Does Caleb Plant have kids?
Before Caleb Plant met Jordan Hardy in 2016, the IBF champion was with a woman named Carman Jean Briscoe-Lee. With her, he had his daughter, Alia Plant, who was born on 7 May 2013. This would go on to change Caleb Plant’s life forever.
Unfortunately, the infant suffered from a brain abnormality and got pestered by seizures, which occurred hundreds of times a few days. Alia Plant even had respiratory problems which worsened her illness.
His daughter barely lived for 19 months with some serious illness throughout her lifespan. She spent most of her life in and out of the hospital, and Plant couldn’t really enjoy and do what he dreamed of before becoming a father.
Caleb Plant has now dedicated his life to achieving new heights in the sport. Even after the Uzcategui win, he said that he had to overcome the death of his daughter in the process of becoming a champion.
