Caleb Plant has claimed he was "burying the beef" with opponent Anthony Dirrell after adopting a 'grave digging' celebration following his KO win.
Plant was making his return at 168lb for the first time since coming up short in his undisputed title challenge when he fell to a stoppage defeat against Canelo Alvarez. 'Sweet Hands' took on experienced star Dirrell in a WBC title eliminator at the weekend, and after several rounds of chess-like action Plant detonated a huge left hand to close the show in the ninth.
Just seconds after landing the devastating blow, Plant began celebrating by sarcastically using a pretend shovel to dig his opponent's grave while stood over his opponent who was receiving medical treatment on the canvas. The referee quickly came in to move the American away from his rival, while the commentator appeared to criticise his antics.
