Minutes after effectively guarding his International Boxing Federation super middleweight title for the subsequent time, Nashville's Caleb Plant made it understood Saturday who he needs to battle straightaway — David Benavidez, the present World Boxing Council super middleweight undefeated victor.
The 27-year-old Plant (20-0, 12 KOs) held the IBF title by asserting a tenth round TKO against required challenger Vincent Feigenbutz (31-3, 28 KOs) of Germany at Bridgestone Arena.
Plant has made it understood he will likely bring together the title and that is the reason he got out Benavidez (22-0, 19 KOs) of Phoenix. Indeed, Plant said he initially let Benavidez realize he needed a battle when Benavidez won the title two years back from Monday.
"I need to bring together; I need that battle with David Benavidez," Plant said. "At the point when he won that world title against Ronald Gavril (Feb. 17, 2018) I was remaining at the base of the stairs. Before he could even find a good pace of the stairs I was remaining there asking him, 'When are we going to get this going?' I don't see such a large number of different contenders remaining at the base of the stairs directly after someone wins saying, 'Hello, when are we going to make it split?"
Benavidez has a compulsory resistance coming up in the spring against Avni Yildirim. Plant said he would like to battle in any event again this year.
Plant acknowledges it might be too early for a battle to meet up with Benavidez, however said he will keep on pushing for it.
