In nearly a month’s time, both champions will head into battle to secure the undisputed champion tag. This is the base reason why there is so much tension between both corners.
However, this whole rivalry kicked off initially because of disagreements and adjustments during the negotiations.
However, this is not just a rivalry anymore. It has escalated to a whole new level at the recent press conference. Caleb Plant called the Mexican champ a “motherf****r” during the face-off. That did not sit well with Canelo, who inferred it as a shot at his own mother.

Alvarez initiated a brawl during the press conference by pushing his opponent. This led to Caleb Plant launching a left hook at him, and within a split second, Canelo landed a two-punch combination that even caused a slight cut under Plant’s eye.
Given the magnitude of the fight and the caliber of the two, it is safe to say, the winner of this 12-round fight will definitely go down in the history books.
