Caleb Plant, the former IBF super middleweight champion, is getting ready for a big fight this Saturday in Las Vegas. He'll face Jose Armando Resendiz in a match that could make a big difference to his career and bank account.
Plant's had quite a journey in boxing. He started strong as an amateur, winning the National Golden Gloves Championship in 2011. When he turned pro in 2014, he knocked out Travis Davidson in his first fight. But his big break came in January 2019 when he beat José Uzcátegui to win the IBF super middleweight world title at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. That fight earned him $150,000.
The biggest payday of Plant's career came in November 2021 when he fought Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez. Even though he lost his IBF belt in that fight, he walked away with a cool $10 million. That's a lot more than most fighters see in their whole careers.
Right now, Plant's net worth is estimated to be between $3 million and $5 million, according to TUKO and Essentially Sports. Most of that money comes from his fights, but he's also got some other ways of making cash. He's got endorsement deals with companies like SNAC Nutrition, Avianne Jewelry, and Shoe Palace. Plus, he's got his own clothing line and merchandise that he sells on his website.
Plant's story started in Ashland City, Tennessee, where he was born on July 8, 1992. Now, at 31 years old, he's facing a crucial moment in his career. The fight against Resendiz isn't just about winning or losing - it's about where Plant goes from here.
If Plant wins on Saturday, he could set himself up for more big fights and bigger paydays. But if he loses, it might be harder for him to get back to the top of the boxing world. Either way, a lot of eyes will be on Las Vegas this weekend to see what happens.
