Published 10/28/2021, 8:15 AM EDT

Canelo Alvarez, who will face Caleb Plant on November 6, is unfazed by Caleb Plant’s unbeaten record. Holding the WBA, WBO, and WBC straps, Alvarez will look to dominate the fight and hand Caleb Plant his maiden professional loss, similar to what he did against Callum Smith and Billy Joe Saunders.

The P4P king has beaten legends, and Plant isn’t the best name on his resume. That said, he has sent a stern warning to ‘Sweethands’ in the latest media interaction. After a heated scuffle in the official presser, the recent warning sent chills across the combat world.

In his last fight, Alvarez had disfigured Billy Joe Saunders’ orbital bone, sending him into a long medical suspension. There is no news about Saunders’ return even five months after the fight.

Thus, Caleb Plant may come across a brutal beat down in the coming days at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

While Saunders did trouble the Mexican early, he faded as the fight progressed. Hence, ‘Sweethands’ knows what he needs to do and for how long he needs to do it.

How easy or difficult a night Canelo has will depend on what the IBF champion decides to do. Can Plant unsettle Alvarez and force him to earn his win?
