He stopped Sergey Kovalev in the 11th round to win the WBO title in November 2019. He later vacated the title and moved back down in weight. Another drawn-out negotiation in 2019 forced Alvarez to miss the September date and instead fight in November, a KO victory over Sergey Kovalev. He's also encountered hand issues, including in his most recent victory. What that potentially means is Plant will stay inactive, resting his injured hand for the next eight months until he faces Canelo in September. Benavidez Sr. put the onus on Plant on whether or not the anticipated fight will happen in the fall. Should his son come out victorious - as he is expected to - against Lemieux, Benavidez Sr. sees no reason why the Plant fight can’t be next. “Where I come from, there is no boxing community. “We come from nothing and we worked hard to be here.
Ogawa is a legit good fighter, one of the best at 130, and Cordina has his shot to make a statement here. “Not the ones that are going to run around and make it to the 12th round. “It's definitely what could happen if both belts are put on the line,” Benavidez says about a fight with Andrade leading to a shot at Canelo. He crossed a line,” said Alvarez, a -1200 favorite (wager $1,200 to win $100). The legendary heavyweight was ringside during an historic evening in Las Vegas, as the current pound-for-pound No1 became the first-ever undisputed super middleweight champion with an 11th-round stoppage win against the previously unbeaten Plant. Moments after his super middleweight unification victory over Billy Joe Saunders earlier this month, champion Canelo Alvarez turned his attention to another division titleholder: Caleb Plant. Rey Vargas, in his first fight at 126 pounds, ended a career-long layoff with a unanimous decision victory over Leonardo Baez. With the end of the year just around the corner, we don’t expect to see Plant in the ring until the first quarter of 2022. The question now turns to, who should he take on next? The first face-off in the press conference ended up with a brawl.
Canelo v Plant: What happened at the press conference? The boxers got into an ugly punching exchange during a stare-down at a news conference on Tuesday at the Beverly Hilton hotel. The news conference resumed, though tensions remained high. The YouTuber-turned boxer went the distance during an eight-round exhibition bout against Floyd Mayweather in June this year and has spoken on numerous occasions about the prospect of facing Tyson next. Tyson made his comeback after 15 years out of the ring against fellow Hall of Famer Roy Jones Jr in November last year in an eight-round exhibition bout, with the pair both displaying flashes - in parts - of what made them such formidable opponents. On the line will be Canelo’s WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO, and The Ring super-middleweight titles. The start time will of course depend on results beforehand, with an abundance of action also taking place on the undercard. The bout for the undisputed super middleweight championship will take place on Nov. 6 on pay per view, presented by PBC with Canelo Promotions. The Mexican has made it clear that his immediate goal in boxing is to win all the titles in the division, but to do so he will have to overcome Plant’s obstacle.
It's a Canelo house on Mexican Independence Day weekend! After defeating Billy Joe Saunders by TKO on Saturday night in Arlington, Texas, Canelo Alvarez now holds three of the four recognized world championships in the super middleweight division. His last three bouts were offered on pay-per-view, but that wasn't a major revenue driver since they were only available for substantially less money as part of a monthly subscription to DAZN. No matter whom he fights, Alvarez is a box-office bonanza, but he hasn't been able to flex his proverbial muscle on PPV in three years. Then find the PPV banner on its main menu and choose it. The 25-year-old from the Dominican Republic floored Romero in Round 4 with a left cross and then finished him in the following round with the same punch. They trade left hooks. It has left the fight with more than just belts on the line, with Alvarez at never-before-seen levels of animosity. The story of the fight was the stronger and more powerful man coming forward and dictating the terms.
