IBF (Super) middleweight champion Caleb Plant will put his title on the line when he faces against Mike Lee on Sunday.
 
The American boxer (18-0-0) remains undefeated having clinched his title after defeating Venezuelan fighter José Uzcátegui on the 13th of January 2019.
 
Plant, 27, dropped Uzcátegui twice en route to a unanimous decision win and he is now looking to defend his belt for the first time. 
 
“I have the same amount of respect for him as anybody else who I step in the ring with, which is none. If you want me to respect your fighting skills, then you’ve got to make me do that," Plant told Fight News.
 
"I’m not just going to give you the respect that you want. July 20, when the bell rings, if he wants me to respect anything in his arsenal, then he’s got to make me do that because he’s not getting it."
 
Mike Lee in action
 
Meanwhile, Lee is the current IBF-USBA light heavyweight champion and he is now looking to win his maiden world title in the middleweight division.
 
The American fighter (21-0-0) is undefeated having also held UBF All America Cruiserweight and NABO Light heavyweight titles.
 
Lee, 32, is confident that he will extend his undefeated run by overcoming his countryman Plant and walk away with the IBF title.

"I'm normally fighting at 175-pounds but I'm bringing all the power and speed down to 168 and I'm ready to win this belt. It has been a long camp and I feel ready."
