Caleb Plant

Caleb Plant Caleb Plant Net Worth 2024, Next Fight, Wife, Record &amp; More Who is Caleb Plant? Caleb Hunter Plant is an American professional boxer who gained prominence in the super middleweight division. Known for his slick boxing skills, quick footwork, and solid defensive techniques, Plant earned the nickname &#8220;Sweethands&#8221; due to his swift and fluid punch combinations. Plant made a name for himself by winning the IBF super middleweight title and defending it multiple times between 2019 and 2021. NASHVILLE, TN &#8211; FEBRUARY 15: Caleb Plant of United States celebrates after defeating Vincent Feigenbutz of Germany in their IBF world super middleweight championship bout at Bridgestone Arena on February 15, 2020 in Nashville, Tennessee. Plant defeats Feigenbutz by TKO during the tenth round. (Photo by Brett Carlsen/Getty Images) He has faced some of the biggest names in the sport, cementing his status as one of the top fighters in his weight class. In addition to his prowess in the ring, Caleb Plant is admired for his perseverance and the personal adversities he has overcome throughout his life. Caleb Plantâ€™s Early Life Caleb Plant was born on July 8, 1992, in Ashland City, Tennessee, USA. Growing up in a small town, Plant had a challenging upbringing. His father, Richie Plant, was a former kickboxer, and it was from him that Caleb inherited a passion for combat sports. Calebâ€™s mother, Beth Plant, worked various jobs to support the family. Financial struggles were a regular feature of his childhood, but his parents instilled in him a work ethic that would eventually serve him well in the boxing ring. Regarding siblings, Caleb Plant is the middle child between two sisters, the elderÂ Hannah, and the youngerÂ Madeline. Unfortunately, only a few details about their education and career are available. Plant began boxing at the age of 8, under the guidance of his father. Richie was deeply involved in shaping Caleb&#8217;s boxing journey, pushing him to pursue his dreams in the face of numerous challenges. By the age of nine, Caleb had his first amateur fight. With Ashland City being a small community with limited opportunities, Caleb and his father had to travel long distances to attend fights and tournaments. Despite these hardships, Caleb excelled in the amateur boxing scene. One of the most significant moments in Caleb Plantâ€™s early life was his decision to fully commit to boxing. He chose to drop out of high school in his junior year to focus entirely on his boxing career. Although this was a difficult decision, it underscored Plantâ€™s determination and belief in his ability to succeed as a professional boxer. His dedication paid off when he won the National Golden Gloves championship in 2011 in the light heavyweight division and was later named an alternate for the U.S. Olympic team in 2012. Plant also had a successful amateur career, amassing an impressive record of 97 wins and 20 losses. However, despite his early successes, Caleb Plant&#8217;s life wasn&#8217;t without its share of tragedies. In 2019, in one of the most tragic incidents in his life, his mother, Beth Plant, was shot and killed by police officers during an altercation when she started wielding a knife. Despite the heartbreaking loss, Caleb Plant fought on. Even before his mother&#8217;s tragic loss, he had been through another devastating bereavementâ€”the loss of a child. Caleb Plant&#8217;s Wife and Daughter Caleb Plant was previously in a relationship with Carman Briscoe. A 20-year-old Plant and a 19-year-old Briscoe soon had a daughter, Alia born in May 2013. However, Alia was born with a rare medical condition that severely impacted her health. She faced a series of complications, including seizures and respiratory issues. Alia required constant medical care and attention, and despite Plantâ€™s efforts to give her the best possible life, she passed away in January 2015 at just 19 months old. The loss of his daughter deeply affected Caleb, who has since spoken about it. Plant has often dedicated his fights to Alia, using her memory as a source of strength and motivation. In October 2019, Caleb Plant married Jordan Hardy, a Fox Sports reporter and broadcaster who has worked with Premier Boxing Champions (PBC). The two had met while Hardy was covering one of Plantâ€™s fights, and they quickly formed a bond. The couple tied the knot following Calebâ€™s proposal after his victory over JosÃ© UzcÃ¡tegui in January 2019. In August 2022, they welcomed their first child together, a daughter named Charly Lynn Plant. Despite his previous hardships, Plant is now enjoying family life with his wife and daughter while maintaining his successful boxing career. Caleb Plant&#8217;s Net Worth 2024 As of 2024, Caleb Plant&#8217;s estimated net worth is around $5 million according to Freshers Live. His primary source of income is his professional boxing career, with substantial earnings from his fights, endorsements, and pay-per-view events. Plantâ€™s most lucrative fight to date was his bout against Mexican boxing superstar Canelo Ãlvarez in November 2021, where he reportedly earned around $10 million, which included a guaranteed purse and a share of the pay-per-view earnings.

