PLANT vs. CANELO L.A. PRESSER FOR NOV 6 FIGHT
PLANT vs. CANELO L.A. PRESSER FOR NOV 6 FIGHT. Caleb Plant, the champion of the middleweight division of the International Boxing Federation, and Canelo Alvarez, the challenger for that championship.
He met at a press conference at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California, on November 6, 2021, to promote their fight for the IBF title.
“There is only one thing that I know is more satisfying than proving people right, and that is proving them wrong. This is something I’ve been doing all of my life. As soon as I went onto the platform, people immediately began discussing what I am unable to do and what I am unable to perform. In the part of the world where I grew up, there was no boxing community. There was no other skilled individual to who I could go and say, “If he can do it, then I can do it too.” The only thing he had was my head and my heart said Plant, who will be making his fourth defense of his IBF title. In January of 2019, a native of Tennessee took home the title of champion.
Victory
Alvarez will attempt to win the middleweight title of the International Boxing Federation for a record-tying third time. Alvarez, who hails from Guadalajara, Mexico, initially attained the IBF title in September 2017 by virtue of a victory through a split decision over Gennady Golovkin. He subsequently regained the title in May 2019 by virtue of a victory via unanimous decision over Daniel Jacobs.
“I am aware of what steps I need to take, and I have a good understanding of him. He is an experienced fighter, but I am confident in my abilities. My years of experience are going to give me a leg up in this competition. Caleb’s style is one that I am familiar with because I have competed against Floyd Mayweather, Erislandy Lara, Austin Trout, and Billy Joe Saunders.”
Canelo will challenge Plant for the middleweight title on November 6, 2021, in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. The fight will be for the title of International Boxing Federation middleweight champion.
