Trevor McCumby’s upcoming fight could be a massive turning point in his career. He will be locking horns with the former super-middleweight champion Caleb Plant on the undercard of the Canelo Alvarez vs Edgar Berlanga main event. The 31-year-old Arizona-based fighter is relatively unknown in the professional boxing scene despite having an undefeated boxing record. A win against Plant would put the marker down and catapult him into more lucrative fights in the future.
Feeling seemingly confident ahead of the showdown, McCumby wants to make Plant “quit” in the ring. “There’s no animosity, but I am coming for your heart,” McCumby stated in one of his media interviews. That being said, it is important to explore the relationship McCumby has with his wife and kids who have been providing him the much-needed motivation to turn up in the squared circle time and time again and continue his hunt for accolades in the brutal sport of boxing.

McCumby’s wife is his pillar of support as he continues on his quest to become a world champion. After the fight with Felipe Romero in 2018, McCumby was on a long four-year hiatus, and his return was stalled by a knee injury suffered in sparring. During his long break from boxing, he was working at a convenience store in Arizona, and meeting his then-girlfriend and now-wife Kenzie, at the non-denominational Christian church, The Rock, changed his perspective on life. In an interview with the International Brotherhood of Prizefighters, Trevor revealed that before meeting his wife he was not taking boxing “seriously”, and was more interested in “partying”. However, having a wife and kids does change your priorities. McCumby tied the knot with Kenzie in 2022, and ever since their marriage has been going strong.

The happy couple shares photos of their blissful love life quite frequently on social media. Kenzie is “immensely proud” of her husband and is very supportive of his professional boxing career. “Not only have you been the most amazing husband this past year, you’ve been my biggest supporter, my rock, and the safest place while everyone and everything seemed like it was going crazy,” she wrote while sharing a carousel of pictures for their first marriage anniversary post.
“You’re an incredible husband, a one-in-a-million type of father, and I’m so blessed to call you mine. What a beautiful, wonderful, sweet year of being you wife. I love you more today than I did a year ago and I will love you more tomorrow than I did today,” she further added. Meanwhile, Trevor too never shies away from public displays of affection for his wife on social media. “Beautiful bonds. My beautiful wife, my covenant before God to love you forever, be selfless, love and care for you and our family. I love you and will never let you down,” Trevor wrote while posting a loved-up picture from their marriage ceremony.
According to her LinkedIn profile, Kenzie works as a coordinator at the Center for Dermatology & Plastic Surgery. Currently, Trevor and Kenie are ready to welcome another addition to the family besides their two little ones.