Mandatory Credit: Joe Camporeale-USA TODAY Sports Aside from his earnings from boxing, Caleb Plant has secured endorsement deals and sponsorships that contribute to his net worth. As a high-profile athlete, he has partnered with several companies in the health and fitness sectors, such as SNAC Nutrition. Plantâ€™s net worth is expected to grow as he continues his boxing career and potentially engages in more high-profile fights. Caleb Plantâ€™s Career Timeline 2014: Caleb Plant made his professional debut on May 10, 2014, with a first-round knockout against Travis Davidson at the USC Galen Center in Los Angeles. He ended his debut year with an undefeated record of 5-0, including four knockouts. 2019: Plant&#8217;s breakthrough came in January 2019, when he fought and defeated JosÃ© UzcÃ¡tegui to claim the IBF super middleweight title. His victory was a unanimous decision, showcasing his technical brilliance and solidifying his place among the elite. 2020: He successfully defended his IBF title against Vincent Feigenbutz in February 2020, with a tenth-round technical knockout. This was followed by another title defense against Caleb Truax in January 2021, where Plant dominated the match. 2021: On November 6, 2021, Plant faced Canelo Ãlvarez in a highly anticipated unification bout. Although he lost via 11th-round technical knockout, this fight marked his highest-profile match, earning him significant recognition and a massive payday. 2022-2023: Plant bounced back from his loss to Ãlvarez with a stunning knockout victory against Anthony Dirrell in October 2022. However, in March 2023, he suffered a unanimous decision loss to David Benavidez, marking another significant bout in his career.

Mike Tyson

Mike Tyson&#8217;s Net Worth 2024, Salary, Partner, Family, and More Who is Mike Tyson? Michael Gerard Tyson, widely known as Mike Tyson, is an American former professional boxer, often celebrated as one of the most fearsome fighters in heavyweight boxing history. Nicknamed &#8220;Iron Mike&#8221; for his raw power and aggressive style, Tyson dominated the boxing world in the 1980s and became the youngest heavyweight champion at the age of 20. His terrifying persona and unpredictable temperament led him to be known as &#8220;The Baddest Man on the Planet.&#8221; Tyson&#8217;s career, spanning from 1985 to 2005, is marked by both astonishing victories and deeply controversial moments, such as his infamous 1997 &#8220;Bite Fight&#8221; against Evander Holyfield. At the height of his boxing fame, he was one of the wealthiest athletes in the world.

Raised in a tough Brooklyn neighborhood, he encountered challenges that shaped his life both inside and outside the ring. Tyson’s explosive fighting style, grounded in his legendary “Peek-a-Boo” defense technique, made him an intimidating presence, often winning fights by knockout in the early rounds. Despite his achievements, his life has also been marked by legal issues, financial troubles, and personal struggles, making his story one of resilience, reinvention, and redemption. Mike Tyson’s Early Life Born on June 30, 1966, in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, New York, Mike Tyson&#8217;s early life was fraught with difficulties. His father, Purcell Tyson, abandoned the family when Mike was young, leaving his mother, Lorna Smith, to raise him and his two siblings, Rodney and Denise, on her own. Tyson’s early childhood was shaped by the challenges of growing up in a crime-heavy neighborhood, often witnessing violence and poverty. Frequent moves and financial instability left Tyson with a chaotic and troubled upbringing. By age ten, Tyson had moved with his family to Brownsville, Brooklyn, known as one of the most dangerous areas in New York City. Tyson&#8217;s aggressive streak became apparent early on, and he quickly earned a reputation as a fierce street fighter. By age 13, he had been arrested 38 times for petty crimes, many related to his involvement in local gangs. Tyson’s life took a positive turn when he was placed in the Tryon School for Boys, a juvenile detention center in Johnstown, New York. There, a counselor named Bobby Stewart, who was also an amateur boxing champion, noticed Tyson’s potential. Stewart introduced Tyson to legendary boxing trainer Cus D&#8217;Amato, who became a father figure to the young fighter and took him under his wing. D&#8217;Amato saw raw talent in Tyson and believed he had the potential to become the heavyweight champion of the world. The trainer&#8217;s guidance and discipline laid the foundation for Tyson’s future boxing career and eventual stardom. Image Credits &#8211; Cus D&#8217;Amato Boxing Club (Instagram) Mike Tyson’s Wife, Kids and Former Partners The 58-year-old has been married three times and is the father of seven children, including the late Exodus Tyson, who tragically passed away in 2009. His first marriage was to actress Robin Givens in 1988. The relationship quickly became troubled, with allegations of domestic abuse and erratic behavior leading to a highly publicized divorce in 1989. Givens described Tyson as volatile and abusive, and their split was covered extensively by the media, adding fuel to Tyson’s image as a controversial figure. Tyson’s second marriage was to pediatrician Monica Turner, whom he married in 1997. The couple had two children, Amir and Rayna, but divorced in 2003 due to Tyson’s infidelity. Despite the split, Turner has spoken positively about Tyson’s role as a father. In 2009, Tyson married Lakiha &#8220;Kiki&#8221; Spicer, and they have two children together, Morocco and Milan. Spicer has been a steady influence in Tyson’s life, helping him through personal and financial hardships. Press conference film Bunny-Man.

