David Benavidez vs Caleb Plant Announced for PPV March 25



The two former world champions will go head-to-head in the highly competitive super-middleweight division, when David Benavidez takes on Caleb Plant on March 25.

Benavidez became the youngest ever 168lb world champion when he defeated Ronald Gavril by split for the vacant title in 2017. After defending only the WBC belt once, defeating Gavril in the rematch, Benavidez was stripped of his world title for recreational drug use.

In 2019, he knocked out Anthony Dirrell to regain his world title, before losing weight and lose the belt on the scale in the next match. The Mexican is still competing in the super-middle class and will go into the match with an undefeated record (26-0.23 KOs) and a streak of six consecutive overtime wins.

Meanwhile, former IBF champion Caleb Plant is a longtime rival of Benavidez, with online exchanges occurring frequently over the past few years.

Plant loses its undefeated record in 2021, lost to weight superstar, Canelo Alvarez in the eleventh round of their fight. ‘Sweet Hands’ has always been known for his boxing skills rather than his strength and will be expected to try to knock Benavidez down in this bout.
