Caleb Plant Reveals Why He Hijacked Domain Named After David Benavidez

Published 02/24/2023, 12:15 PM EST

Caleb Plant has taken his feud with intense rival David Benavidez to an unmatched level. It is safe to say that there is no inadequacy of bad blood between the two, and Plant did not want to lose any opportunity of trolling the former gym companion. Adding a new chapter to the trash talk, the former IBF super middleweight champion purchased an Internet domain ‘davidbenavidez.com’ named after his opponent ahead of the fight. He did not stop there. In mental warfare, ‘SweetHands’ is in no mood to give any space to Benavidez. He used that domain to name his bio page and also used to sell his merchandise.

After buying it, he wrote on Twitter, “What up y’all, Revenge Tour products are AVAILABLE NOW EXCLUSIVELY and ONLY on DavidBenavidez.com.”

This duo is set to meet in a grudge match which is about a month apart but the tensions between the two have already created a buzz. In the first presser, they went all the way to derate each other and promised to exchange leather with treacherous intentions in order to settle the business.

Prior to this, FightHype.com came across Plant and asked him the reason behind the infamous move of buying a domain.

Why did Caleb Plant buy the domain?

The Tennesse-based boxer said it was in his head for a long time because he knew that they were going to cross paths someday. He bought this domain back in 2018 and kept it as a card in his pocket and waited for the right time to use it.

“And it’s about the marketing for the brand. Some of it’s about just showing him how much smarter I am than him. Some of it’s about the marketing and branding for the clothing and some of us just about owning his digital real estate. You know in this day and age people they’re gonna have to start catching up with the time and to own someone’s digital real estate some people may think that that’s not a big deal”, said Plant. Next, he added that it turned out to be a blessing as he has been selling a lot of merchandise.
