The Canelo Alvarez vs Caleb Plant fight is finally on and it’s set for November 6. These two super-middleweights will lock horns to become the maiden undisputed super-middleweight champ of the world. Given the stakes, the hype behind this bout is unquestionably insane and fans are just keeping their fingers crossed for a fiery tussle.

This fight will be presented by PBC Promotions. They are well known for putting out their fights on FOX PPV. But this time, Alvarez vs Plant’s fight won’t take place on FOX, instead, it’ll happen on Showtime PPV.

Mike Coppinger reported the same on his official Twitter handle. He wrote, “Sources: Canelo Alvarez-Caleb Plant on Nov. 6 will be a Showtime PPV. The vast majority of PBC’s major PPVs have been carried by Fox recently. PBC’s deal with Fox expires at the end of the year, though Fox holds a network option for a fourth year.”