Turin, Italy 07 February 2024, PUBLICATIONxNOTxINxUKxFRAxUSA Copyright: xGiulioxLaponexSyncx/xAvalonx 0844275651 In addition to his marriages, Tyson has had relationships with several women, including Kimberly Scarborough, with whom he has a daughter named Mikey Lorna Tyson. His relationship with Sol Xochitl produced two children, Miguel Leon Tyson and Exodus Tyson. Tragically, Exodus passed away at the age of four in 2009 after a tragic accident involving a treadmill cord. This incident deeply affected Tyson, marking one of the most sorrowful moments in his life. Mike Tyson’s Net Worth 2024 As of 2024, Mike Tyson’s net worth is estimated at $10 million. Tyson’s earnings from boxing were once astronomical, reaching an estimated $400 million in total. During his peak, he was among the wealthiest athletes globally, raking in millions from fights and endorsements. However, extravagant spending, legal issues, and poor financial management led Tyson to declare bankruptcy in 2003. He reportedly owed nearly $23 million to various creditors, including the IRS, after years of high living and costly lawsuits. UNDATED: Mike Tyson holds two fists full of money and poses for cameras next to Don King during a press conference. (Photo by Focus on Sport/Gettty Images) Since then, Tyson has rebuilt his wealth through a mix of business ventures, endorsements, and public appearances. His 2020 exhibition match against Roy Jones Jr. drew significant pay-per-view sales, bringing in around $80 million. Tyson also launched his cannabis brand, Tyson 2.0, which has become one of his most lucrative ventures, generating roughly $900,000 monthly. This, combined with endorsements and his podcast Hotboxin&#8217; with Mike Tyson, has allowed him to stabilize his financial status and regain some of his wealth. Mike Tyson’s Career Timeline 1985: Mike Tyson’s professional career began on March 6, when he knocked out Hector Mercedes in the first round. Tyson went on to win his first 19 fights by knockout, 12 of them in the very first round, which quickly established his reputation as a fearsome contender. 1986: Tyson claimed his first title, the WBC heavyweight championship, on November 22, after defeating Trevor Berbick by TKO in the second round. This victory made him the youngest heavyweight champion in boxing history at the age of 20 years and 4 months. 1987: Tyson unified the heavyweight division, winning the WBA and IBF titles and becoming the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. He was widely regarded as the most formidable boxer of his era. 1988: Tyson successfully defended his titles against top fighters, including Larry Holmes and Tony Tubbs, reinforcing his position as the reigning champion.

Tyson&#8217;s defeat to Douglas remains one of the most shocking moments in boxing history. 1992-1995: Tyson was convicted of assaulting model Desiree Washington in 1992 and sentenced to six years in prison. He served three years before being released in 1995.  1996: Tyson reclaimed the WBC and WBA heavyweight titles in his comeback, defeating Frank Bruno and Bruce Seldon. Later that year, he faced Evander Holyfield, losing by TKO in the 11th round. 1997: Tyson’s rematch with Holyfield became infamous as the &#8220;Bite Fight.&#8221; Tyson was disqualified for biting Holyfield’s ear, resulting in the Nevada State Athletic Commission revoking his boxing license and fining him $3 million. 2002: On June 8 in Memphis, Tennessee, Mike Tyson fought Lennox Lewis in a heavyweight title bout that drew 1.95 million pay-per-view buys, ranking among the era&#8217;s highest-grossing events. Lewis leveraged his 84-inch reach and technical skill, dominating the match and knocking out Tyson in the eighth round to retain his WBC, IBF, and IBO titles. This marked Tyson’s final bid for a heavyweight title, solidifying Lewis&#8217;s legacy while concluding a significant chapter in Tyson&#8217;s career. 2005: After consecutive losses, Tyson retired from professional boxing. His last match was against Kevin McBride, where he retired in the sixth round. 2020: Tyson returned to the ring for an exhibition match against Roy Jones Jr. Despite ending in a draw, the match drew immense viewership, reflecting Tyson’s enduring popularity.

