Referee stops boxer for provocative KO celebration (VIDEO)

Caleb Plant dug an imaginary grave after disposing of Anthony Dirrell

Former super middleweight champion Caleb Plant was told to halt a gravedigging celebration after KO’ing his opponent Anthony Dirrell at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn on Saturday.

Later, following the main event, fans questioned Deontay Wilder’s first round finish of Finland’s Robert Helenius.

Plant made his first appearance in boxing since his maiden career defeat to Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez in November of last year.

He had a grudge to settle due to Dirrell’s trash-talking in the build-up to fight night. Former two-time champion Dirrell teased that his opponent didn’t boast knockout power, but Plant proved him wrong toward the close of round nine when he landed a flush left hook on Dirrell’s jaw that sent him to the canvas.

The referee called the fight off with Dirrell crumpled in a heap. But he then had to stop Plant from celebrating the win by digging an imaginary grave for his foe.
