NASHVILLE, TN (Setembre 2, 2015) – El invicte prospecte de pes mitjà, Caleb “Mans Dolços” Planta (9-0, 8 KOs), fa un ràpid retorn al ring quan s'enfrontarà a un oponent TBA en Dimarts, Setembre 22, 2015 al Sands Casino Resort a Betlem, Pennsilvània. La Lliga de Campions de Boxa (PBC) per Fox Sports 1 televisarà la targeta encapçalada per Julian Williams vs. Luciano Coll. Plant will open up the telecast which begins at 9PM ET / 6PM PT viure per Fox Sports 1.
Amb set nocauts primera ronda en el seu haver, Planta, una estrella en ascens, is rapidly establishing himself as one of the most feared fighters in the middleweight division. He’s currently riding a seven fight knockout streak, havent anat a la distància una sola vegada en la seva carrera.
En la seva última baralla, que va tenir lloc a l'agost 15, 2015, Planta demolit sup tard Zoltan Sera (20-6, 12 KOs) per mitjà d'una primera ronda eliminatòria. Busqui Caleb Plant per continuar amb un estil agressiu quan pugi al ring al setembre, 22.
“Encara que tinc un parell de nocauts primera ronda, Realment m'agrada agafar-me el meu temps i recollir les meves tirs en els meus baralles,” dir Caleb Planta. “Afortunadament, 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, però no hi ha dubte, si aconsegueixo el meu mal oponent, Vaig pel nocaut.”
Lluita a la televisió per primera vegada en la seva última sortida, Plant is relishing on the fact that his fight will be broadcasted live on Fox Sports 1. Gestionat per Al Haymon, Planta veu un futur brillant.
“És molt emocionant saber tots els meus fans i familiars a casa serà capaç de sintonitzar i veure lluita,” Va continuar Planta. “Addicionalment, aquells que no han tingut l'oportunitat de veure en acció, will now get their opportunity. When you have a person like Al Haymon in your corner, és una sensació molt satisfactòria, 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.
