Plant has picked up a total of 12 knockout wins in his career, while Alvarez has incredibly knocked out 38 of his opponents to date. Plant and Canelo are set to collide in a super-middleweight title unification fight on November 6, 2021, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Paradise, Nevada.
Tensions between the two fighters reached a boiling point at a recent press conference in Los Angeles. Canelo Alvarez initially pushed Caleb Plant during the staredown. In response, Plant appeared to try to slap his opponent, but the Mexican slipped and landed a counter.
Plant suffered a surface scratch on his face. His manager, Luis DeCubas Jr., claims his client’s glasses caused the cut, not Alvarez’s hands.
Canelo Alvarez reveals why he lost his cool at the press conference
According to Canelo Alvarez, Plant insulted his mother during the staredown. This crossed the line for the Mexican superstar. Alvarez said he doesn’t mind trash talk but has a problem with anyone insulting his family.
Caleb Plant denied the allegations leveled at him by his counterpart. He said that he didn’t insult any of Alvarez’s family members. He also clarified that the rivalry is just between the two men involved and not their families.
