Was Caleb Plant’s Father a Kickboxer?

Caleb Plant is an elite fighter of the modern era of boxing. Slowly and steadily, the 29-year-old has made some sound statements with his exemplary in-ring performances. Also, in every weight class he’s fought in, Plant has left a huge mark, and he has only gotten better with time. And it’s safe to say that Caleb Plant is one of the best boxers of recent times.

Alongside boxing, Plant dedicates a chunk of his time to his beloved family. The IBF super-middleweight champ is a family man, and he makes sure to manage his personal and professional life efficiently.

But do you know anything about his personal life or his parents? Do you know who was Caleb Plant’s father?

Who is Caleb Plant’s father? 

Caleb’s father, Richie Plant, was a kickboxer, but he never elevated his career to a big stage. However, his son made it big, and every hardcore boxing lover rightly knows who Caleb Plant is.

Who are Caleb Plant’s parents?

Plant was born to Richie Plant (father) and Beth Pratt (mother) on July 8, 1992, in the United States. Many get confused about Caleb Plant’s nationality, thinking he’s a Mexican boxer. But, ‘Sweethands’ is of the American nationality.

Is Caleb Plant undefeated?

Plant, as of now, has a whopping 21 wins under his belt with 0 losses. He turned into a professional boxer back in 2014, and since then his career has only been on a rise. The undefeated fighter kept his attention primarily to the middleweight and super-middleweight division. However, Plant didn’t win a single belt in the middleweight roster.

That said, he moved up weight classes along with his boxing skills to finally compete for the IBF 168-pound title in 2019. He defeated Jose Uzcategui via a unanimous decision to claim his very first title.

Since then, Plant defended his title thrice successfully.

If ‘Sweethands’ hangs around the super-middleweight scene for a long time, he’ll surely be considered among the best in this weight class. But for now, he has umpteen hurdles to pass and it’ll be intriguing to see how he does the same.
