Photo By Lucas Noonan
NASHVILLE, TN (Septembro 2, 2015)Undefeated Middleweight prospect, Caleb “Dolĉa Manoj” Planto (9-0, 8 KOs), makes a speedy return to the ring as he will face an opponent TBA on Mardo, Septembro 22, 2015 at the Sands Casino Resort in Bethlehem, Pensilvanio. La Superegaj Boksaj #?ampiono (PBC) en Fox Sports 1 will televise the card headlined by Julian Williams #Kontra?. Luciano Cuello. Plant will open up the telecast which begins at 9PMa ET / 6PMa PT live on Fox Sports 1.
With seven first round knockouts to his credit, Planto, a rising star, is rapidly establishing himself as one of the most feared fighters in the middleweight division. He’s currently riding a seven fight knockout streak, having gone the distance only once in his career.
En lia lasta vico, which took place on August 15, 2015, Plant demolished late sup Zoltan Sera (20-6, 12 KOs) by way of a first round knockout. Look for Caleb Plant to continue with an aggressive style when he steps into the ring on Sept, 22.
Although I have a few first round knockouts, I really like to take my time and pick my shots in my fights,” Diris Caleb Fabrikejo. “#Bon?ance, 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, but there is no doubt, if I get my opponent hurt, I’m going for the knockout.
Fighting on television for the first time in his last outing, Plant is relishing on the fact that his fight will be broadcasted live on Fox Sports 1. Managed by Al Haymon, Plant sees a bright future.
It’s really exciting to know all my fans and family back home will be able to tune in and watch me fight,” Plant continued. “Krome, those who haven’t had a chance to see me in action, will now get their opportunity. When you have a person like Al Haymon in your corner, it’s a very satisfying feeling, 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.
