Caleb Plant to call-out Canelo Alvarez tonight?

Caleb Plant is undefeated and is entering the prime of his career. More than anyone else, he’ll be looking for a massive win tonight to get aligned for a mammoth fight with Canelo Alvarez.

Alvarez has cemented his plans to stay at the 168-pound division and he will enter the squared circle on February 27 to defend his titles against Avni Yildirim. If he gets past Yildirim, he undeniably will challenge Billy Joe Saunders for his WBO belt.

If he bags that win in both these fights, a bout with Caleb Plant will definitely be on the cards.

However, it will be intriguing to see how things play out tonight for the Nashville native. His post-fight call-out will be worth a watch if he wins tonight.
