0:08
get this young man on our show since we
0:11

0:13
chance to meet him back in Vegas one
0:15
time with ar and Barack they were doing
0:17

Barack was like yeah I was like I like
0:29
that dude I really like that dude and he
0:31
came and sat with us and this is way
0:34
before there was any idea you were going
0:35
to fight Canelo Alvarez and I've been
0:38
watching you ever since s citizens I
0:40
want to say this is the quintessential
0:42
boxers boxer if a boxer told you to
0:46
watch Boxing where you could learn it
0:48
they'll probably point you out to a
0:50
fight that he's had I watched this man
0:52
face so many different type of styles of
0:55
boxers in the ring has faced so much
0:58
adversity and watched him a just into
1:01
Victory and even in the two fights that
1:03
we saw he wasn't he wasn't Victorious
1:05
and according to the judges or uh the
1:08
outcome even in those fights I felt like
1:12
he won a battle when he fought Canelo
1:14
Everest when he fought Benitas I still
1:17
felt like he won a battle he gave
1:19
Benitas his best fight to date would you
1:21
agree horse I do agree all right Canelo
1:24
Alvarez he gave him a great fight up
1:25
until the point where it ended would you
1:27
agree horse we'll talk about that in a
1:30
minute okay cool we'll do that man all
1:32
right but we just saw him fight Trevor m
1:35
mcbi and come out successful to a up and
1:38
rising star that had a lot of strength
1:40
and has a very unorthodox style but
1:42
Caleb plant showed us that there's
1:44
levels to this boxing science I want to
1:47
welcome him to the show give it up for
1:48
the one and only Caleb plant ladies and
1:50
gentlemen Caleb
1:51

2:00
early morning moving around I ain't

early dog it's 11:30 you be jogging at
2:04
5:00 a.m. man I'm from the West Coast so
2:06

2:09
4 in the morning that's true good point
2:11
but you're from Tennessee yeah I'm from
2:14
um about 30 minutes outside of uh
2:16
downtown Nashville it's like way out in
2:18
the country way out in the woods see I
2:20
find that interesting cuz I I didn't I
2:22
didn't know your backstory and I always
2:23
wonder what makes a a person's fortitude
2:26
you know where did they get this from
2:28
and you you got a certain way about how
2:30
you handle yourself in adversity that I
2:32
wonder what was his upbringing so you
2:34
grew up in the country yeah like the
2:36
woods way out in the woods yeah yeah I'm
2:39
a country boy yeah hence the t-shirt
2:41
ladies and gentlemen you got to be a
2:43
country boy you me right now yeah so did
2:45
you grow up catching animals or um I've
2:48
been I've been hunting yeah I've been
2:50
hunting um but mostly I was in the gym
2:53
mostly in the gym yeah mostly in the gym
2:56
um my my daddy he was a fighter okay and
2:58
so you know naturally want opened the
3:00
door for me and me being a little boy at
3:02
the time want to be like his dad uh he
3:04
got together with my granddaddy and um
3:06
got a little money together opened up a
3:08
small gym M and uh it didn't even have
3:11
any mats on the floor it was like a tile
3:13
floor and we put tape in the shape of a
3:15
square on the floor and when we would
3:17
Spar we would like stand around it and
3:18
hold hands so people wouldn't like go
3:20
through the wall and people would slip
3:22
and fall and we had like one heavy bag
3:25
in the corner you couldn't even work all
3:26
the way around and but you know when you
3:29
want something the bad enough you know
3:30
you don't really have to have like the
3:31
the nicest newest latest equipment you
3:34
know uhhuh but um yeah quite a journey
3:37
that was the Dream from day one then oh
3:39
yeah since I was 9 years old that's like
3:41
all I wanted to be was a fighter like I
3:43
didn't want to be the president or
3:45
astronaut or anything like to be a
3:47
teacher no lawyer none of no I want to
3:49
be a fighter since you were nine yeah
3:52
yeah I was like man I want to be I'm
3:53
going to be a world champion one day and
3:55
um I started off kickboxing actually and
3:58
I started boxing just to help my hands
3:59
and I would do like both simultaneously
4:02
like one weekend my dad would drive me
4:03
to Atlanta uh we would drive to Chicago
4:06
Virginia Beach drove all the way to
4:08
Colorado Springs and um just keeping me
