Just over the week, Canelo Alvarez returned to play, Alvarez's opponent Caleb Plant in the Unification of Super Middleweight Champions.
In a press conference before the match on September 22, Canelo (56-1-2, 38 Ko) and Plant (21-0, 12 Ko) had a fight, the culmination of the conflict was when Canelo pushed Caleb Plant, which made American boxers take the initiative to attack towards Canelo Alvarez. Alvarez countered with two slaps, causing Plant's cheeks to be torn, then the security guards had to intervene. Alvarez admitted that this scuffle was due to the personal encouragement between these two punches.
“I hope he has a strong set when fighting me because he will definitely need it in the upper night.”
“I am always ready to play, I can't wait any more. I feel very energetic and agile. As for Caleb Plant, he has surpassed the boundary, this is a personal story, this match is also a personal settlement. However, I have to be very focused because this is a very important match for me.”
“Caleb has a very good boxing skill. He moves quite flexibly, the punches are also very powerful. However, those things are not for me. I know what I need to do in the match, I have to be patient in the first half and decisive blow in the next round.”
“The Super Middleweight Championship Unity is my biggest goal. Not only is it the honor to become the first Latin American boxer to do it, but only a few boxers can do this.”
“This will be a difficult battle, a challenge. But in the end, the experience will dominate, and we will agree on the championship belt, this is the goal we have set a few years ago.”
