In a few hours from now, Canelo Alvarez will enter the boxing ring for one of his most important career fights. The Mexican boxing star will lock horns with Caleb Plant in an undisputed super-middleweight title fight. This bout is unique in its own way and the world is keenly following every minute detail about the event.

Not only the fans, but also bigwigs like Mike Tyson are excited about this fight. That said, ‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’ marked himself present for the Alvarez vs Plant weigh-ins. He met Alvarez at the event.

“Means a lot. He was a great fighter, legend. I wanna be like him one day, so means a lot,” said Canelo, when asked about what Tyson’s presence meant to him.

Canelo and Tyson‘s bond strengthened after the unified 168-pound champ appeared on ‘Iron’ Mike’s podcast earlier this year. In the podcast too, Tyson and Alvarez shared some encouraging words for each other.

Canelo Alvarez – One step away from creating history

The four-division champ has seen a steep rise in his career, and he’s only getting better with time. His aggressive fight skills have worked wonders for him over the past few years, and on Saturday night, Alvarez will look to bring in something similar.

Furthermore, Canelo is just a stride away from creating history and registering himself as the first undisputed super-middleweight champ. Hence, if he wins against ‘Sweethands’ it will be historic.
