Caleb Plant and Jose Armando Resendiz will take part in one last press conference later today (Thurs., May 29, 2025) ahead of their upcoming interim WBA Super Middleweight title fight, which is set to headline the upcoming Premier Boxing Championship (PBC) event on Saturday May 31 inside Michelob Ultra Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Watch their final press conference LIVE at 4 p.m. ET in the embedded video above.
Also fighting LIVE on the Prime Video-streamed event will be Jermall Charlo, who will move up to Super Middleweight to face off against Thomas LaManna, who comes in with a record of 39-5-1 with three knockouts. As for Charlo, this will be his first fight in 18 months, as he hopes to secure a much-desired bout against Plant to settle their beef should they both prove victorious.
That said, he isn’t overlooking the man standing in front of him.
“I’ll be a fool to try to overlook him,” Charlo said to The Ring. “That’s not what I’m doing. I’m Jermall Charlo. This is my legacy. This is my career. I’m putting it all on the line. Now I understand why Canelo and them, all the big names, GGG at the time I was at 160, I see why they would say, ‘High risk, low reward.’ But I’m not that saying towards LaManna in no type of combative way. I’m just saying, naturally, me beating him in fashion and doing what I do best, get out there and win the fight, I probably won’t get the thumbs up and the likes from the fans. It’s gonna be expected.
“If I go in there and make it a fight and make it tough and something crazy happens in the fight, then they’ll be like, ‘Oh, he’s not Jermall Charlo no more.’ So, the pressure is on me to be who I am. I’m not overlooking LaManna. He has some skill. He has experience, too. He just never been in there with anybody like me.”
