Caleb “SweetHands” Plant is about to get his chance. Many of the people on Crypto Social Media probably have not heard of this guy, in fact many around the country haven’t heard of him, yet. Well they are about too...
Let me start from the beginning.
I have never seen this man in person, nor have a met him, however I have been watching him for the past few years. He went to my friends high school whom I ran across one day on the interwebs and he told me about him. T was when he was 7-0 undefeated fighting on Tuesday night in the middle of nowhere and televised on FOX SPORTS YOU HAVE TO PAY EXTRA FOR THIS CHANNEL at 8 pm. At first watch, the guy moved pretty good, you could tell he was better than the other man and was kind of going through the motions. Easy Breezy.
He won that match of course and then I started to do some research. They guy just looked special. I looked him up and he came from a rural area in Tennessee from Ashland City, in Cheatham County. I mean the guy looks like he would be from rural Cheatham County. Well this is just the start.
SweetHands has been fighting an uphill battle from the beginning. Not only did he go to a rural county high school (public at that, nothing special), he then trained in a low income area (at the time and I know this because I have been there) in Nashville, TN. With those odds against him, SweetHands was hit by another ton of bricks when his baby daughter was diagnosed with a very rare disease and unfortunately lost that fight at her young age. This is enough to break any man in life.
However flash forward and SweetHands has continued fighting the fight in life, and not only for himself, but for his daughter. Since then, and I have followed he has won multiple matches and is now sitting at 17-0-0. He has been contacted and relocated to Las Vegas where “better trainers” reside and have been working with him since. In the boxing world, they don’t come and find you and “convince” you to move and train in Las Vegas unless they see something.
Well we are about to find out, SweetHands is currently set to fight for the 168lb IBF championship next and hopefully on August 24th I am heading to find the details and will post This is his first big opportunity ON THE GRAND STAGE, and I know that he knows what is on the line.

I know which corner I will be cheering in, the man that came from not much of anything and has fought through the hardest diversity a man can go through. This is the moment SweetHands has been waiting for for over a decade. I wouldn’t be betting against this guy.
