“I was extremely angry and disappointed because I didn’t expect for it to pan out the way it panned out. I didn’t expect Canelo to, you know, come at him aggressively in that manner and him being the quote-unquote professional that they try to say he is, I didn’t expect that to happen.”

“But what I am happy about is Caleb standing his ground and letting the world know that he’s not afraid of Canelo. I think that’s something the whole world is starting to find out and they will find out – November 6th. Caleb isn’t afraid of anybody,” said Coach Wade.

Why do Canelo Alvarez and Caleb Plant not see eye-to-eye?

After a series of mix-ups in negotiations, the Mexican champion is now all set to fight Caleb Plant on November 6 at the MGM Grand, LV Nevada.

These 12 rounds are extremely critical for both fighters. This four-belt unification bout between the two champions will establish the first undisputed champ at 168.

In nearly a month’s time, both champions will head into battle to secure the undisputed champion tag. This is the base reason why there is so much tension between both corners; however, this whole rivalry kicked off initially because of disagreements and adjustments during the negotiations.

However, this is not just a rivalry anymore. It has escalated to a whole new level at the recent press conference. Caleb Plant called the Mexican champ a “motherf****r” during the face-off. That did not sit well with Canelo, who inferred it as a shot at his own mother.

Alvarez initiated a brawl during the press conference by pushing his opponent. This led to Caleb Plant launching a left hook at him, and within a split second, Canelo landed a two-punch combination that even caused a slight cut under Plant’s eye.

Only time will tell if and how this rivalry will come to an end.
