In his last fight, ‘Sweethands’ overpowered Caleb Truax to defend his IBF super-middleweight title. Right from the first gong, Plant walked Truax down and smothered him with a slick combination of punches.

Although he was stunned by a handful of shots from his opponent, Plant didn’t truly let the latter take control of the fight. He claimed a comfortable unanimous decision win in this fight and solidified his pro-boxing resume. Moreover, this was his third major title defense after bagging the title in 2019.

The Nashville native is now waiting to get his hands on the winner of Canelo Alvarez and Billy Joe Saunders. He will battle out either of two in predominantly the biggest fight of his career for the undisputed title. If Plant secures a win in this fight, he will add another feather to his cap, thus cementing himself as the best at the 168-pound weight class.
