Caleb Plant

“Any time that a pro fights for his first world title, it's something that they've always dreamed of.”

“The middleweight division has plenty of talent.”

“For all fighters, you haven't faced anyone until you've faced somebody.”

“Boxing is an imitation of life. You get knocked down and you get back up. You don't quit no matter how dark it gets, or whatever adversity passes your way. You just got to keep biting down and fighting, coming up the other side and not quitting, no matter what.”

“I want Caleb Truax. He was calling me out when I was 12-0.”

“I can't focus on what other people say about me.”

“The oddsmakers can have me as an underdog. I've been an underdog my whole life, and I've been proving them wrong my whole life. Those are just numbers.”

“Where I'm from, there's really not a whole lot going on... Because everyone is in the same situation, no one really sees it as an issue. I just knew it was a big world out there, and I wanted to experience it.”

“Champions, no matter what's going on in their life or even in the gym, at the end of the day when it's time to do what they do best, they go in there and they block all that out. They block out all the noise, they block out all the ups and downs,and they do the job. And that's what I'm best at.”

“Vincent Feigenbutz is a very tough, rugged European fighter.”

“Everybody knows I want that unification fight with David Benavidez.”

“I feel like I'm the best super middleweight in the world.”

“I don't want to get beat - in life, in anything. I'm a very prideful person. My will to win has been with me forever.”

“I believed in myself and now I've been crowned king.”

“At a high level there's always gonna be noise and rumors, whether it's fake stories or real ones. You've got to be able to block that out and zone in and focus on the task at hand.”

“I've always been the person that, when it's time to step to the plate under a big situation, that's when I perform my best.”

“Something that I wanted to do since I was a kid, bring a world title to the Bridgestone successfully.”

“Boxing has always been like a sanctuary for me. It's been a place that I could go and be somebody.”

“This is not just a job. Boxing is my whole life.”

“I'm a blessed man, I've had many blessings in my life. But I've had many trials as well and those trials have made me have to dig deep.”
