Canelo Alvarez (56-1-2, 38 KOs) will attempt to become undisputed super-middleweight champion on Saturday when he faces IBF champion Caleb Plant (21-0, 12 KOs) at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Canelo picked up the WBC and WBA belts back in December when he dominated Callum Smith. He then had a routine defence against Avni Yildirim and took the WBO belt from Billy Joe Saunders by stopping him in eight rounds.
Plant scored a minor upset over José Uzcategui to win the IBF belt in 2019 and defended it three times since then, although his competition in those defenses didn’t pose much of a threat.
