Die Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) op Fox Sports 1 sal die kaart opskrif deur Televize Julian Williams vs. Luciano Cuello. Plant will open up the telecast which begins at 9PM ET / 6PM PT woon op Fox Sports 1.
Met sewe eerste ronde uitklophoue tot sy krediet, Plant, 'n stygende ster, is rapidly establishing himself as one of the most feared fighters in the middleweight division. He’s currently riding a seven fight knockout streak, die afstand net een keer het gegaan in sy loopbaan.
In sy laaste bout, wat op Augustus plaasgevind het 15, 2015, Plant gesloop laat sup Zoltan Sera (20-6, 12 Uitklophoue) by wyse van 'n eerste ronde knockout. Kyk vir Caleb Plant om voort te gaan met 'n aggressiewe styl wanneer hy stappe in die ring op September, 22.
“Alhoewel ek het 'n paar eerste ronde uitklophoue, Ek het regtig graag my tyd te neem en pluk my skote in my gevegte,” gesê Kaleb Plant. “Gelukkig, I’ve been able to get my opponents hurt early and get them out of there. I’m prepared to go the distance if I have to, maar daar is geen twyfel, as ek my opponent seer, Ek gaan vir die uitklophou.”
Veg op televisie vir die eerste keer in sy laaste uitstappie, Plant is relishing on the fact that his fight will be broadcasted live on Fox Sports 1. Bestuur deur Al HAYMON, Plant sien 'n blink toekoms.
“Dit is regtig opwindend om al my fans en familie terug by die huis weet kan inskakel sal wees en kyk my stryd,” Plant voortgegaan. “Daarbenewens, diegene wat nie 'n kans om my te sien in aksie gehad het, will now get their opportunity. When you have a person like Al Haymon in your corner, dit is 'n baie bevredigende gevoel, because you with hard work opportunities will be there. My goal is to keep working hard and take advantage of every opportunity that comes my way. I’m very pleased to be making a quick return to the ring.
