Caleb Plant (22-year-old, 13 KOs), who was born in Nashville, Tennessee, now lives in Las Vegas and trains in the DLX Boxing Gym with his father Richie Plant, and trainer Stephen Edwards “Breadman” is coming back after almost 18 months on the ring. Ubidding has been a world contender fighter at 32 years of age, he couldn’t quite understand why McCumby took up the sport so late.
Trevor McCumby (28-0, 21 KOs), who stands at 5 feet 11 inches and is from Glendale, Arizona, has been given the tag ‘prospect’ even for his age. Caleb, who shot to fame much earlier than McCumby wants to know why the latter took so long to challenge a world-class fighter.

Caleb Plant gained stardom quickly and became among the popular fighters in the super middleweight class. He won the IBF super middleweight belt in 2019, which he has successfully defended up to three times before stepping in the ring with two of the sport’s most famous faces; Canelo Alvarez in 2021 and David Benavidez in 2023.
Although Caleb Plant had lost two of his fights but was applauded for his guts and a never-give-up spirit. He has since become an influential personality in the boxing arena not only for fights, but his mouth and attire and even his clothing line- Revenge Tour.
It was told by him while commenting about the trip he was favorite demonstrating the reckless attitude he had adopted in the quest to challenge formidable rivals at the beginning of his career. This he did, to bring into contrast the image of what McCumby must have about his ability as a fighter, in the time he took to get to this level of play.
Caleb Plant has taken McCumby’s decision to challenge him personally, especially since McCumby chose him as the opponent. He feels that showing a certain level of confidence, McCumby should have been going out for harder opponents much earlier in his career.
Focused on the Task at Hand
Despite his doubts about McCumby’s readiness, Caleb is not taking this fight lightly. He emphasized the importance of staying focused and not overlooking his opponent, Caleb stated;
I haven’t looked past this fight, Plant said. Too many fighters talk about their next fight and then lose the one in front of them. I don’t want to be that fighter.
Caleb Plant now entering the fight more anticipating to demonstrate to the public that he still has his strengths and potential in the super middleweight category; on the other hand, McCumby aims to prove that he deserves to compete with the best boxers. Stake in this fight could be very high for both the fighters especially because the fight could determine their prospects in the cage or ring.
