Plania (23-1, 12 KOs), the first Filipino prized fighter to see action since the COVID-19 lockdown, arrived with trainer Moro Fernandez of Miami.
They are accompanied by assistants Ramon Falgui and Franco Chocano.
The 23-year old Plania comes to the bout with an eight-fight winning streak. In his last fight, Plania outpointed Giovanni Gutierrez of Nicaragua last December in Miami.
His manager JC Manangquil, however won’t be able to join them in Las Vegas since there is still no flight available from the Philippines.
Manangquil will only be watching the fight on TV on Wednesday at 10 a.m.
Greer (22-1-1, 12 KOs), on the other hand, is currently the WBO No. 1 and the WBC No. 7 contender.
