Caleb Plant On Life’s Highs & Lows, Beefing w/ Other Boxers, Canelo vs. Benavidez | THE ART OF WARD

[@BadgerWolf-19]

Man Dre brought out a different side of Caleb in this one. I can understand big time my stepdad was a dope head and an alcoholic and moms was just trying to survive. The boxing gym didnt get me to the pros but it got me to college.

[@fernandopessoa7077]

CP was interviewed on Carl Froch’s channel Froch on Fighting the other month which is worth watching as well. Top guy, Caleb.

[@deniesehowze7166]

Lol😂

[@tag7376]

Solid

[@chubrokkortiz4904]

THE BOXING GYM IS A SANCTUARY THAT BUILDS MEN AND YOUR A TESTIMONY TO THAT

[@thebigfellajourney]

Facts

[@latrissafields7081]

I’ve met so many professional boxers & Plant was the 1st person to actually ask me my name! He truly has a humble & beautiful spirit!

[@shall7277]

Goodness.. over here tearing up. Dre has a way of opening people up.. can't say that about any other boxing personality with a platform for interviews. God bless Caleb Plant

[@RealestOne0.0]

Caleb Plant always keep it real and that's why he is likeable.

[@BoxingLegends2024]

crybaby

[@FCB-Trendsetter]

Real talk!!! Salute to Caleb!!🫡💯

[@tonyfortune346]

Genuine people usually have a way of making people feel comfortable. A lot of people are fake and who wants to be open and real with somebody that's fake

[@WeekendAtRennies]

Exactly Man it takes everything to bring that out you can see it, feel it

[@PrinceGoldSoul]

Man this was a deep interview… Caleb you are an inspiration like no other

[@babikerbanaga2865]

Caleb deserves different respect definition of making against all odds everyone was against em still did plus he stole the show on the Canelo fight the way he came back was fire 🔥

[@chubrokkortiz4904]

Agreed 👍

[@eddie-ed1959]

Caleb, I am so proud of you. Im 65 and still struggling with addiction. Ward, Man! Same feeling. God Bless you guys and yours.! Maybe some day i can be alright.

[@davidselby5643]

Caleb Plant is the definition of a real person. To get through everything he went through in his childhood and his daughter to become a world champion you have to respect him as a man. Also in his boxing career he never ducked anyone in his career and always comes to fight. God bless this brother and his family great interview from Andre Ward.

[@kingfitness9312]

See this is why they put ward in this position…he can bring out an entire different side of boxers because he’s like the big brother that some of them never had! Man, this is dope! We need more Dre! 🫡💪🏽

[@TraxFMTheOriginalPirates]

I was deeply moved, and I can't believe the way the media has portrayed Caleb. Well - I'm now a fan of Caleb and will be watching his future fights. I want to celebrate Caleb & his family's highs. What a great inerview & insight. Thank you Andre.

[@Stagegottalent]

Man I couldn’t agree more we need to judging books by their cover because lord he knew what Caleb been through god bless his soul I almost teared up when he spoke on his daughter I experienced that with my grandfather and his last days I was laying beside him in a similar way.

[@SamKnowsNothingAtAll]

Andre does a fine job at asking the hard questions. He approaches subjects that most would avoid or would pussyfoot around. He doesn’t come off rude or condescending and I feel he gets the most honest and real answer that an audience can ask for. I don’t think the guests try to bullshit him or pretend to be more than they are, who he is and the way he carry’s himself demands too much respect. With exception to Deven Haney. I feel like Deven Haney doesn’t know how to be a real and honest person no matter who he’s talking too. But thank you Andre and thank you Caleb. Great interview.

[@straightwhiteman7524]

Yet he still stood his ground with Haney on Ryan taking ostarine for weight cut reasons, not as performance enhancers. Thats why i fuck with Andre, he doesnt sugar coat just for the interview.

