VIDEO: Caleb Plant Flexes Boxing Skills When Teammate Tries to Give Him Advice

Published 01/25/2021, 2:41 AM EST

Nicknamed ‘Sweethands’, Caleb Plant is one of the most legitimate threats for the active 168 pounders in boxing. The IBF super middleweight champion has run through the division with 20 wins (12 KOs) in just six years. He will face Caleb Truax next on January 30 before turning attention towards the other elite champions likely Billy Joe Saunders, Canelo Alvarez, or David Benavidez.

Meanwhile, Truax is another such veteran who has been a prime super middleweight puncher for a long time. So, he possesses a serious threat to Caleb Plant’s dominance.

However, ‘Sweethands’ is still the favorite and has recently showcased his abilities ahead of the fight. He has recently posted a brief clip on Instagram from a sparring session. It seems the 28-year-old is working on sleek upper-cuts. If he puts the same to display on fight night, it can be trouble for Truax.

The upcoming super middleweight headliner between Truax and Plant will see Plant’s IBF title go on the line. The event will happen at the Shrine Exposition Centre in Los Angeles, California amid a live audience.

Although Caleb Plant has received most of the favor, some factors put Caleb Truax in a similar position. Excluding all the fight record, Plant and Truax have very similar features. Both the pugilists are orthodox, so stylistically they can challenge each other.

Meanwhile, they measure up almost the same in reach with Truax standing at 75” and Plant at 74” and both pugilists stand at 6’1″. So, it’s safe to say that neither one will have a physical advantage over the other. The only way they can settle the fight is by exhibiting their skills to the best of their abilities till the final bell.

Akin to his previous fights, Plant has vowed to produce an even better version of himself. But boxing is an unpredictable sport, and Truax has all the chances of landing a stunner.
