Alvarez is holding three of the world titles at super middleweight. Mayweather put his WBA (super) light middleweight title on the line and was 44-0 - someone’s zero had to go, and on that day it was the young Canelo’s. Canelo’s last defeat was against Floyd Mayweather back in September 2013 - where he lost his WBC and The Ring light middleweight belts, with Plant still unbeaten himself.
The fighter is Floyd Mayweather Jr., the son of two-time world heavyweight champion Gennady Golovkin. Canelo made it clear that he wanted to face IBF 168-pound champion Caleb Plant in September to determine an undisputed champion. Canelo Alvarez now has four championship belts, making him - as USA TODAY Sports reported - “the first undisputed super-middleweight champion of the four-belt era, a feat he celebrated by donning a king’s crown and standing on the ropes of his corner with both arms aloft” on Saturday night at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. Having beaten Callum Smith, Avni Yildirim, Billy Joe Saunders, and now Plant, Alvarez wraps all four of the major championship belts around his body. 11:09 p.m.: Comparing demeanor's in their ring walks, Alvarez is more relaxed than Golovkin. In a bit of irony, much of DAZN's issues with Alvarez during the deal hinged on the fighter not wanting to make the third fight with Golovkin.
Alvarez was released from his 11-fight, $365 million deal with DAZN after the lawsuit was settled in November 2020, making him a promotional free agent. Alvarez will take on Caleb Plant in a four-belt super middleweight unification bout. Canelo won the Ring Magazine and WBC Middleweight title against Miguel Cotto at the Mandalay Bay. He's cleared out the entire division, but what's more - he's done it in style, as he's made defeating title holders look easy when, it practise, it is anything but for most fighters. Alvarez, though, is not like most fighters. He went on to fight guys like Alfredo Angulo and Erislandy Lara at the coveted venue. Nearly 20 months after handing Wilder his first defeat via seventh-round stoppage, Fury (31-0-1, 22KOs)-BoxingScene.com’s 2015 Fighter of the Year-repeated the fight in their October 9 trilogy bout in a memorable eleventh-round knockout. It puts a punctuation mark on an extraordinary run at 168-pounds for the sport's No.1 boxer, as he won his first two titles in the division 11 months ago, before adding another just five months later. Plant has only won two full-length matches so far, both of which were against top-ranked opponents.
He has been defending his title for over two years.But he had defended his prestigious title thrice. The Congolese stands between Canelo (57-1-2, 39 KOs) and a world title at a fifth weight class as he continues to build an immense legacy in the sport following a knockout victory over Caleb Plant to clinch undisputed status at super middleweight. Murata is far from an elite opponent, but he carries name recognition, a middleweight title, and most importantly, is a major star in Japan where the fight will take place. Canelo Alvarez has made up his mind to grab all four major super middleweight titles against his upcoming opponent. So, he sits well as a perfect opponent for Canelo Alvarez at this moment. Plant acquitted himself well enough over the course of 11 rounds, and while the match was justifiably stopped late in the evening, on another night he might have lasted the five minutes more to force a decision.