4:11
busy and then when I got 17 I was like
4:14
man I don't want to I just want to box
4:15
and plus there's no money and kickboxing
4:17
yeah and that's all I want to do so just
4:20
went to my USA national tournament in
4:23
Colorado Springs the Olympic Training
4:24
Center and took third made Team USA and
4:27
just you know trying to run it up ever
4:29
since I love that man see I didn't even
4:31
know you was a kickboxer what what's
4:32
your record like 16 and8 or something
4:34
like that or uh no it was better than
4:37
that okay I'm sorry Caleb I don't know I
4:38
missed information was no but uh I have
4:40
five World titles and non national
4:42
titles in kickboxing and fought in Italy
4:45
with Team USA and Trinidad and some
4:48
other places did you try any other
4:50
sports like basketball football football
4:52
yeah I played football from the age of
4:54
seven to um the summer practice before
4:57
my freshman year and I liked football
4:59
too but my dad was like you need to pick
5:01
one cuz high school ball is kind of
5:03
demanding and I didn't want to go to
5:06
college I just wanted to fight that was
5:08
it honest I've always wondered um for
5:10
those who get into boxing very very
5:13
young if as a child you were able to
5:16
understand like kind of compartmentalize
5:18
all right I'm fighting in the Ring
5:20
versus like okay I want to pick some
5:22
dudes at school that I want to practice
5:24
on yeah I mean I never really have been
5:27
much of a bully you know like even as a
5:29
kid mhm really more
5:32
um maybe quiet and reserved maybe
5:34
outside of box some more so I've only
5:37
ever got I've gotten into a handful or
5:39
more but only if you know people were
5:43
pressing me or looking for trouble you
5:45
got yeah you got to take up for yourself
5:46
you know so uh yeah never really went at
5:49
anybody trying to put hands on them so
5:51
mhm so was you ever bullied that's what
5:54
that's make you started doing that's not
5:56
what I started like I said my dad was a
5:57
fighter and okay um but you know I'm
6:01
sure a lot of us have people tried to
6:02
get at us before you know especially in
6:04
Middle School of course you know
6:06
elementary school stuff like that no
6:08
nothing too crazy though that's a good
6:10
skill set to have in your back pocket
6:11
though grown up yeah once I got to
6:13
Middle School all that all that stopped
6:15
so how hard was it how hard was it to go
6:17
from kickboxing just to go with boxing
6:18
without using your legs and everything
6:20
how hard was that for you uh it was easy
6:22
yeah I never felt like I was about to
6:24
kick somebody in boxing or nothing like
6:25
that so it was always easy to
6:27
compartmentalize and go from rule set to
6:30
rule set okay I like this man Caleb
6:33
plant we getting to know who this guy is
6:35
cuz you might not know him unless you
6:37
see him in the ring if you see him
6:38
outside of the Ring he might be throwing
6:40
you know throwing soda on another box or
6:43
he might smack another Boxer so I always
6:46
wanted to know how does Caleb plant get
6:49
to that point because I don't think
6:50
you're the type that's going to slap a
6:52
Charlo or throw water at another Boxer
6:55
or whatever unless it was provoked yeah
6:57
no I'm not going to go to that point
6:59
that's like something you get led to you
7:01
know and um there been a couple
7:04
incidents but people just um you know
7:07
not knowing how to act you know and uh
7:10
certain things you can't tolerate and
7:13
somebody messing with your family you
7:15
know if they're talking about your
7:16
children if they're messing with your
7:18
family or if they're putting you know
7:20
trying to put hands on you or touch you
7:21
or disrespect you you know to a certain
7:23
level you know that just can't be
7:25
tolerated and um boxing is a grown man
7:27
sport so if you're going to be in it you
7:28
got to act like a grown man so
7:34
okay clap that [ __ ] up box is a grown
7:37
man sport uh Caleb plan here horse go
7:39
ahead man you're sitting up here calm
7:42
and Collective but it seemed like every
7:44
fighter that you fought for the last
7:45
four fight seem to have a personal
7:46
problem with you outside the ring like
7:48
it seemed like a a grudge match like
