Canelo Alvarez and Caleb Plant are now hours away from settling the rivalry and putting everything on the line to chase eternal boxing greatness. As the two stars and champions are now all set to clash for the undisputed super-middleweight champion status, fans are now already on the edge of their seats.

Based on their recent interviews during their ‘Grand Arrival’, it seems both corners are now done with all of the media obligations and are just eager to step into the ring.

The MGM Grand in Las Vegas will come alive with screams, cheers, bright lights, loud music and the echoes of thunderous jabs, hooks and uppercuts on November 6.

Fans are now beyond excited to watch Plant and Alvarez go head-to-head for 12 rounds. Before the unified champ and the IBF champion finally lace up the gloves, here’s a detailed comparison between Caleb Plant and Canelo Alvarez in terms of fight stats, net worth, personal and social life.

Age

This is a great matchup for a number of reasons. Among other reasons, this fight seems promising because of the almost negligible age-gap.

Considering that the Mexican p4p king has been fighting professionally since the age of 15, the fact that he is only 31 years old comes off as surprising to many.
