Caleb Plant was scheduled to face Trevor McCumby on August 17 in Orlando, Florida, but the fight has been postponed due to McCumby suffering a cut over his right eye, sources told ESPN.
The WBA interim super middleweight title bout, which was set to be PBC's first non-PPV Prime Video headliner, will be rescheduled, according to sources. The entire PBC event at the Caribe Royale Resort has been postponed as a result.
Although the fight was never formally announced, Plant had posted on social media last week that he was fighting McCumby on August 17 without providing further details.
Plant, a former super middleweight titleholder, has not competed since a decision loss to David Benavidez in March 2023. Plant successfully defended his title three times before being knocked out by Canelo Alvarez in an undisputed super middleweight championship fight in November 2021.
The 32-year-old Plant, who fights out of Las Vegas, was ESPN's No. 5 super middleweight before being removed for inactivity.
