Precisely ten days from now, MGM Grand Arena will light up with one of the biggest showdowns of recent times. Former IBF Super Middleweight champion Caleb Plant will meet reigning WBC Interim Super Middleweight champion David Benavidez on March 25. The latter is a high-octane striker who prefers obliterating his opponents in the early rounds of the fight. On the other hand, Plant, a pure technical boxer, prefers staying outside using jabs and counter-punches.
Hence in all probability, Sweethands will try to burn out a swarmer like Benavidez over the rounds. The preparation is in full swing at both camps, and often fans and followers get a glimpse of their icon’s routine and training.
Today early morning, Caleb Plant shared footage of his taxing training regimen that astonished the viewers, and many among them shared their thoughts and wished the very best.

Fans rally behind Caleb Plant
@MarkCol16352305 told Plant to dispatch off Benavidez quickly and attached the famous quote from the most extraordinary Muhammad Ali, “I hated every minute of training, but I said, ‘Don’t quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion’.“

@Teddy__grahamz said that Plant should continue working hard and be a role model to many who repeatedly face hurdles and comments like, “you don’t have the right look to make it.” He should never forget that person’s motivations and emotions are invisible to the naked eye.
✊🏽🙏🏽…continue the grind and inspire all those he have been told “you don’t have the right look to make it”…heart and desire can’t be seen from the outside!!! 702 rep

@MMKM365 expressed complete faith in Plant’s abilities. He urged the former champion to keep his wits about and never stop being good to others even when odds and difficulties scale up against him. A person has to work hard and get what he wants; nothing in life is free.
Believing in you champion. When the evil tries to rise against you, meet it in return with yours, but remain intelligent and never fully let go of the good in you. Nothing given, all of it earned.#Plant

The collision of two opposing style masters will surely give all the viewers a memorable night. While reportedly Benavidez seems to have a higher chance of winning, nobody seems willing to take a chance on ruling out Plant either.
