Caleb Plant says that he goes to his opponent, Jose Armando Resendiz, that there are “levels” when they meet in a 12-round headlinier in Super Middle Wweight on Saturday, May 31, at Michelob Ultra Arena in Las Vegas.

This is Another melody Fight for the former IBF 168-LB factory (23-2, 14 KO). So he is expected to be much better than his opponent, RESSENDIZ. The Saturday event will be displayed on PBC on the best film starting at 20:00 ET.

It is not clear why the RESENDZ (15-2, 11 KO) was chosen because he fights in medium weight, not in 168. The idea is of course to assure you that the plant will not be beaten, because it is a presentation of interest in the potential fight between it and Jermall Charlo Next. They both try to fight Canelo Alvarez.

“This is one of the best versions of myself. I had an infernal training camp and the whole experience I have, it will show,” said Caleb Reslot To The media Today. “Skills and if you check my last fight [Trevor McCumby]I also have a great internal game, “said Plant on What Store for Armando Resendiz.

Inactivity and ambitions of the plant

What we saw from the Reslap against McCumbby in his last fight is not the “best version” of what once was in 2021 and earlier. He lost something of the game from inactivity, and the punishment he experienced against Canelo Alvarez and David Benavidez. In addition, the plant is inactive for a long time since it receives a great payment against Canelo. He made many millions of this fight and did not show the same ambitions as it used to be He hit him affluent.

“If he wants it, I will show him that there are levels. It seems to me that there are many great fights there. Jermall Fight, Munguia, Berlanga, Paczeco, Sheeraz and Mbilli. All these fights are great for me. Each of them could fight with each other and it would not be such a large fight for none of them if he fought me – said Plant.

It is good to hear the plant boldly talks about its opponent to tun. But would he do the same if he fought with one of the killers in the 168-Funt division, like Christian Mbilli, Edgar Berlanga or Hamzah Sheeraz? He chose RESENDIS, which is an average weight. He could choose someone from the 168 pounds division, but he chose a warrior who was recently beaten 160 pounds in the division.

Disadvantages of “Complete Fighter” plants

“I am a complete warrior, inside, outside and on medium range. At the moment it is on the back burner for me. I am simply focused on Saturday. I can only fight for one fight at once. This fight did not happen, unless I raise my hand in it,” Plant said when asked about the fight between him and Jermall Charlo. “I am closed on it right now.”

I would not call the caleb “Complete Fighter” because he is not striking and has problems with endurance. He ran out of gas in the fighting with David Benavidez, Canelo Alvarez and Jose Uzcatelui. To be a complete warrior, you need power and endurance. There is a lack of plant in both of these areas.

“I put everything else on the back burner, and then, when I raise my hand, on May 31, we will have a lot of time to talk about it. I can think about it all, but now I’m just focused,” said Plant.

Caleb discusses the potential fight with Jermall Charlo, who can occur next if both warriors win. He believes that defeating the inactive 35-year-old Jermall will open the door to a rematch against Canelo Alvarez. Jermall fought only once in the last four years since 2021 and looked terrible in his previous fight, leaving the 2.5-year release in 2023. He is a guy that the plant wants. This is a fight at the business level.

WBC welterweight champion Ryan Garcia used Kick’s live feed to identify Conor Benn as his next opponent, informing viewers that the fight was headed to Las Vegas. Garcia shared his comments while streaming with rapper 6ix9ine, and the clip spread widely on social media over the next few hours.

“It will be in August,” Garcia said during the broadcast, per Yahoo Sports. “We’ll have it in Vegas. His name is Conor Benn, from the UK. We’ll swallow it. Conor’s about to get kicked out.”

Garcia’s broadcast announcement initially pointed to an August date in Las Vegas. Promoter Eddie Hearn has since indicated that a September 12 Netflix premiere for the series is under discussion if other dates are not set. “Netflix is ​​only going to do a certain number of fights and the talk is that the Benn-Garcia fight will now take place on September 12 or whenever that happens,” Hearn said in comments reported by Boxing 247.

The date of September 12 would mean a collision with another party event on the same evening. Turki Alalshikh confirmed on Friday that Canelo Álvarez will face WBC super middleweight champion Christian Mbilli on September 12 in Riyad.

Where the fight is

Garcia (27-1, 22 KO) holds the WBC welterweight title after winning a unanimous decision over Mario Barrios in February. Benn (25-1, 14 KO) is the mandatory challenger for the WBC 147-pound title and most recently defeated Regis Prograis by unanimous decision on April 11 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, fighting at the 150-pound catchweight in his Zuffa Boxing debut.

