He used to plead for lunch money at school to get a slice of pizza for him as well as his sister. The fighter further emphasized that their life was a complete mess until his father saved enough money to take over a kickboxing gym. “It was a good place for all of us, even my sister Madeline, for her to jog along with us and work out, have friends and buddies there that helped lift us out of a difficult place. We could just all get out for a little bit and do something that we love. Most of all it helped that we did it as a family,” said Plant.