[@troypolamalupittsburghdynastyf]

Lmao. Andre always pussyfoots around when he’s around his homies like Shakur. To soft to ask Shakur real questions *

[@Saiyan-px5li]

This man one of the realest people I’ve ever seen. He deserves greatness

[@PL8R4LF]

God Bless Caleb…. What a story, what a life… Very strong man and Father. As a Father, I couldn’t even imagine the pain he’s been through. Bless his heart and career 💯💪🏾

[@nickfullen-collins7223]

One of the best boxing interviews in a long time. Props to Dre for preparing & asking and responding hard questions and major props to Caleb for being so open and transparent! Been a huge fan of his for years now and I’m an even bigger fan now!!

[@6ixty9ineGawd]

Man these fighters gone through so much.. one thing i know is that as privileged as i am ill never make it to a level of stardom of Caleb has made it to simply because my struggles have never been on the level of this mans.. and the fact he can turn struggles into motivation is truly beautiful and represents life more than we understand

[@floridaman_85_58]

I was always rocking with caleb but since listening to this interview i got whole lot more respect for the dude. real solid guy.

[@876zion]

This has been my favorite interview on this channel. Thank you Caleb for being transparent and having the courage to share your story. This is going to help many men and young men out there. Andre you really are doing a phenomenal job as an interviewer. Making them comfortable and asking the right questions and pushing them a bit but not too much. Keep it going

[@joigourmand]

This was definitely his most vulnerable interview yet. Anyone who has a parent with addiction/severe mental issues can definitely relate to being exposed to those hard scenes at a young age. He is definitely a fighter in and out the ring.

[@jescthebigpic]

Man this interview is so special. Bravo man. Brought me to tears.

[@alexisalvarado6708]

Man, I’ve been following Caleb since his first fights. This dude is the most sincere dude out there, props to Dre on letting him talk and express himself.

[@AcademyFit]

Wow….this interview gave me chills, teary eyes & smiles like I know CP personally!!

[@Mar-m8u1b]

My two favorite boxers of all time 👑⚔️ like ward, you overcame alot caleb plant🙏 much respect king.

[@mendoza900]

Great Interview. Probably the first time I truly seen Caleb open up.

[@mr.worthington6201]

Plant is a real one. When conversations come up about his family. Certain questions you can see his demeanor change...but he controls it.

[@Pablo-ig7tx]

Of course, he is emotional, that's his family. Had he break down in tears he would not have been > , loosing a child and his own mom that's beyond imaginable. My mom still has My Twin's ashes at home with us , i grew up knowing they were there. My genitor was not here to raised me and my brothers, a huge part of our upbringing was made by our Grandma and mom. But i am already going everywhere with my comment. To cry is perfectly fine, i hope Caleb have support, his wife seem to be exceptionnal and comprehensive

[@OnSiteProductions]

Caleb is a DAWG🔥

[@mattheers7007]

Caleb you definitely stole the show! That fight was awesome brother!! Made the night!

[@Jesse_Saucedo]

It was awesome seeing Caleb Plant win the WBA Interim Super Middleweight Championship He's one of the top top fighters in the division and he deserves to hold a world title Glad he won and now onto bigger things going in 2025 🥊

[@M.C._3369]

What an amazing interview. This one hit home. Really see Caleb in a new light. Wish all the best for you brother, truly. Dre thank you for these interviews 🙏🏽 they are truly inspiring. Great to see the men behind the gloves.

[@DansChessLounge]

I learned a lot about Caleb in this interview. I enjoy these types of behind the scenes deep dives. This boxing channel is refreshing and was much needed in the KZbin space.

[@eriktorres3013]

To go through all the shit he went through and to still move around humble and grateful for life is a blessing

[@efrainhenderson2020]

Bravo! Impactful. There are so many who have gone through similar and have fallen hard. Congrats, Caleb Plant!!!!

[@rbros44]

These conversations different with Ward facilitating the convo. Thankful to see someone who live and love the sport like Ward documenting these convos. Real.

