Speaking to media, Plant (21-1) claimed that Dirrell, 38, will hang up his gloves after he’s beaten on Saturday.

Plant is coming off his career’s maiden loss against Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez where he was stopped in the 11th round. He plans to regain his titles in the long-run, but he is only focus on defeating Dirrell for now.

“I’m really not thinking past this fight. Right now I have to focus on the task in front of me,” he said.

Plant is confident that the camp he has been part of has got him into the groove back again.

“It’s been a minute since I’ve been in the ring. When we get there it’s no bullshit. Breadman (noted trainer Thomas Edwards), my dad, me, it’s been great chemistry.”