7:50
these are the fights that you want to
7:51
see like even with Canelo when you had a
7:52
fight with Canelo I never seen Canelo
7:54
get out of his element like y had a face
7:56
off and he came and swung on you I was
7:57
like wow what was that about I seen
7:59
Charlo y'all had something outside the
8:01
ring and last time I just seen uh
8:04
actually I seen Andre derell y'all had a
8:06
beef outside the ring Anthony d y had a
8:08
beef outside the ring and then latest I
8:10
just seen with uh uh Canelo and balinga
8:13
he was on the stage supposed to
8:14
promoting a fight and he's arguing with
8:16
you saying he want you this that the
8:17
third where do that come from I don't
8:19
know um I feel like I've gotten a lot of
8:21
that throughout my boxing career even as
8:24
an amateur you know if you could take a
8:26
guess
8:28
why but it's just part of it you know
8:30
it's given me plenty of fuel and
8:32
motivation to you know what what do they
8:35
say the only thing better than proving
8:36
somebody right is proving somebody wrong
8:38
so absolutely damn another gy just
8:41
dropped another gym right there Caleb
8:43
planet's here man um you had a very
8:47
incredible fight against Trevor mumi um
8:50
I say that because we saw a masterful
8:52
display of boxing science in my opinion
8:55
that's what I was seeing I watch you
8:56
adjust to somebody who seemed really
8:58
irky jerky a lot of people didn't know
9:00
who he was undefeated fighter I they had
9:02
a bunch of first round Knockouts and you
9:05
really schooled him can you walk us
9:07
through that fight what did you see at
9:08
one was there ever a point you felt like
9:11
I don't get this
9:12
guy um I wouldn't say he he was like
9:15
erratic and kind of you know hectic not
9:18
really conventional kind of like a wild
9:20
man bull rushing me and um so I fell a
9:23
couple times like with him bull rushing
9:25
into me he did catch me like with a good
9:27
shot at the end of the second round yeah
9:29
um you felt that yeah yeah and uh but it
9:33
was right at the bell and then in the
9:34
fourth round he hit me in my shoulder
9:35
and I fell as he was Bull rushing me and
9:37
the ref called it a knockdown as a count
9:40
and you know ain't no sense in arguing
9:41
with the ref either the judges will see
9:43
that it was a knockdown and put it as
9:46
that or they'll watch the replay and see
9:47
that it wasn't and you know it's there's
9:50
no point in getting worked up and to
9:51
stay calm and cool you know so that's
9:53
what I did and I
9:55
realized with his uh unconventional
9:57
style that it'd be better to be on the
9:59
inside with them and be in the pocket
10:01
you know breaking them down down that
10:02
way because like I was explaining to
10:04
before we got on you know would you
10:05
rather be you know fouret away from a
10:08
baseball bat or you know one foot away
10:10
from a baseball bat that way you can you
10:12
know you're not on the end of it and so
10:14
just switch it up that's that's why it
10:16
pays to you know be a well-rounded
10:18
fighter and you know not just be able to
10:20
stick and moveing box but you know be
10:21
able to sit in the pocket and you know
10:23
break somebody down that way too I think
10:25
we show that so yeah Caleb Plant Man
10:27
them isms man we going to go plant book
10:30
with just gems you drop man I say this
10:32
time would you rather be on the tail end
10:35
of a bat or the front end of a bat you
10:36
know that was you know you you dropping
10:38
gems Caleb come on man listen up what
10:40
how do you think you fought Canelo
10:41
Alvarez and then we and then we watched
10:44
banga Edgar banga fight Canelo Alvarez
10:47
how do you think his performance was
10:49
Edgar how do you think he did how do you
10:52
think he did I was honestly yeah I was
10:56
surprised that he went the distance yeah
11:00
um I like that when he got knocked down
11:03
he got back up and wanted to fight I
11:06
didn't I didn't think he would win the
11:08
fight going into it at all but I was
11:10
surprised I was fairly surprised yeah
11:13
yeah yeah that's how I thought made it
11:15
through I felt honestly that the match
11:18
was uneven yeah and that Canelo had way
11:22
too much experience and you know he's
11:25
Canelo for uh
