Following a dominant win over Billy Joe Saunders, P4P king, Canelo Alvarez will probably face the IBF super-middleweight champion in Caleb Plant to unify all the 168 lbs titles.
Alvarez has bagged the WBO belt from Saunders and has added it alongside his WBC, WBA, Ring Magazine titles. Hence he is just one more title away from being the undisputed unified super middleweight champion.
To attain the stature, Alvarez will have to face an unbeaten champion in Caleb Plant. While the Mexican star has had two fights this year already, he is targeting his third in September.

Canelo Alvarez is now a free agent and has staged 3 successful events with Matchroom Promotions since fighting Callum Smith in December 2020.
Hence, he further wants to continue working with the UK-based company and Eddie Hearn has offered an update on Alvarez’s next possible fight.
Combat reporter Michael Benson took to social media in a bid to reveal Eddie Hearn’s statement regarding the potential 168 lbs clash.
Per the tweet, Matchroom will begin the process this week. The event can eventually happen on September 18th at the new Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. However, the talks are yet to meet fruition and there’s a lot of work to be done.

Therefore, the 6’1” orthodox boxer will clearly have to walk an extra mile to land the upset. He is a hard-hitter and has commendable footwork. However, Alvarez has broken every technique on his way to the top. Only a miraculous performance can stop him now.
