Caleb Plant took the biggest fight of his career against Canelo Alvarez last year. Both the men locked horns in an undisputed super-middleweight title collision. Although Plant was the underdog, he had some solid support from his teammates and, predominantly, his wife, Jordan Plant. She was ringside for this fight, cheering, applauding her husband every second.

That said, even when he lost to the p4p king in his last fight, Jordan Plant only remained proud of her man. She even took it to social media to express her true feelings about ‘Sweethands’ and his performance. That night, Caleb Plant gave his best to keep the fight even.

Using his height, Plant distanced himself from Canelo. However, the Mexican fighter targeted Plant’s body with some powerful blows.

The tussle between the two men seemed to go the distance. But it was in round 11 when Canelo caught his foe with a left shot to the chin, coupled with a right uppercut. With that, Plant went on the canvas, and as soon as he got up, Canelo floored him again, landing a barrage of punches.

He certainly failed to hammer Canelo that night. But Plant proved his case as to why he’s a true warrior. ‘Sweethands’ still has a lot to trace in the coming years and he seems far from signing off.

It’ll be interesting to see when he finally makes a comeback to the squared circle.
