Caleb Plant Hypes Up Wife After Bittersweet Outcome In Her Second Powerlifting Meet

Caleb Plant, affiliated with PBC, typically graces the ring on FOX Sports and Showtime in the U.S. Interestingly, it was through these platforms that he crossed paths with his now-wife, Jordan Hardy. Jordan Hardy, now Jordan Plant, serves as a ringside boxing reporter and broadcaster for FOX Sports, often appearing at her husband’s fights. Caleb, however, is not the only athlete in the duo.

Born on July 19, 1992, Jordan is a former track and field standout from the University of Arizona, specializing in competitive 100 meters. Their shared professional involvement in the boxing world adds an extra layer to their connection. Jordan brings her expertise to the ringside while supporting Caleb in his endeavors. This time, it was Caleb’s turn.

How does Caleb Plant’s wife keep him motivated?

Jordan has been polishing her powerlifting skills. February 3 marked her second powerlifting competition where she participated in all three events, representing the women’s open 60kg (132.2lbs) weight class in squat, bench, and deadlift. Unfortunately, she faced a disqualification in the squat due to rule misunderstandings which sidelined her from the medal contention. However, despite this setback, the reporter showcased her efforts with a 194lbs back squat, a 121lbs bench press, and a new PR with a 281lbs deadlift. Although these lifts didn’t officially count, she would have secured a 1st place victory in the 60kg women’s open division by 10kg (22lbs).

Plant was quick to comment on her post saying “She’s different yall she’s different”. He even made sure to let his fans know of her achievements. On his Instagram story, he shared his wife’s post about the powerlifting event, captioning it “easy to stay motivated around her”.

After giving birth to her daughter Charly, the boxing correspondent turned powerlifter made waves in the powerlifting community. Sharing a series of pictures on her Twitter profile last September, she showed her dedication, strapping on a weightlifting belt and navigating through challenging weights. Announcing her venture into powerlifting on September 10, just a year after childbirth, she showcased remarkable courage and resilience. “I competed in my first powerlifting competition today and took the gold! 8 weeks ago my friend Brandon talked me into signing up for this and I’m grateful that he did,” she said.

Under the guidance of Tony Brady, she diligently trained for the deadlift, silencing any doubts. Juggling the responsibilities of motherhood and her newfound passion was not easy. She expressed the reward of competing against other women after just a year post-birth. Detailing her intense training schedule and weight management with Perfecting Athletes, she reflected on her unforgettable journey. In her competition, weighing 130.6lbs, she lifted an impressive 259lbs.
