In the aftermath of the slap, the boxing community was abuzz with rumors and speculation. A point of contention that caught everyone’s attention was the role Caleb Plant’s wife might have played in this fiery altercation. However, setting the record straight and clearing the air around this speculation, Caleb emphatically stated, “No, my wife didn’t get smacked. Nobody touched my wife.”
This revelation takes us a step closer to understanding the underlying emotions that triggered the intense face-off. While Plant’s wife was indeed present during the altercation, her involvement seems limited to being an onlooker. Still, the mere presence of his wife added to the emotional gravity of the situation. It was a pivotal moment, not just in the context of the scuffle but in emphasizing Plant’s unwavering stand to protect his honor and those close to him.
What explanation did Caleb Plant give for slapping Jermall Charlo?
Transitioning from the speculative realm to the facts, Caleb Plant didn’t withhold his reasoning behind the high-profile altercation. In a candid Instagram Live session, Plant laid bare the emotional turmoil that led to his audacious slap on Jermall Charlo. According to Plant, Charlo’s barrage of verbal taunts and an invasive tug at his beard is what triggered the confrontation.
Plant relayed the tense events, saying, “You know, grown man touch another grown man in his face, pulling on his beard real hard… I’ve got the decency to tell you not to do that again, and I don’t smash on you right there… You immediately grab my face again even harder, after I asked you not to do that no more.” This vivid recounting set the stage for the dramatic climax that followed.
Furthermore, he elaborated, “I got my wife standing right behind me and I’m in a room full of my peers…You’re really putting his back to the wall, when you start doing all that sh*t, you know, in front of my wife and everybody in the room. I asked you to quit f***in with me.”
The presence of his wife during this tense moment seemed to have added fuel to the fire. Plant’s words resonated with the essence of a man pushed to his limits, encapsulating the charged atmosphere that culminated in a slap.
Expressively, Plant underscored the unbearable position Charlo placed him in, particularly in the presence of his spouse and peers. The slap, as Plant detailed, was more of a defensive reflex to protect his honor amid a room full of onlookers. It’s evident that Plant viewed his retaliatory slap as a necessary stance against Charlo’s unyielding provocations, a stance that has now etched itself into the annals of boxing confrontations.
How did Jermall Charlo’s younger brother Jermell Charlo react to it?
It’s fascinating to see how this incident impacted those closely related to the parties involved. Particularly, Jermell Charlo, the younger twin of Jermall, found himself inadvertently caught in the crossfire of public reaction post-altercation.
Following the heated exchange between Caleb Plant and Jermall Charlo, Jermell took to his Instagram story to voice his frustrations. He wrote, “This is one of the frustrations of being a twin. To all you casual boxing fans, I did not get slapped nor pushed that lady at the fights for doing her job. Please stop tagging me. I’m locked in and focused on greatness coming September 30th. Follow Me while I take Htown to the top!”
While Jermell seeks to clear the air around the Plant-Jermall controversy, he is concurrently gearing up for a significant challenge. On September 30th, Jermell is set to face none other than the boxing maestro Canelo Alvarez. The post encapsulates his determination to maintain his focus and achieve excellence in the boxing realm, undistracted by external narratives.
