Undefeated IBF super middleweight champion Caleb Plant has revealed some major insights regarding his recent scuffle with unified titlist Canelo Alvarez in a press conference. While many saw it as a mere feud, it was much more. It is no secret, Plant had contracted a cut under his eye, which appeared to result from Alvarez’s counter hook.

However, the P4P king also lost some blood. In a chat on The Last Stand with Brian Custer, Caleb Plant said, “You know his arm was bleeding. That’s why he kept. Because his arm hit my glasses right here. Pushed my glasses to my face, just gave me like a little cut right here. I don’t even need any stitches or like no surgery, anything like that. It’s just like a scratch. But I didn’t want it up there trickling down. You know what I am saying.”
