Caleb Plant and Anthony Dirrell will fight in the professional welterweight boxing tournament on October 16. The fight is scheduled to start at 04:00 UK time.
The bookies give their preference to Caleb Plant in this fight. Because of his younger age and his last decent performance against “Canelo,” Plante is considered the favourite. However, Dirrell is quite an experienced boxer, and it is very wrong to have so little faith in him. Of course, Caleb still has a better chance, but Anthony will definitely be looking to finish his opponent. Each of them will only be satisfied with an early victory. Because of that, this fight may not make it to the championship rounds.
Caleb Plant, former IBF light-middleweight champion, lost his title in his last fight against Canelo, whom he lost by TKO in the 11th round.
It should be noted that it was his first loss, but before that, the 30-years-old American had 21 fights under his belt. Nevertheless, Plant is determined to get back in the fight.
Caleb will definitely have to be number one in this fight because he needs this win to get his next title shot. And the American only needs to win before the fight is over to get the promotion’s attention.
Previously, Anthony owned the WBC welterweight belt. Dirrell lost the title after a knockout loss to David Benavides. It’s worth noting that Anthony is seven years older than his opponent, he’s now 37 years old. He will probably be inferior to his younger opponent in terms of cardio.
Dirrell comes into this meeting after an early win over Marcos Hernandez. Because of his age, Dirrell can act second, waiting out his chance for the knockout.
The possibility of a lucky punch has never been ruled out, and this boxer has a pretty strong punch. Obviously, Plant must be wary of Dirrell’s punches.
