Caleb Plant and Rolando Romero join Canelo Alvarez-Edgar Berlanga undercard

The super-middleweight clash between Caleb Plant and Trevor McCumby has been added to the September 14 bill led by Saul “Canelo” Alvarez’s bout with Edgar Berlanga in Las Vegas.

Also on the T-Mobile bill is the return of Rolando “Rolly” Romero, who is boxing for the first time since his one-sided loss in March to Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz, who fights Manuel Jaimes in a 10-round, 140lbs fight that will open the pay-per-view.

The co-main event, between the WBA middleweight champion Erislandy Lara and veteran Philadelphian Danny Garcia, had already been announced.

“It feels good to be back. I’ve had some time away from the ring but I’ve used it wisely,” said Plant. “I’ve been in the gym since last June. I’ve sparred over 220 rounds in the past year and leading up to this fight, so I’m feeling sharper than ever. I’ve been smoothing the edges of my game and this is the best I’ve ever looked and the most complete my game has been and I think that speaks volumes to what I have left in me to prove. I guarantee that on September 14 you guys will see the best Caleb Plant yet. All I can say is, he’s going to get his ass whooped.” 

“Sports mirrors life and I see Caleb Plant as the symbol for those who are keeping so many down, and now it’s my job to fight back,” said McCumby. “No matter what resources you have to use against me, I won’t be kept down. I’m inspired by everyone who fights back, and that’s the mentality I’m bringing into this matchup on September 14.”

“Saturday, September 14 is a stacked card with a litany of the best fighters in the sport and it’s become even more jam-packed with action by adding in the hungry former world champions Caleb Plant and ‘Rolly’ Romero in separate high-stakes battles,” said Tom Brown, the president of TGB Promotions. “Plant is must-see every time he steps into the ring and will look to re-establish his dominance at 168-pounds against the rising undefeated contender Trevor McCumby, while Romero hopes to use his power-punching style to turn away Manuel Jaimes and put himself on track for another world title.”
