KO of the Year
Plant returned to the ring in a major way on October 15, 2022, in a FOX Sports PBC Pay-Per-View from Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. This was Plant’s first bout in the Big Apple. He gave the Brooklyn faithful a finish they’ll never forget. Facing nemesis and former two-time 168-pound champion Anthony “The Dog” Dirrell, Plant outboxed his counterpart for much of the night and then ended the battle with a crunching left hook that left Dirrell flat on his back. No count was needed.

“This win felt good,” said Plant. “You’ve heard about how much he hates me, but my head and my heart is what won me this fight. I was in control the whole time. My coach told me to stay patient and ease in and that’s what we did. Then, boom! “I’m ready for whatever comes next. I’m going to spend some time with my family, but then I’m ready for the biggest fights that we can make.”
Plant kept his word. On March 25, 2023, he took unbeaten, two-time WBC world super middleweight champion David Benavidez in a highly-anticipated grudge match at MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The build-up was as exciting and tense as any bout witnessed in modern times.

The fight didn’t disappoint either. In the end, Benavidez retained his Interim WBC Super Middleweight Title with a bruising unanimous decision victory by scores of 117-111, 116-112 and 115-113.
The showdown turned into the intriguing clash of styles that many predicted it would be, as Plant’s boxing acumen carried the early action until the brute force and high-volume power punching of Benavidez took over. After 12 grueling rounds in front of a sold out arena, the two fighters squashed their years long beef, embracing and expressing their mutual respect.
“It’s a big rivalry but that’s what boxing is all about,” said Plant. “We came here and settled it like men. I take nothing from David. We haven’t been the best of friends but we got into the ring and we settled it like men. That’s what you’re supposed to do. He’s a helluva fighter.”
