After his successful return against Jose Benavidez in November, the 33-year-old referred to the incident where Caleb Plant slapped him. On being asked if he wanted to face Plant next who was at the ringside of Benavidez vs. Charlo, ‘Hit Man’ said, “For sure, the whole world could come out and watch that Plant fight when I get a chance to. He lucky tonight that I didn’t go down there and slap his b**ch a**.” However, the WBC Middleweight champion also pointed out how little he worried about Caleb since the latter currently held no belt.