Organized and promoted by Jake Paul&#8217;s Most Valuable Promotions (MVP), the event will be broadcast live on Netflix, marking the platform’s entry into high-profile boxing broadcasts.

(Photo by Cooper Neill/Getty Images for Netflix) Mike Tyson’s Partnerships and Endorsements Over the years, Tyson has collaborated with several prominent brands, leveraging his fame and boxing legacy. In his early career, Tyson endorsed Pepsi, Nintendo, and Toyota. In recent years, Tyson has endorsed Black Energy Drink, CopperGel, and Smart Cups. He also has partnerships with Futurola, a company offering premium smoking accessories like pre-rolls and cones, and Zumiez, a fashion brand. Tyson’s influence expanded with his Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson podcast, where he interviews celebrities and athletes. His brand, Tyson Pro, offers performance athletic gear, while the MT Collection includes official Tyson merchandise. These partnerships underscore Tyson’s influence in various industries, from sportswear to lifestyle products. There is another partnership that Mike Tyson had. This was with legendary boxing promoter, Don King. Don King became involved with Tyson around the time Tyson became the undisputed heavyweight champion in 1987. Tyson was initially managed by Cus D&#8217;Amato and then later by Jim Jacobs and Bill Cayton. After the death of Jacobs in 1988, Don King moved in as a mentor and promoter, positioning himself as a father figure for Tyson. King saw an opportunity in Tyson&#8217;s rising stardom and quickly became his promoter. King promised Tyson greater control over his career and higher earnings. Tyson, drawn by King&#8217;s charismatic presence and promises, eventually parted ways with Cayton, putting his career in King’s hands. (Original Caption) Mike Tyson, Don King, and Mohammed Ali, all clasping hands wearing tuxedos in the boxing ring at the Las Vegas Hilton. During their partnership, King arranged some of the highest-grossing fights of Tyson’s career, including bouts against Frank Bruno and Evander Holyfield. Under King’s guidance, Tyson achieved extraordinary fame and wealth, with King reportedly taking a significant percentage of Tyson’s fight earnings. Despite this, Tyson trusted King during these peak years, relying on him as both a promoter and confidant. The relationship began to deteriorate in the early 1990s, especially after Tyson was convicted and imprisoned for assault in 1992. Upon his release in 1995, Tyson’s suspicions about King’s management practices grew. Tyson eventually accused King of exploiting him financially, alleging that King had taken millions from his earnings and engaged in unethical practices. In 1998, Tyson filed a $100 million lawsuit against King, claiming financial exploitation and breach of trust. The suit was settled out of court for a reported $14 million, but Tyson severed ties with King permanently, referring to him in later years as &#8220;ruthless&#8221; and &#8220;deceptive&#8221;. Mike Tyson’s Investments Mike Tyson&#8217;s most profitable investment is in the cannabis industry, where he launched Tyson 2.0, his cannabis brand. His unique product, “Mike Bites,” cannabis edibles shaped like an ear, references the infamous “Bite Fight” with Holyfield. Tyson 2.0 has proven to be financially successful, generating roughly $900,000 monthly. Today, the brand is worth more than $16 million. The brand expanded to include a line called “Holy Bites” in partnership with Evander Holyfield. Tyson 2.0 also partnered with Ric Flair’s “Ric Flair Drip” brand, increasing its market reach and appeal.

The technique, taught to him by Cus D’Amato, involved holding his gloves close to his face and constantly bobbing and weaving to evade opponents’ punches. This allowed Tyson to close in on his opponents and deliver devastating knockout punches, often ending fights early. Mike Tyson’s Charity and Foundation Mike Tyson has contributed to several charitable causes over the years, including his own Mike Tyson Cares Foundation, which provides support for at-risk youth. The foundation’s initiatives focus on healthcare, education, and housing, providing a safe environment for children from troubled backgrounds. Tyson has also participated in various events and made donations to support different causes, reflecting his desire to give back to the community despite his turbulent past. Mike Tyson’s House Mike Tyson currently resides in Henderson, Nevada, a suburban area near Las Vegas. His residence is considerably more modest than the luxurious mansions he owned during his prime. Tyson previously owned a mansion in Connecticut that included a nightclub, casino, and indoor pool, among other extravagant features. He also owned properties in Ohio, Maryland, and Nevada. Following his bankruptcy, Tyson sold many of these properties, including his Connecticut mansion, which was later purchased by rapper 50 Cent.
