It will be difficult to move away from the couch this weekend if you’re a South African sports fan, as there is an embarrassment of riches over the different sports.
The Springboks, Dricus Du Plessis and MTN8 action will be high on the agenda. The best part is that most of the drama will not overlap with the rugby, UFC and soccer, well-spaced out.

The event starts at 4am SA time, with Du Plessis expected to start his fight at any time between 5.30am and 6.30am. To be safe and avoid missing any of Du Plessis’s fight, it’s best to be safely ensconced in front of the TV by no later than 5am. This is one SA fight fans will not want to miss.