11:26
banga and I didn't know what uh the
11:29
outcome would be but I saw him you know
11:33
you know trying to hang in there that's
11:35
my thoughts what are your thoughts what
11:37
about you man uh my thoughts yo this
11:40
setup is crazy honestly my thoughts I
11:42
thought that um I actually pic I
11:44
actually picked belinga to beat him
11:45
because I thought that they would be
11:46
exchanging all right that's all the time
11:47
we have for this I pick M to beat him
11:50
though honestly I gotta be honest with
11:52
you though Caleb I picked him the I
11:54
picked him to beat him man next question
11:56
next question what do you how you think
11:57
he did I mean you know you know if we're
12:00
giving pats on the back for you know
12:01
making him through a fight and just
12:03
surviving then you
12:06
know
12:10
but I
12:11
mean when you talk a big game you know
12:14
it one one thing it sometimes it's not
12:16
if you lose but how you lose you know
12:18
and he didn't win a around you know what
12:21
I mean and he did talk a big game and I
12:23
talked a big game and lost too and not
12:25
to compare who lost better who lost less
12:27
cuz you know that's silly but like M I
12:29
would rather really put myself out there
12:33
win a couple rounds and if I'm losing
12:35
like at least go out on my shield trying
12:37
to win uhhuh not talk all this mess like
12:39
I hit harder than Triple G and you know
12:41
I'm going to break your whole face when
12:42
I punch you and then you know you go out
12:44
there and for the most part he had his
12:46
hands in his back pockets like staring
12:48
at him and he was getting walked down
12:50
you know he's supposed to be the big bad
12:51
wolf he was getting walked down the
12:52
whole time it's not like he was sticking
12:54
and moving and boxing and trying to he
12:55
was getting walked down and um
12:59
I just don't give out participation
13:02
awards for just making it through the
13:04
fight you know even if he would have
13:05
just if he would have really put it out
13:07
there and maybe only won two three four
13:09
rounds and then got knocked out but he
13:11
was like really trying you know you got
13:12
to tip your hat to a man like that he he
13:14
was out guned he was out experienced and
13:17
it just it wasn't his time but he didn't
13:19
do that you didn't feel like he put the
13:20
he didn't really try try he didn't put
13:22
himself out there he didn't he played it
13:24
safe that's what you say that's what
13:26
you're
13:27
saying like
13:29
those are your words those are my words
13:31
all right are you agreeing with me I'm
13:33
agreeing with you okay man you done said
13:35
a d already
13:37
brother we had him um up here cuz I I
13:40
feel like that's the fight to be made
13:42

but he was like you know telling me he
15:41
has respect for me and you know I let
15:42
him know he's a great coach and you know
15:45
this that and the third but during our
15:46
sparring session n definitely not he was
15:48
Shadow Boxing for six rounds and then he
15:50
got out Mark was like man we really
15:52
appreciate the experience and you know
15:54
thank you for the work and that was it
15:56
but he was uh I can't remember how old
15:59
he said he was 19 yeah he was young you
16:01
know and he just wasn't up to par at the
16:04
time obviously he's gotten better but
16:06
I've gotten a lot better too so but no
16:08
that's that definitely didn't that
16:09
didn't happen okay I put that on my kids
16:11
I put that on my boxing career yeah that
16:13
that definitely didn't happen oh [ __ ]
16:16
damn yeah that definitely didn't happen
16:17
ain't sparring when you Spar somebody
16:19
ain't that ain't you working on
16:20
developing certain things that she was
16:22
weak on and you're trying to like work
16:23
it's not a real fight is it like a real
16:25
dog fight uh it just depends on the
16:27
situation like uh you
16:30
you know if somebody's kind of on your
16:32
level then you know it might turn into
16:35
like some real hard sparring which is
16:37
good cuz you need that you know but uh
16:39
if someone's like not up to par and you
16:42
know not on your skill level then you
16:44
know you may your coach you may come
16:46
back to the corner and coach say hey
16:47
