Benavidez and Plant ready to dig deep

Undefeated interim WBC super middleweight champion, David Benavidez, and former champion Caleb Plant, held a public training session open to the media.

They good and ready for the fight on Saturday, March 25 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, Las Vegas, Nevada.

Benavidez went through his media training at his gym in the Seattle area, while Plant showed off his skills in Las Vegas.

David Benavidez:

“Some people don’t understand that I’m the most accurate puncher in this weight class. I’ve had 23 knockouts in 26 fights. I’ve hurt every man I’ve ever been in the ring with, and Caleb Plant will be no different.

“You can see that every time Caleb is in the ring with a power puncher, he doesn’t feel comfortable. He beat José Uzcátegui, but he got hurt in the fight and then Canelo hurt him. Even Anthony Dirrell hit him with some good shots.

“I have the power and I feel like I’m faster. I just must get my feet in the right position, because he’s going to be moving around a lot. I think he has a little more confidence after beating Dirrell though, so we’ll see if he wants to trade blows with me.

“Every time he walks into this gym I give it my all. I have a great team here with me. Everyone has done their part and made me feel comfortable.”

Caleb Plant:

“The key to this fight is to be myself. That’s what makes me raise my hand. I’m hungry for this. This is a great moment and I have worked a long time to get here. I’m going to make the most of it.

“I feel very good. I am cool, calm, and collected. I’m focused and I’ve had a great camp. We are going into this fight 100%. I can only speak for my team, but we are ready to win.

“If Benavidez wants to run, then he should run his business as he sees fit. That’s what I’m going to do on March 25. Let’s go in there, roll the dice and see what happens.

“My power has always been there, but I have gone back more to my roots. This is one of the biggest fights that can be done in boxing, and I am ready to show my quality.

“I would love to correct a mistake and get a rematch with Canelo Alvarez, but right now I’m just focused on Benavidez.”

The fight is organized by Premier Boxing Champions and will be broadcast on Showtime PPV.
