Caleb Plant and Edgar Berlanga’s Feud Escalates with Controversial Stunt Ahead of September Showdow
In the world of professional boxing, it’s not uncommon for rivalries to escalate into dramatic spectacles, and the latest clash between Caleb Plant and Edgar Berlanga is no exception. With their bout scheduled for September 14, tensions have reached a fever pitch, with Plant’s latest move igniting the flames of their bitter feud.
A War of Words Turns to a Digital Battle
The drama began at a recent press conference where both fighters were in attendance to promote their respective matches. Edgar Berlanga, 27, took aim at Caleb Plant, 32, in a verbal jab that would set the tone for their upcoming fight. Berlanga, who will be facing Canelo Alvarez on the same card, used the opportunity to criticize Plant’s boxing IQ. “That’s what’s gonna make the difference on September 14… It’s intelligence and IQ, and we’re not gonna end up like that fck n**a over there that got knocked out [pointing at Caleb Plant],” Berlanga declared, aiming to undermine Plant’s credibility and performance.
Plant, known for his sharp wit and fiery persona, responded with a move that was as clever as it was provocative. He purchased the domain ‘edgarberlanga.com’ and used it to redirect visitors to his own promotional content. The site now features videos and promotional material for Plant, leaving Berlanga’s name conspicuously absent. This tactic mirrors Plant’s previous stunt where he acquired ‘The Mexican Monster’s’ domain last year to promote his own brand and fight footage. Plant’s latest move was shared on his X handle with a chess piece emoji, symbolizing his strategic approach to the feud.
“That’s what’s gonna make the difference on September 14… It’s intelligence and IQ, and we’re not gonna end up like that f*ck n***a over there that got knocked out [pointing at Caleb Plant],” Berlanga declared.
A Clash of Titans and Words
The rivalry has only intensified as Plant and Berlanga exchange barbs on social media. Plant, preparing for a fight for the WBA interim 168-pound title against Trevor McCumby, responded to Berlanga’s threats with a stern warning. “So when I put my foot in his [backside], I don’t want to hear anybody in any comments talking about, ‘Oh, Caleb, why is he?’ Step to me and threaten me that you’re going to smack me in the face. See how that works out,” Plant declared, underscoring his readiness to defend his honor and his position in the ring.
As the fight date approaches, the animosity between the two fighters continues to build. Plant’s tactical antics and Berlanga’s fiery rhetoric have only heightened anticipation for what promises to be a high-stakes showdown.

The intertwined fates of these boxers promise to make the upcoming fights a pivotal moment in their careers.
