Jose Benavidez Jr. Blasts Caleb Plant for Saying ‘Dumb Sh*t’ at ‘Creed 3’ US Premiere Ahead of David Benavidez Fight

Former IBF super-middleweight champion Caleb Plant is set to take on former two-division champion David Benavidez for the number one contender’s spot on March 25. The winner of this fight is likely to get the opportunity to challenge the undisputed champion, Canelo Alvarez. Notably, ‘SweetHands’ has already faced Saul, the fight he lost via knockout. Benavidez on the other hand has long been wanting to meet the Mexican superstar in the ring for a title shot. Moreover, this fight will provide certainty about who is the next title challenger.

The build-up to this fight has been quite entertaining with both sides having a lot of bad blood between them. The feud reportedly started when Plant threw a sucker punch at his brother Jose Benavidez Jr.

However, since then, this feud has spiraled down to the point where both men have a culpable dislike for each other and are ready to throw hands this March. In addition, Jose was not shy to blast the 31-year-old at the premiere of Creed 3.

He revealed that Plant had said a few bad things about his hometown of Seattle and should concentrate more on training rather than talking trash.

“He’s a b**ch. Why he gonna do that and then he goes and says some dumb sh*t about people in Seattle being snitches or something. What he needs to do is keep training. Don’t worry about that other sh*t cause your f***ing yourself up with that one,” he said.

It seems that Jose is confident that his brother will overcome Plant in their upcoming fight. The 26-0 undefeated boxer is the favorite to win but will not have an easy fight by any means against the veteran Plant who does have a plethora of experience with him.

Plant trolls David Benavidez by buying up his site domain

Plant continued to play his mind games after he mercilessly trolled Benavidez. In a Twitter post, he revealed that he had bought a domain named davidbenavidez.com but instead turned it into a marketplace to sell his own merchandise. He revealed a range of caps and T-shirts that fans could buy from this website.

However, such a level of trolling could also prove to be a double-edged sword for the former IBF champion looking for a resurgence in his career. This fight will certainly be one of the top fights this year and will also help put out a fiery rivalry to rest.
