The only fight fans now wish to see at the super-middleweight landscape is the undisputed war between Canelo Alvarez and Caleb Plant. Both the fighters are extremely thrilled to take each other on as this is probably the biggest rewarding fight in their illustrious careers.

Recently, the IBF 168-pound champ, Caleb Plant was in an interview with Seconds Out. Here, he revealed his anticipation for a fight with Canelo Alvarez.

He said, “I mean, as far as on the good side, I’m sure I’d put it at the top of it. So I’ve been doing this for a long time and like I said, I’ve sacrificed a lot for this. I’ve worked really hard for this. And this has been my dream to become an undisputed fighter to be on the pound-for-pound list. And to cement a legacy in boxing that people can’t erase.”

“I know how far I’m willing to go to get my hand raised in that fight,”

Alvarez made himself viable for a bout against Plant by annihilating Billy Joe Saunders in his previous outing. The Guadalajara boxer completely outclassed the Brit by giving him a beating of his life. The fight began well for Saunders, but Alvarez turned the tide in his favor by adapting the offensive mode.

Moving further, he gave some serious damage to ‘Superb’. And as a result, the bout concluded after round 8. This win has now left Canelo to go full-throttle against Caleb Plant as it’ll consist of all the super-middleweight titles on the line.