this round we're just going to work on
16:48
this or we're just going to work on that
16:49
or that may be established before the
16:51
sparring session even starts you know
16:53
but um in that situation like we were
16:56
boxing and after a little bit I'm like
16:58
yo this guy can't touch me so I was just
17:00
kind of like working on my defense
17:01
really just showboating because we was
17:02
in the Mayweather gym just trying to
17:05
make a point really and uh I didn't
17:08
really know who he was at the time
17:10
but yeah he definitely didn't hit me
17:12
with the body he hit okay all right man
17:13
I was just curious man Caleb plan I knew
17:15
you would make it
17:16
straight and I want to tell you the
17:18
truth because again you know like um
17:22
I've been hit with good body shots
17:23
before in spart you know and I'm not
17:25
ashamed to say that that's practice
17:26
that's part of it you know that's part
17:27
of the sport people um look at boxing
17:30
today as a popularity contest like you
17:32
got to be undefeated you got to have a
17:34
million followers you got to never lost
17:36
a fight or never lost a sparring session
17:38
and that's just not how Sports works and
17:40
that's definitely not how boxing works
17:42
you know so like I wouldn't be ashamed
17:44
you know I've been caught with good
17:45
shots before and Spar and I'm not acting
17:46
like I'm Invincible but in that specific
17:49
scenario
17:51
like wasn't he was like playing with
17:54
food honestly but he was young and
17:56
inexperienced you know you said it
17:58
playing with food he said what he said
18:01
he said what he said he said what he
18:03
said it was like playing with food I
18:06
like it uh Caleb planet's here man I'm
18:08
I'm enjoying this conversation I'm going
18:11
to talk about I I don't know much about
18:13
turkey Alek have you had a chance to
18:15
talk to this guy at all I have not no
18:17
what are your thoughts of the what he's
18:19
been doing for boxing uh it seems to me
18:22
doing a good thing you know he's
18:24
bringing uh some money to boxing putting
18:26
on big shows and big events that have
18:28
you know a lot of entertainment attached
18:31
you know going along with it and um
18:33
seems to be paying Fighters well and
18:36
once what's best for Fighters and so you
18:39
know you got to tip your hat to a guy
18:41
like that he he he for those who don't
18:42
know he's a um he's a she right he's
18:45
from the Middle
18:47
East I think Sai okay and he seems to be
18:51
paying boxers more than what they were
18:53
getting paid initially am I
18:56
mistaken so it seems to be that way and
18:58
does that mean that you know uh a lot of
19:02
the current staple promoters have been
19:04
taking more advantage of boxes in your
19:07
opinion um you know I can only speak
19:09
from my specific experience and you know
19:12
I'm signed to Al Heyman oh well you sh
19:15
my manager is Luis dubis who has been a
19:18
manager since he was like 17 his dad
19:20
managed Roberto Durant Alfredo benites
19:23
so um from my personal experience I've
19:25
been you know I've had anytime that I've
19:29
wanted an opportunity or a big fight you
19:31
know I've been able to make it happen
19:32
you know I've been able to do well for
19:34
my family and you know not just uh been
19:39
paid well but been respected well and
19:41
you know that goes a long ways too and
19:42
so but yeah turkey circling back you
19:46
know seems to be doing good for Fighters
19:48
and like I said that's a good thing what
19:50
would be your dream fight next for you
19:52
cuz you fought you one person who don't
19:54
turn your back on any fight who who
19:56
would that be next um the next three
19:59
fights that in any order you know Canelo
20:01
a rematch with Canelo you know I feel
20:04
like I've gained that experience now and
20:06
you know I've said in other interviews
20:07
experience isn't like something you can
20:09
buy you can borrow you know you got to
20:10
go through the fire to get experience
20:12
and I feel like I've done that with the
20:14
big fights that I've taken and um uh the
20:17
berlanga fight or the Charlo fight you
20:18
know I feel like that's three big fights
20:20
for boxing that you know the boxing fans
20:22
could get behind and even though I lost
