The hotly anticipated fight between David Benavidez and Caleb Plant will be the main event of the Showtime pay-per-view extravaganza. The long-standing animosity between the two fighters will finally come to a head at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on March 25th.
This high-stakes showdown is expected to be an explosive and intense battle, as both boxers will be vying for the chance to prove their dominance and come out on top. They simultaneously boast impressive records and skills in the ring and have a point to prove.
Benavidez, who is only 26 years old, currently holds the WBC interim super-middleweight title and boasts an impressive undefeated record of 26 wins, 23 of which were by knockout. Meanwhile, Caleb Plant is No.1-ranked by both WBC and WBA, as well as No.2-ranked by WBO and No.3-ranked by IBF.
In what promises to be a thrilling and closely contested matchup, David Benavidez and Caleb Plant, both former super-middleweight champions, will face off in a bid to regain their title. 'Sweet Hands' only loss came at the hands of boxing superstar Canelo Alvarez in 2021. Plant was previously a champion himself but lost his title in his only defeat two years ago.
Benavidez, on the other hand, has had a tumultuous journey, having been stripped of his title in 2018 for testing positive for cocaine. Although he won it back, he lost it again in 2020 after failing to make weight in a fight against Roamer Alexis Angelo.
With a title shot at stake, both fighters will be giving it their all in this make-or-break matchup as they strive to regain their championship belt and solidify their place among the top super-middleweights in the world.
