A biography for Caleb Planthasn’t been written yet.
“Boxing has been around for a while and there's a lot of great examples of what to do and what not to do. You can look at those examples and learn from other people's mistakes without having to go through it the hard way.”
“I feel like I'm a conqueror. That's what I do. I conquer things.”
“There have been a lot of guys in my position. A guy who doesn't have a big name on his record and they step up and face the guy.”
“I think in those moments of being in that deep water, it's have you been in that deep water?”
“I've been the underdog before. It's a place I like to be.”
“I've got a chip on my shoulder, but that's something I've carried with me my whole life.”
“Just like many great boxers before me, regardless of where they're from, they're not always starting out with the nicest stuff. You don't need the latest stuff to get where you're heading - all you need is focus and drive.”
“My team has done a great job putting me in a position to be at my best on fight night.”
“Some people say pain is a fuel for greatness and if that's true, then my tank will forever be full.”
“There have been some guys who lost before the bell even rang against Canelo.”
“I just want to win in front of my hometown and win in spectacular fashion. I've gotten to perform in many other venues in other states, but it's going to be a special moment to be able to do that in front of everyone who has known me for the longest.”
“I like people rooting against me. It gives me extra motivation, but when you're fighting for undisputed status, you don't need much more motivation than that.”
“People don't realize the impact they have on your life.”
“The only thing better than proving someone right, is proving somebody wrong.”
“I love where I'm from, but it's a tough, poverty-stricken area.”
“I wasn't happy with what was going on around me, even when I was only 9 years old. I wasn't happy with the economic situation we were in.”
“When I get to go to the gym or go to the fight or sparring or training, it's like a sanctuary.”
“Everyone who knows me knows how serious I take my training, they know how disciplined I am, they know how much I respect this sport and how much work I put into this sport.”
“Some fighters are better when there's no one in the crowd, and some fighters are best when they're under the gun and the whole world is watching.”
“I've been told my whole life what I can and can't be and what I can and can't achieve.”