[@adamtchambers1979]

Plant! Shout out from Nashville! Proud of you

[@billyettouati1124]

Man seeing Caleb make that adjustment in the mcumby fight was amazing to see he changed the entire fight on him and got him out of there. The fact that he came up with that before anyone had to tell him and successfully implemented it I know for sure he’ll be a champ again soon.

[@rm3984]

Man that’s a tough pill to swallow with your daughter my condolences bro I’ve always respected you bro but that gave me a different love for you bro must respect damnnnnn! That’s heartbreaking gang😢🦾🦾🦾

[@PoppyQuarles-ul2mu]

I look at Caleb different after this interview Andre nice interview 🤝🏾

[@jefferymartinez10]

Let’s go! Andre really brought Plant to the showwww!🥊🥊

[@micahjackson5288]

Every time I hear Caleb plant story I get emotional myself man .. great guy much respect

[@dhop1653]

I got a whole new level of respect for Caleb. He dealt with a lot and overcame a lot. I’ve always enjoyed watching him fight, but I am certainly hoping he becomes a Champion again. Salute!

[@Jaywhite305]

Alot of us come from poor upbringing I knew something wasn't right when i was a kid and all the kids on the block had cable and I didn't then I was at school one day and one of my friends asked me did I see WWF Monday night raw and I couldn't say yeah but I didn't wanna say no but he caught on and he said damn Dogg yall ain't got cable over there I was so embarrassed lol😂😂😂😂 but I'm in a way better position as a adult got cable and a house it's not where came from its where you goin

[@fernandopessoa7077]

We were all poor where I grew up so nobody noticed anything, must be shit growing up poor where you stood out. Respect.

[@SIDIAMONDS505]

🎯

[@Jaywhite305]

@fernandopessoa7077 it was rough but it made me to never wanna not have

[@fernandopessoa7077]

Same, used it as motivation to make sure my daughter has everything.

[@DavidHernandez-qn5zc]

Remembering being poor cause you didn’t have cable lmao…I wish not having cable would be my reason(s) why I remember growing up poor.

[@matthew-jy5jp]

How could anyone not respect Caleb?

[@cryptoreem6604]

Great interview Dre 👏🏽🫡! I remember watching Caleb win his first world championship and have been a fan ever since 🤜🏽🤛🏽🥊

[@d-troofeast6420]

Man you are a standup guy, I knew of your story but not in depth, you are a Champion in Leah's book. And I've been rocking wit'cha.

[@chrisventura1881]

Sad the addiction part. Respect to Plant his story similar to Ward's. He needs to write a book one day after his career. Salute. ✌🏼 Amazing interview.

[@larryholstein7925]

Caleb is my favorite boxer because i'm from rural west virginia and grew up in a similar fashion, everyone around you hopped up on drugs wasting their life away wanting to take your dreams away from you. The military got me out of it but his story is just incredible what he's had to fight through, something about the struggle builds character like no other. Caleb is a prime example of a grown ass man.

[@rarce]

Hats off to Caleb Plant!

[@718Mudd]

My eyes kind of watering. Plant is movie material

[@jjaygunz]

I've been rocking with Caleb for years, i knew of all this years ago.. He's 1 of the strongest champs in boxing. He's a real 1, for sure 💯🙏‼️

[@chivassantana]

Plant had my vote before this, but after this, he was placed even higher on my card 💪 team Plant all the way!!! 🇲🇽 🇺🇸

[@allanresendez9479]

Hats off to Caleb Plant. I've always respected his skills and now knowing his story I'm glad he is in the position he is in. 💪

[@Leo-s9k6e]

I was already a fan of both guys. This interview made me an even bigger fan.

[@Milfromdacliff]

Bro I got so much more respect for Caleb plant now! Liked em before but this interview took the cake.

[@lightskinbusiness]

2 of my favorite fighters this interview was 🔥🔥

[@micahoneal2289]

Wow! You never know what people are going through or have gone through in their lives. Social media has created an environment for dumba*s and random idiots to make disrespectful comments about fighters that they don’t know. I learned a lot about Caleb from this interview. I always liked him as a fighter and I love Breadman as his trainer so I’m rooting for him even more now. This was awesome interview. Dre is doing his thing but we all could see this seamless transition from a fighter to this space. Respect to both champions.

