A four-belt super middleweight unification is set for Nov. 6 in Las Vegas
1 min read
Saul “Canelo” Alvarez’s career is already filled with huge moments and accomplishments. On Nov. 6, Canelo will aim to achieve yet another accomplishment, facing Caleb plant in a four-belt super middleweight unification.
Alvarez holds the WBA, WBO and WBC championships. He added the WBO title to his collection in his most recent fight, a face-breaking stoppage of Billy Joe Saunders in May. Plant has held the IBF title since January 2019, taking a decision over Jose Uzcategui. Since winning the belt, Plant has made three successful title defenses.
After failed negotiations to make the unification bout for September, both sides were able to come to terms to make the bout official for November. Bad blood has built between the two sides, leading to a scuffle at a press conference. After a staredown, Alvarez shoved Plant and Plant tried to respond with a few punches. However, it was Plant who was left with a cut under his eye from return fire from Alvarez.