20:24
to Canelo the first time people know
20:25
people have been seeing you know me
20:27
getting better and better each fight
20:28
couldn't work in the lab and um the
20:30
experience I have now and so yeah Canelo
20:33
Charlo banga I like that get that round
20:36
of applause right there I'd love to see
20:37
that happen I would love to see all
20:40
three of those fights happen with the
20:41
loss that you took with um Canelo that
20:45
was the biggest stage that you ever been
20:46
on did that play A Part far as with the
20:48
big lights and all of that that you got
20:49
caught up in the lights and stuff like
20:50
that or was I wouldn't say like I got
20:53
all the way caught up in it or anything
20:55
but
20:56
uh it was a hostile crowd you know
20:59
making the walk to the ring it's like
21:00
18,000 people and I had
21:03
like 40 people in there you know know 40
21:08
30 was family yeah ex that's what I'm
21:10
saying 30 or 40 were like with me so uh
21:14
you know that can be because it's not
21:15
just about performing you know and
21:17
executing but being able to perform and
21:19
execute under all that tension in the
21:22
room you know under you know the lights
21:25
and people watching screaming yelling
21:27
cussing whatever it may be
21:29
um but staying calm and cooling that and
21:31
I did but obviously at this point my
21:33
career I'm able to do that at another
21:35
level with the experience that I have
21:36
now so go ahead work so again the last
21:39
fight that you just fought you just
21:40
fought uh mcom he was a cheater you said
21:44
what do how do you get yourself prepared
21:46
for a fighter that you know used peeds
21:48
before and you want to make sure that
21:49
you're having a clean fight against a
21:50
person that a guy that you know is a
21:52
cheetah uh one just um making sure that
21:55
there's drug testing and whether that's
21:57
the promoter pay pay for that or a
22:00
fighter paying for that out of his
22:01
pocket and um trying to get the most
22:03
genuent testing you can which means the
22:05
most amount of test whether it be six
22:07
seven you know whatever and then two
22:10
just making sure I'm just focusing on
22:12
the things I can control you know that's
22:14
how of my control I can't I can't stay
22:16
up at night worrying if he's doing the
22:17
right thing you know am I doing the
22:19
right thing am I training am I putting
22:20
my best foot forward so I think as a
22:23
athlete and really just in general to be
22:26
successful just focusing on the things
22:27
you can control
22:29
and not worrying about the rest you know
22:31
cuz that'll J be
22:33
crazy what by the way I like every time
22:36
I says name give a round of applause
22:37
Caleb plant all right um cuz I think
22:40
you're the quintessential boxer of this
22:42
era man like you're you're this is
22:44
somebody who can you spell Quin can you
22:46
spell
22:47
qessential you know qessential I can't
22:51
even say it can anybody spell it any go
22:54
ahead q i n s right right smart here
22:57
this young buck here looks like you
22:59
could spill
23:01
it just kidding okay so the life after
23:05
boxing um you've already started
23:07
planting seeds no pun intended you got
23:09
you into fashion you got um the revenge
23:11
tour is that the name of your that's the
23:13
name of your line right yeah so Caleb
23:16
plant has his own has his own clothing
23:18
line and it [ __ ] is dope I saw something
23:20
I think you sent either barck or one of
23:23
those you sent them something right yeah
23:25
what what what part of your upbringing
23:27
the fashion player Ro um just probably
23:31
stems from you know not having any any
23:33
of those things when I was a kid you
23:34
know wanting nicer clothes nicer shoes
23:37
you know being the kid in school he was
23:38
like man wish my was a little you know
23:42
fly right yeah yeah yeah I'm not that
23:45
guy pal yeah but um and just you know
23:49
fashion somethings I've always been into
23:51
and uh was kind of like sitting on a
23:53
trying to think of a name and then after
23:54
I lost to Canelo I thought man revenge
23:56
tour would be a good name that I feel
23:57
like people could relate to and for you
24:00
know at the at that point in time it was
24:01
like you know going from place to place
