Errol Spence Jr. and Terence Crawford recently appeared for the weigh-in for their undisputed welterweight clash. However, what stole the show was a scuffle backstage. Former IBF super middleweight champion Caleb Plant smacked current WBC middleweight champion Jermall Charlo. Meanwhile, Conor McGregor reacted to the incident and sent a message to Plant in a couple of deleted tweets.

Video footage released by Michael Benson showed Caleb Plant confronting Jermall Charlo backstage during the event. He charged him and smacked the WBC champion in his face. However, Charlo seemed unfazed and didn’t care to fire back at the former IBF champion. This almost ignited a brawl between the boxers’ entourages.

However, things did not escalate more than it had to. Both fighters were separated and escorted out of the arena with the presence of security by their side. Caleb Plant’s action didn’t go unnoticed as many people, including former UFC double champion Conor McGregor, took to social media to express their thoughts about the whole altercation.

‘The Notorious’ knows a thing or two about getting into scuffles with fellow fighters and competitors. Let us see what he had to say about Plant and Charlo’s showdown backstage during the undisputed welterweight title fight weigh-in.
