Caleb Plant isn’t one to shy away from a challenge. Despite a points loss to David Benavidez in his last fight, Plant has his sights set on a single target: the WBC middleweight champion, Jermall Charlo. While some fighters might opt for a softer touch after a setback, Plant craves another shot at the big leagues.

Plant made his intentions crystal clear on The DAZN Boxing Show, calling out Charlo for a high-stakes showdown. This potential matchup pits two hungry fighters on a collision course. This would also help in settling their beef, where Plant slapped Charlo back in July 2023. Now he has released his recent training footage, which might serve as a reminder of the course that he is on.

Is Caleb Plant preparing to take on Jermall Charlo?

Remember the infamous slap at the Terence Crawford–Errol Spence Jr. weigh-in? Caleb Plant, the man behind the left-handed slap seen around the boxing world, had already spoken out. The viral footage left everyone scratching their heads, but Plant’s Instagram Live shed light on the backstage altercation. According to Plant, it wasn’t just a random act of aggression.

He claimed that Jermall Charlo, the WBC middleweight champion, had been provoking him. Insults and beard-yanking, Plant alleged, were the final straw before the slap was heard around the boxing world. He explained, “He kept touching me in my face. And I told him knock that s—t off, but he wouldn’t listen. I’m trying to be left the f—k alone, I know that.”

Well, now their feud has taken a next step as Plant looks towards a fight against Charlo. FightHype uploaded the video of Plant’s training, and wrote the title as, “Caleb Plant NEW Jermall Charlo KO SLAP Reminder; LEVELS UP to begin REVENGE TOUR.” This hints toward a potential fight between the two, and the fans can’t help but make their excitement evident.

Fans believe in Sweethands

The fans were mostly in favor of Sweethands beating up Jermall Charlo in the fight. The reason could be the inactivity of Charlo over the past few years. Let’s look at what the fans have to say.

One of the fans stated that it’s always great to see Caleb Plant back in his training camp. They wrote, “Excited to see this guy back! One of the best skill sets in the division.”

Another fan stated that Plant is one of the few fighters who never backs down from a fight. They wrote, “One of the few throwback fighters that’ll fight anyone.”

One fan seemed excited, as the two fighters with the best jabs in the game might square up against each other. They wrote, “I’d love to see a battle of the jabs between Charlo and plant for a few rounds before a fight breaks out.”

A fan mentioned how they’ve started liking Caleb Plant, after his fight against Canelo Alvarez. They wrote, “i like the way calebs been since canelo goin plant ! keep.”

A YouTube user stated that this fight won’t be hard for Plant to win since he’s quite skillful. He just needs to brush up on a few of his techniques. They wrote, “Caleb is going to beat the hell out of Charlo if they fight. He’s always sharp. He just need to work on pacing and conditioning. The fights that he lost he seemed to be ahead or even on the cards before things went bad.”

The fans rallied behind Caleb Plant in preparation for his upcoming fight. However, there is a slight chance that his next opponent might be Jermall Charlo. With Canelo Alvarez already moving on to fight Jaime Munguia, Charlo will also need a new opponent, making this a perfect opportunity for both fighters.
