In less than a month’s time, the two fighters will face each other in the ring at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas.

Canelo will look to make history and become the first undisputed super-middleweight champion of the world. In doing so, Canelo will make history for himself and Mexico. However, Caleb ‘Sweet hands’ Plant, who holds the IBF world title, thinks he has what it takes to beat the Mexican superstar.
