David Benavidez Calls Out ‘Little B**Ch’ Caleb Plant: ‘Can We Make This Happen 2021?’

Despite bagging a lopsided win against Caleb Truax, IBF champion Caleb Plant couldn’t intimidate a lot of his contemporaries. The current 168 lbs roster is stacked with umpteen A-listers and many of them are still undefeated. That said, David Benavidez has once again called out Caleb Plant after the latter’s successful title defence.

Aged 24, Benavidez already has a pro record of 23-0, with 20 coming via knockouts. He has one of the most alarming KO ratios in the division and has set his eyes on the IBF world title next. Following umpteen call-outs to Caleb Plant, Benavidez once again accused the IBF champion of ducking him.

He took to Instagram and teased a fight against Plant. However, he poured some serious heat in the caption, touting it as an intense collision between two prime 168 pounders.

‘El Bandera Roja’ wrote, “Can we make this happen 2021 or you gonna keep hiding like a little b**** Caleb Plant. Let’s give the fans what they want to see.”
