On retuning in a 10-round main event on FS1:
“Fighting on FS1 once again is a tremendous blessing to my career. The exposure I’ll get will be incredible. The goal is to win, and win impressively. The time is now to show the world who Caleb Plant is. I’m here to entertain the masses.”
On his matchup with Thomas Awimbono:
“Awimbono is a big puncher who has been in the ring with some top-level fighters. He’s never been knocked out so I know he’s tough as nails. This will be his second fight of 2017 so I’m expecting him to be in shape and ready to fight. This will be a nice step up fight and one I see myself winning.”
On recently being world ranked in the super-middleweight division:
“My career is progressing the way I envisioned it. Αμέσως, I’m currently rated #11 in the IBF and with a few more wins, I’ll be ready to challenge for a world title. Πρώτα, I must get past Awimbono. He is my main focus at the moment. But I’m thrilled to be moving up the rankings.”
On his recent training camp:
“Since I moved out to Las Vegas last August, this will be the first full training camp I’ve had out here. We got great sparring with some top competition. My trainer Justin Gamber, who flew out from Nashville and has been with me for the last month. We did everything we needed to do to be prepared for this fight. Είμαι έτοιμος να πάω.”
On fighting at the Legacy Arena in Birmingham, Αλαμπάμα, the closest ever to his hometown of Nashville, TN:
“I’m expecting a lot of family and friends to be in attendance since Alabama is only a couple of hours away from Nashville. This is the closest I’ve ever fought to home. I’m excited and I’m going to give all the fans a great night of entertainment.”
