Caleb Plant Sends A Message To All Challengers At 168lbs: ‘I’m Not Ducking Anybody, I’m Not Dodging Anybody’

Caleb Plant has sent a message to his entire division letting them know he is ready for any challenger.

Plant has not fought since he suffered a TKO loss to Canelo Alvarez last November and since then there have been talks of fighting the likes of David Benavidez, Jermall Charlo, David Morrell, and Anthony Dirrell, and others. Although he doesn’t have a fight booked, Plant has taken a shot at his division letting them know he’s ready to fight anyone.

“I’m not ducking anybody, I’m not dodging anybody. If I’m fighting Canelo, who has accomplished what he’s accomplished, then I’m not scared of anybody,” Plant said on The Good Fight with Kate Abdo. “Getting the biggest name possible will let the boxing world know that I’m not here to play and take my time. I want to get right back to it. After I do that successfully, then it’s to move into the biggest fight out there.

“Whether that’s Charlo or Benavidez, and clearing out the rest of the division. As soon as I get this next win, I’m going to be stepping right to them,” Plant continued. “These are the fights that I want, and these are the fights that boxing fans deserve. So I’m going to be pushing for these fights and making them happen.”

When Caleb Plant returns to the ring, he says he will have a lot of confidence, especially after how he did against Canelo Alvarez. The American believes he was winning the fight until he got caught and he says that shows just how good he is.

“I feel like I was winning until I got clipped. I felt like I was winning six to four,” Plant said. “They could have had it 6-4, 5-5. That’s a close fight going into the 11th round, especially against someone with Canelo’s experience. That’s not something you can buy or train for … I had some other close people tell me it could have been 6-4 his way. Either way, going into the 12th round, that’s a razor-close fight.

“Getting that experience is something I keep in my tool belt and will come in handy. There are things we can get better at, but we weren’t far off,” Plant concluded. “It’s an opportunity to learn how to get better from that. Instead of crying and complaining and making excuses, we just need to get right to it and dissect things, pick it apart and see what we can get better at.”
