Plant (17-0, 10 KOs) is originally from Nashville, Tennessee
but now lives and trains in Las Vegas. Here is what he said
about his first world title opportunity and more from
training camp with trainer Justin Gamber at City Boxing Las
Vegas.
On his recent training camp:
"This training camp has been great. We took everything to
the next level as I do every camp. We stepped up everything
for this camp, the sparring partners, the strength and
conditioning, all of the training is on another level. I'll
be at my best come fight night and I can't wait."
On his matchup with Jose Uzcategui:
"Everyone says Jose Uzcategui is the bogeyman, but after
January 13th, I don't want no excuses. He is a top fighter
in the division, but I will take that spot after I take his
title from him. All I can tell him is be ready."
On fighting for his first world title:
"This has been a lifelong dream of mine to be fighting for a
world title and now that time has finally come. I'll be
fighting for my daughter Alia, may she rest in peace. The
trials and tribulations I've gone through to get to this
point have been overwhelming at times, but they've only made
me stronger. I've worked hard for this defining moment in my
boxing career and I'm going to rise to the occasion, and
everyone will hear the words...And The New!"
On fighting on FS1 and FOX Deportes during the NFL Playoffs

"It's going to be a big weekend for sports with the NFC
playoffs going down on FOX, but the night is going to be
capped off with a great world championship fight. You have
two warriors who will be putting everything on the line for
super middleweight supremacy. Fans of all sports who will be
watching are going to see a man in myself who is hungry and
dangerous. I will be crowned champion!"