[@TheBookOfSammy]

Beautifully done per usual Dre. I think I speak for most people I’m saying that. I’m familiar with his story a bit from the Pivot when he went on there before his fight with Benavidez or Canelo, can’t remember. His story is incredible-perseverance-determination-faith. I think most people got caught up with the antics at fights and totally misconstrued who he is and it’s dope you gave him the platform to “allow him to reintroduce himself..his name is Caleb Plant.” Keep doing great work fam. Peace. -Sammy

[@theartofmoving9057]

Dre, thank you for inviting Caleb, you made me cried! That’s a spiritual conversation,

[@sireon.h380]

This interview was fire I commend and respect both of you guys keep pushing out these interviews because fans like myself love to see this side of boxing getting into the intricacies and the deep stuff 💪🏽🔥🔥

[@familiaprimero4920]

Caleb is a good man and father , his been through his peeks and valleys and it definitely shaped him into the fighter he has become in life. Great interview

[@danem1274]

Amazing interview. I knew most of Caleb’s story already but this was the best it was told

[@alexgil852]

This interview gave me goosebumps / chills / tears . Great interview Caleb. You are a inspiration to me.

[@danm5776]

Andre is one of the greatest boxers of my generation but man what he’s doing with media is incredible. I don’t think there’s another man better suited for this job. Caleb you are an inspiration keep getting after it 💯

[@dayhumble1629]

Glad to see you overcame your past pro. Happy for you! Keep it going

[@omz_espinoza]

Caleb's story about his daughter breaks my heart. Every father's nightmare.

[@Hardwork1963]

Great interview ! Respect to both of these brothers

[@MigoNico]

Best episode bro. Shoutout Caleb man. Cuz damn near had me tearing up

[@christopherzavala1644]

Damn as a father listening and seeing him talk about his daughter really hit deep what a man

[@marktodd2023]

Great interview! Caleb is a real 1. Dude been through it all and stay wantin the smoke! Much respect. Keep it goin Dre!

[@hungerpainsmusicvisuals]

This was great‼️ probably the best story on the pod to date

[@malanne1]

Hot topics bro... Caleb is a true warrior, no ducking anyone and a gentleman.

[@itsJade360]

Rest in peace Baby Aaliyah🥲 Beautiful #GonetooSoon

[@kylebulldog2115]

Never seen PLANT this way before 👏 👏 👏 👏 ❤❤❤❤❤. The definition of RESILIENCE !!!!

[@jesushuesca6536]

First time I see Art of Ward. I’m hooked what an excellent interview. I give more Respect for Caleb plant for opening up on his most vulnerable moments in life 👏

[@Mike-el2iu]

Shout out to Caleb, this makes me see him through a different light. You can tell how hard it hurts him just trying to describe everything.

[@SD80]

Just subscribed - finally a fight game channel by a former boxing great! Andre Ward🏆 Thanks Brodie👍🏾

[@sermun101]

Caleb always been my guy! I’m from down the road in Murfreesboro. You definitely my favorite fighter now 🥊

[@Jesus1801Spring]

I've always had respect for Caleb, but after this interview, understanding all he endured allowed boxing fans understand the levels that make up Caleb. Much respect 🥊

[@LorenaRodriguez-f4k]

Caleb deserves all the good things in life 😭

[@junior82olvera]

Respect to both of y’all. 🙏🫡

[@P3ac3806]

Caleb you are truly a great human!!!! Godbless you and your family

[@jessecalvert9082]

Best Plant interview I've ever seen! Definitely opened up more on this one, great interview!

[@yuvalsaban1500]

Realest as it gets. Great interview 👑

[@omarrosales8947]

Caleb is inspirational he got it out the mud.

