Caleb Plant made a successful third defence of his IBF Super Middleweight title, as he dominated former champion Caleb Truax in a landslide points win in Los Angeles.
Plant won the title in January 2019 against Jose Uzcategui, and was last seen last February, halting Vincent Feigenbutz in ten.
Truax held the same belt in 2017, winning it and then losing it to James DeGale, and had scraped past the unknown David Basajjamivule last time out in January 2020.
Plant opened by investing plenty to the body of Truax, who made a ponderous beginning as he tried to work the champion out.

This Saturday night on FOX (8 pm ET), IBF super middleweight titlist Caleb Plant will defend his belt against former titleholder Caleb Truax in a 12-round main event.
This is a bigger fight than just the components of the matchup. We’ve got a clear favorite here for sure, and it’s another kinda lousy FOX main event, in all honesty, which they’ve made a regular thing at this point.
But Plant (20-0, 12 KO) is fighting to maintain his spot in line for
the fight in boxing, which is very possible for later this year. If Plant can win and retain his belt, he will stay headed toward a unification bout with Canelo Alvarez. Alvarez holds the WBC and WBA belts, and he wants all four. There’s already talk of him fighting Billy Joe Saunders, the WBO titleholder, in May.
