Although there are just four months left in 2021, there is a huge list of elite boxing bouts booked. In that elite list, Canelo Alvarez vs Caleb Plant’s undisputed 12-round war tops the fan charts. Everyone has kept their fingers crossed to see this fight come to life and not join the scrap heap.

Following a failed meeting of terms, the two teams are again in touch and are hoping to finalize this bout once for all. Recently, Alvarez’s ex-promoter, Eddie Hearn, who interacted exclusively with DAZN Boxing Show, spilled the beans on the progress of this contest and more.

He said, “The fight’s not made yet, but I think it’ll get there. I think that’s the one Canelo Alvarez wants, I believe Caleb Plant wants that fight. Hopefully now, with a November date, we can get it over the line.” (h/t Michael Benson)
