So Billy Joe Saunders went out of the biggest fight he will ever have in his life on his stool, not his shield. To enhance his elusive moment Saunders had threatened to pull out of the fight of his life unless the ring was expanded from 18 feet to 20. To which Canelo said: ‘I don’t care about the size of the ring. To which the undefeated Englishman said: ‘I don’t care about any of this. So, May it is. If so, Saunders has made the same exit for which heavyweight prospect Daniel Dubois was pilloried when he fought against Joe Joyce. Canelo, still fresh from his eye-and-cheek-crushing victory over Billy Joe Saunders in Dallas last month, has time on his side. The thousands who had flown across the southern border to reinforce their resident countrymen and an ever-growing American appreciation of Alvarez were confident that Canelo would deliver another victory to commemorate the battle which began the end of Spanish occupation. The party began in the surrounding streets and acres of car parks hours before the fight.
Gradually the most stunning sports Colosseum on earth began filling with the mostly Hispanic 70,000 fans who, under the closed roof of the home of the Dallas Cowboys, would surpass Muhammad Ali’s all time record for an indoor boxing crowd in the US. That journey will go on against the holder of the IBF title held by Caleb Plant who, like Saunders until this night, is unbeaten. The Sporting News will be providing updates as more information is revealed. ‘We want to keep making more history,’ says the prize-ring’s most celebrated newlywed. The more numerous his achievements, the hotter the argument will become. For the moment he will relish not only defeating Saunders but securing the KO with which he was hell-bent on punishing the gypsy prince for his disruptive protests in fight week and what he perceived as disrespect in that build up. Charlo did tell Fight Hub TV about plans to move up to 168 pounds last weekend after his twin brother, Jermell Charlo, became the undisputed junior middleweight champion of the world.
Alvarez narrowly won his rematch with Golovkin to claim two middleweight belts, and he won titles at super middleweight and light heavyweight during his next three fights. Alvarez also won the award in 2019, a year in which he outpointed Daniel Jacobs to unify three middleweight world titles and then spectacularly knocked out Sergey Kovalev in the 11th round when he jumped up two divisions to win a light heavyweight belt. No Mexican fighter has ever held all four major super middleweight belts simultaneously, but the 31-year-old Canelo has put the accomplishment atop his dwindling list of unaccomplished pugilistic goals. Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez has agreed to face unbeaten Caleb Plant in a bid to become the undisputed super middleweight world champion. Aug 19 (Reuters) - Saul "Canelo" Alvarez confirmed that he will face Caleb "Sweethands" Plant for the undisputed super middleweight title on Nov. 6 in Las Vegas. Alvarez's three most recent fights since the start of the coronavirus pandemic have all been at super middleweight. Chavez held world titles at three weights, Alvarez is already a world champion in four divisions. There was a stir of interest as Alvarez was seen lacing up his own blue and white boxing boots, although that is a practice to which he has adhered throughout his career.
Yes, Alvarez’s post-boxing career has begun. “He’s going up to cruiserweight, he’s fighting a guy that’s really not, ugh, the guy’s up and down,” said Mayweather, reported talkSPORT. “I am looking at the golden ticket to cement my legacy, and that’s how you have to go in there to beat him. If you're planning to build a raised bed garden or are just thinking about it, there are a few things to think about before you get started. Back on September 21, 2021, one wouldn’t think that there would be unfriendly encounters between the fighters. “I think he’s physically strong. “But Charlo, he’s just a talker. As long as this isn’t a draw, we will crown an actual undisputed lightweight champion. So far, he has shown the higher upside, having won a world title at junior lightweight and a secondary belt at lightweight. Mexican Alvarez holds the WBC, WBA and WBO titles while Plant owns the IBF belt. The Brooklyn-based puncher has emerged as a devastating threat, having knocked out 16 opponents inside the first round, while he floored Demond Nicholson on four occasions in his only fight that ended in a points win.