[@marcoavalos7717]

Two of my favorite guys true warriors in life both of them. Nothing but respect 🫡

[@bjc8263]

Brilliant.honest account of CP career/story so far, brilliant boxer who would be undisputed if not for canelo/Benvedez, that is no dis as he gave both two of their hardest fights. As for all the smoke podcast, this got to be one of the best most honest shows out there .

[@EricLanier2123]

Much respect for Caleb plant always liked him as a fighter and for defending himself inside and outside the ring. Gained much more respect hearing his childhood story and realized how much we got in common.

[@Matosjay]

Caleb is very outspoken guy..impressed with his way of talking.. Godbless.. shout out from Philadelphia.

[@messiah3432]

W INTERVIEW. Ward asked alot of tough questions and Plant answered them no matter how tough it qas for him. CALEB gained alot of Mexican fans after his fight with Canelo. I've watched all his fight since the canelo fight and I didn't even know who he was. It would be great to see him train with Canelo sometime I feel he could catch alot of his mexican style and become a GREATER fighter.

[@yanassi]

As i saw caleb early in his career, i took to him. Something cool, something real, a little fire below. Even the nickname “sweethands” spoke to me of a reputation earned in the gym or maybe the street. A blue eye soul brother for sure. I’m glad dre is in caleb’s life as a friend.

[@therodtriptv]

Excellent conversation. Thank you for giving depth to the sport of boxing by putting the spotlight on the personalities behind the punches. Not all humans are boxers, but all boxers are human.

[@pleasantvalleycommunitychu5498]

Powerful testimony. Thank you so much for sharing your story, Caleb. Praying for you, brother.

[@wilsonperea9460]

Ward & Caleb, Amazing interview. Thanks for taking us along on your career & personal journey. 💯🥊💐💐🤝🏽💪🏽🙏🏽

[@christophersavva9733]

This is important, such an important interview, so many tomes we hear about gang members and drug dealers finding boxing but as an addict hearing the stories about his mum really hits hard, we'll done mate you have done so well, I don't know you but literning tonypu gives me strength and Andre such a good interview WOW

[@SaintNicholvs]

been a fan of Caleb’s since the beginning. I’m glad ppl can see how much of a real dude he is, and get a better understanding of “sweet hands”. dope ass interview✔️

[@inmyopinion651]

That is some great work Dre. Caleb Plant is a guy that its hard to not be a fan. He is a fighters fighter for real. Regardless of boxing he is a good man.

[@orangerelram1982]

Much respect to Caleb, life's tough and he's been very successful in his life and career after much pain growing up, a great boxer and a tough night for any top contender 🥊

[@conflict7269]

THANKS FOR THE SHOUTOUT YALL

[@jamescole4558]

Great interview. I had no idea that Plant had went through so much. I have a different type of respect for that brother.

[@AguilarWally]

Andre Ward - Can you interview Paul the Punisher Williams. One of the great fighters which was on the road to become a Boxing HOF, and you could make an argument that he deserves. Paul Williams does not get enough love and attention from the boxing world, and the man did great things in the sport, and deserves to be interviewed by someone like you. Outside the loss to Maravilla, he always put on a show and deserves to have his life inside the ring and out be highlighted. Please, I have this strong conviction from the LORD that P.W needs to be lifted. Beat HOF'er Winky Wright, beat Marvilla in the first match, beat guys like Margarito, Cintron, and current champ E. Lara. Boxing Community, lets make sure we get this message to The S.O.G get this message. This was a great interview, loved it! HUGE fan!

[@jetthompson7622]

This is a very interesting and surprisingly entertaining show! I watched it from start to finish... Keep up the good work Dre!

[@1tuck5]

Dre is a shaping up to be one of my favorites to listen to on this side too. He's been my favorite to listen on commentator side for the newer school!!

[@mariolugo6744]

Man that interview hit really deep I never thought that their was somebody that I could relate so much to Caleb made it i didn't, but this taught me to value does that are still alive regardless of the things they put you in life 🙏 best interview 🥇

[@eddievaloy594]

It’s great to see Plant as the people champ , not just a world champ. He put the hood on the Wheaties box with this interview.
