“You Can’t Break a Poor Boy’s Chin” – Caleb Plant Delivers a Strong Message to Canelo Alvarez

Following a successful win over Billy Joe Saunders, Canelo Alvarez can lock horns against IBF super middleweight champion Caleb Plant. However, Plant seems to have already fixed his aim at Alvarez.

The undefeated IBF titlist (21-0), who had his last fight in January against Caleb Truax, has been inactive in recent times. Hence, he would seemingly be the underdog against Canelo Alvarez (56-1-2), who has had three fights in 6 months.

However, just after Alvarez beat ‘Superb’, Caleb Plant sent a stern message to the Mexican great. ‘Sweethands’, who hasn’t hesitated in billing his superiority, posted a picture of his latest in-ring encounter with ‘Golden’ on social media.

In the caption. ‘Sweet Hands’ Plant wrote, “You can’t break a poor boys chin, that’s warriors code. THERE ARE THINGS I FEAR BUT I PUT IT ON MY LAST BREATH AND SOUL THAT MEN AREN’T ONE OF THEM.”
