Caleb Plant opens up on his fight against Canelo Alvarez
The unbeaten IBF super-middleweight champion will be in the spotlight on the night of November 6. Plant assured a small group of reporters prior to the Manny Pacquiao-Yordenis Ugas pay-per-view show Saturday night that he’ll handle his showdown with Canelo Alvarez accordingly.
“I mean, I’m willing and ready to take it wherever it has to go to get my hand raised,” Plant said when asked if he would welcome a “brutal” fight versus Alvarez. “But don’t be surprised if it’s easier than y’all think.”
It has been noted that Alvarez has defeated two previously unbeaten 168-pound champions – Brits Callum Smith (27-1, 19 KOs) and Billy Joe Saunders (30-1, 14 KOs) – in two of his past three fights. He owns the WBA, WBC and WBO titles and is eyeing to become the first fully unified super middleweight champion in boxing’s four-belt era. Oscar de la Hoya Reveals Drug Vitor Belfort Is Using
Plant, a Las Vegas resident raised in Ashland City, Tennessee, has taken offense to those that have questioned his odds of winning against Alvarez in their FOX Sports Pay-Per-View main event:
“I mean, I like my chances in any fight,” Plant said. “If I didn’t believe that I can win, y’all wouldn’t have these cameras in front of my face right now. And, you know, you guys have made plenty of fight predictions before and you guys have been wrong. But you know how many times I’ve been wrong? None.
“And ever since I started boxing, from my first tournament that I went to, people telling me what I can’t be, what I can be. You know, I don’t belong in this sport, I’m never gonna become a world champion. And it seems like the more people tell me I couldn’t, the more I believe in myself. And at this point, every comment or every time someone says that you can’t do it, I feel like I’m just even more right. You know what I’m saying? So, I’m just ready for the fight.”