After his victory over Prograis, Benn made a direct call for a title fight. “Garcia, I want my belt. I want my belt. Keep my belt sultry. September, let’s go,” Benn said in the video reported by ESPN. On May 7, the Briton sent a second video message addressed to Garcia.

The fight faces promotional hurdles. Benn left Matchroom earlier this year to sign with Zuffa Boxing under Dana White. Garcia remains affiliated with Golden Boy Promotions and Oscar De La Hoya. How Social boxing As noted, friction between White and De La Hoya is well-established.

History of drug testing

Both players served suspensions due to unfavorable drug test results. Benn’s case was resolved in November 2024 when the UK National Anti-Doping Panel lifted his provisional suspension. Garcia served a one-year suspension after testing positive for ostarine in connection with his April 2024 fight with Devin Haney.

Which has been confirmed

Garcia’s comments on the stream do not constitute a signed contract, and no joint statement has been released by Golden Boy Promotions or Zuffa Boxing. The press conference, broadcast deal, location and terms of the deal have not yet been confirmed. Reports from Sky Sports and DAZN characterize negotiations as ongoing.

Anthony Joshua Oleksandr Usyk 3 Talk defies boxing tradition

Image: No More Second Chances: Joshua Must Win Next Fight or Face Immediate Retirement

Just a few years ago, opening the door to the third fight between Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk seemed unrealistic. Now it seems possible, even after two defeats and the friendship that has developed between the pair outside the ring.

That shift became more pronounced this week when promoter Eddie Hearn admitted Joshua would still “love” another chance to fight Usyk, despite losing twice to the Ukrainian southerner in 2021 and 2022. Historically, a heavyweight rivalry rarely continues after one fighter wins his first two fights cleanly. Boxing usually goes further. This situation seems to be heading in the opposite direction.


Joshua (29-4, 26 KO) has spent recent years rebuilding his career and public standing after successive defeats to Usyk. During this time, the relationship between the two heavyweights changed completely. They trained together, appeared publicly comfortable in each other’s company and shed the bitterness that often accompanies major heavyweight rivalries.

This, among other things, is what makes Hearn’s comments extraordinary.

“I don’t think so,” Hearn said this week when asked whether Joshua’s friendship with Usyk would stop another fight. “But boxing is a humorous venerable game. Part of AJ always wants to fight Usyk because he has been beaten twice. Same with Fury. They are competitors. They want to try to fight him again.”

The heavyweight division began to operate under different rules during the Saudi era. Awareness and commercial value now carry almost as much weight as unfinished competitive business. Tyson Fury is also openly seeking a third fight with Usyk, even though he has lost twice.

In previous eras, a fighter who lost two title fights in a row to the same opponent would usually end the chapter. Joshua-Usyk III would completely reverse this logic. Instead of competitive tension driving demand, it would be legacy and personal redemption.

Joshua still has something to work on before the discussion becomes stern. He returns in July against Kristian Prengi before an expected showdown with Fury later this year. Hearn made it clear that the immediate focus would be on these two fights.

“His ultimate goal is to win the heavyweight championship of the world again,” Hearn said. “I want to beat Tyson Fury and win the world heavyweight championship again.”

However, the idea is still hanging. Not long ago, the sight of Joshua running alongside Usyk on the beach would have seemed impossible. Now there’s a possibility that two fighters who became training partners after a one-sided rivalry will end up sharing the ring for a third time anyway.

David Benavidez called out for the fight he wants most: “Someone has to shut his mouth”

David Benavidez’s future may soon be decided after being called up for the fight he wants.

Earlier this month, Benavidez confirmed his status as one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world when he successfully moved up to cruiserweight and stopped Gilberto Ramirez in six rounds win the WBA and WBO 200-pound titles.

Since that victory, a number of options have emerged for the “Mexican Monster,” including another cruiserweight clash with Jai Opetaia and even an ambitious move up to heavyweight to face unified champion Oleksandr Usyk.

The most likely scenario is a return to the 175-pound division, where he holds the WBC title, for an undisputed fight against WBA, WBO and IBF airy heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol, and Benavidez himself has stated that the Russian is number one on his hit list.

This fight can now become a reality, after the IBA fast revealed that Bivola’s coach Gennadi Mashyanov wants his player to face Benavidez to “shut his mouth.”

“My personal target right now is Benavidez – who, let’s say, talks a lot. We’ll see what he’s really capable of. I’d like him to stop talking. For that to happen, someone has to get in the ring with him and shut him up for good.”

Bivol returns to action tardy next week when he faces mandatory challenger Michael Eifert, and it appears that a victory in that match could now pave the way for an undisputed showdown with Benavidez.
