David Benavidez vs Caleb Plant Rivalry: How Did the Rivalry Between the Two Start?
David Benavidez vs Caleb Plant rivalry
Benavidez and Plant have been at loggerheads with each other for some time now. The two have constantly engaged in verbal battles in interviews and on social media. So how did all of this start for two of the best super-middleweights in the world?
It all started in 2018 when David Benavidez and his brother Jose Benavidez approached Plant and his trainer in the gym. According to Benavidez, the two confronted Plant for talking trash about them on social media, especially Benavidez.
Things then got heated between the two parties. Several discussions followed, with threats and swears. After a few minutes of talking, Jose Benavidez pushed Plant. The 30-year-old initially reacted calmly. However, he waited for his moment and landed a left hook on Benavidez.
A massive scuffle then broke out in the gym, with Benavidez’s people beating up Plant’s coach, while Plant approached David Benavidez. Ultimately, the fight fizzled out and the two have never made peace ever since.
Will David Benavidez and Caleb Plant squash their beef?
After the scuffle, the trash-talking only got worse. Since then, in every interview or public appearance the two made, they did not hold back when asked about each other. In addition, Plant and Benavidez continued to go at each other on social media.
Therefore, when they finally agreed to a deal, it was an exciting fight for fans. However, it also provides them an opportunity to bury their differences once and for all. We saw Plant doing the same with Canelo Alvarez after their bout.
However, we also know how Plant did not let Anthony Dirrell off the hook after Plant knocked him out last year. Dirrell also spoke a lot of trash about Plant before the fight. So it could really go either way. One thing we are sure of is that the Benavidez vs Plant will be an exciting fight.