24:03
stop to stop until I can write that
24:05
wrong and you know the get back you know
24:08
right that wrong against Canelo and
24:09
fight but also my life you know I feel
24:11
like as a representation of that you
24:13
know with the things I've been handed
24:15
and you know we all have a story but
24:16
just speaking about mine some of the
24:18
things I've gone through and where I
24:20
started and where I'm at now I feel like
24:21
that's me getting revenge on life like
24:23
life thought that it was going to keep
24:25
me at the bottom but you know I have my
24:27
mind made up that you know I'm going
24:29
to surpass what people expect of me and
24:32
you know create a better way for my
24:33
family and you know create a nice life
24:36
and not just financially but just all
24:39
around a good relationship with my wife
24:40
you know make sure my bills and my money
24:42
is in order um so uh and I feel like a
24:46
lot of us can relate to that you know
24:47
being told what we can accomplish what
24:49
we can't because of what we look like
24:51
where we're from you know what color we
24:53
are um being told we can't do things you
24:56
know some of us don't don't believe in
24:57
that m and uh what you told you can't do
25:00
because of your
25:03
color yeah I mean you know I'm a
25:06
minority in boxing you know especially
25:08
at this level and you
25:12
know let me see trying to choose my take
25:16
your time what I'm just you know just
25:18
you know being uh the white guy in
25:20
boxing people feeling like maybe that I
25:22
can't do certain things or take it as
25:25
far as some people because of what I
25:26
look like and where I'm from you know we
25:28
we've all had you know I'm not a victim
25:30
of that we've all been told that you
25:32
know in some shape or form or one or
25:34
another so uh but it's given me you know
25:36
motivation to you know what I say in the
25:39
last interview the only thing proving
25:41
somebody Pro somebody right is proving
25:43
somebody wrong there it is so yeah it's
25:46
giving me a lot of motivation to and
25:47
that's Revenge too showing you no look
25:49
I'm going to show you what I can do I'm
25:50
going to show you how far I can take it
25:52
Kayla plant how you all right there you
25:56
go you got to say that you have a
25:59
amazing wife who's always there by your
26:01
side man and I always wonder why boxers
26:04
bring family and kids to boxing matches
26:07
when you don't know if you're GNA win or
26:08
not like how traumatic is it for them to
26:10
see you get punched um but man she's
26:13
Jordan stood next to you through thick
26:15
and thin she's a great reporter the
26:16
whole n does she critique you does she
26:20
give
26:21
you she U my coaches will have her like
26:24
come to my sparring sometimes and judge
26:25
my sparring so she'll judge each round
26:27
especially like once I get to 12 rounds
26:29
and I'm like peing in Camp uh they'll
26:31
have her judge each round to see you
26:33
know I'm like watch out now yeah but uh
26:37
yeah she's a she's a great box of mine
26:39
you know we get to watch a lot of film
26:42
and you know I might help her with her
26:43
questions a little and she you know
26:45
critiques me on things I can get better
26:46
at so it's it's one thing to have like a
26:49
good woman but she's a good friend too
26:51
you know like that that's important and
26:53
um I know she's got my back because you
26:56
know she shown me a million times but
26:58
even coming up like we would split the
26:59
bills and then after a little while my
27:01
boxing check would run out and then she
27:03
would take over the bills all all of
27:05
them until my next fight came and then
27:07
you know and when she first met me like
27:09
I was sleeping on you know a mattress on
27:11
the floor at a friend's house try trying
27:13
to make it in boxing and you know for
27:15
her to be able to look past all that you
27:17
know that's how you know someone's
27:18
really rocking with you and so am come
27:21
on yeah she's a real one she she juggles
27:22
so many so many positions and does so so
27:25
much like she's a boss salute to her
27:29
what up
27:30
Jordan yo Caleb I I hope you enjoy your
27:33
time here man cuz we enjoy having you
27:35

27:37
