Plant gave a training camp update and talked about his upcoming bout and more:
On fighting in his first 10-round main event on FS1…
“This is a big opportunity for me to show the fans that I have arrived. FS1 is seen by millions around the word and I’m ready to make a statement to a national audience. I’ve been working hard to get to this point and I’m going to shine.”
On his matchup with Juan De Angel...
“Like all fights at this level, it’s going to be a tough fight. I’m expecting to see a hungry fighter who has nothing to lose. I myself have everything to lose so I’m going to make sure I’m at my best when we step in the ring. De Angel has held some regional belts so I know he has some tricks up his sleeve. One thing I will do is dictate the pace.”
On the landscape of the middleweight division…
“The middleweight division has plenty of talent. Gennady Golovkin has a stranglehold on the division at the moment but I’m gunning for him and anyone else that’s in my way. First I have to get past this fight and then continue my march toward that world title.”
On his recent training camp…
“My team and I have been working extremely hard. I’ve got all the right people in my corner helping me get to the top. I’m sparring with some really good fighters. I’ve taken my conditioning to new levels. My body is fresh and I’m amped up for this fight.”
On his quest to become the first world champion to come out of Nashville, TN…
“To become the first world champion to come out of Tennessee would be incredible. I know I have a lot of hard work that needs to be done but I’m ready for the difficult challenge. Nashville needs a boxing champion and I know in my heart that it will happen. I’m just taking it one fight at a time.”

Middleweight Prospect Caleb Plant Remains Unbeaten With Unanimous Decision Victory
Photo By Premier Boxing Champions (PBC)
HOUSTON, TX (November 2, 2015) – This past Saturday at the NRG Arena in Houston, Texas, middleweight prospect, Caleb “Sweet-Hands” Plant (11-0, 8 KOs), remained undefeated, winning by way of a unanimous decision against his toughest opponent to date in Tyrone Brunson (22-6, 21 KOs).
In the early rounds Plant used an educated jab to offset the power punches that Brunson was trying to land. As the fight went on, Caleb continued to apply pressure with the jab and started to land his overhand right. Brunson, who was backing up most of the fight, had no answer to the technical boxing skills that Plant was displaying. Caleb showed elusive defense throughout the fight when Brunson, who had a reach advantage, tried to land his combinations. Plant, who dominated in punches landed, won by an impressive unanimous decision. Scorecards read 79-73 twice and 78-74.
With the victory, Plant is on the fast track to becoming a household name in the middleweight division. As 2015 approaches the end, Caleb feels he’s right on pace to accomplish his goal of becoming a world champion.
“Everything is going as planned and I felt I showed a lot of maturity against Brunson,” said Tennessee native Caleb Plant. “Every fight is getting me ready for the next level. As I step up in competition, I see myself going the distance more often. It’s a good thing because you never want to rely on your power to win fights. Although most of my wins have come by knockout, I’m more confident in my ability to box my way to a victory if I have to. With another year or so under my belt, I’ll feel I’ll be ready to challenge anyone in the middleweight division.”
Plant vs. Brunson was televised as part of Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) on NBCSN and promoted by Leija*Battah Promotions.
