**LOS ANGELES** (September 21, 2021) – Boxing’s consensus No. 1 pund-for-pund kampfly, Mexican superstar and unified WBA/WBC/WBO Super Middleweight World Champion **Canelo Álvarez** and undefeated IBF Super Middleweight World Champion **Caleb “Sweethands” Plant** met for an intense stare down that turned into a scuffle Tuesday at a press conference previewing their historic and highly anticipated undisputed super middleweight championship showdown.

During an extended face-off that kicked off the event, the fighters exchanged words and threw glancing blows before their respective teams rushed the stage to separate the combatants, escalating a rivalry that will culminate on fight night in just over six weeks.

Canelo and Plant will battle on Saturday, November 6, live on SHOWTIME PPV at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas in a Premier Boxing Champions event, with the winner stamping his name in the history books as the first undisputed 168-pound world champion of the four-belt era.

Tickets for the live event are on sale now and can be purchased at AXS.com. The event is promoted by Canelo Promotions and TGB Promotions and sponsored by Hennessy and Value.

Eddy Reynoso, Canelo’s trainer and manager, and Justin Gamber, Plant’s trainer, joined their fighters on stage at the event in Beverly Hills. Here is what the press conference participants had to say Tuesday:

**CANELO ÁLVAREZ**

“You are not on my level and you will see on November 6. You don’t want to fight now, Jeg lover dig.

“We come from nothing and we worked hard to be here. For somebody to lie and talk trash about us, that upset Eddy. It is what it is though. We just have to show everyone who we are on November 6.

“Caleb might be on the same level as Billy Joe Saunders and Callum Smith, but he’s not on my level. I respect that he isn’t here to back down. You can see from today that this is definitely going to be a good fight.

“I know what I need to do and I know a lot about him. He’s a good fighter but I know my skills. My experience is going to give me the edge in the fight. I have faced similar styles to Caleb’s against Floyd Mayweather, Erislandy Lara, Austin Trout and Saunders.

“He’s an insecure person and that’s why he came with a lot of excuses about lots of things. I don’t care about it though. I’m just going to do my best on November 6 and win the fight.

“To be undisputed is history for Mexico and for everyone on my team. To be the undisputed champion is just a great thing for my career.

*On the on-stage scuffle:* “You can say whatever to me, but not to my mom. I’m going to fight anyone who says something about my mom. And he swung first. I just pushed him. He swung first, and I do what I do. He crossed the line.

“It will be over in eight rounds or less. I’m going to knock out this guy. Easy.”

**CALEB PLANT**

“I know only one thing better than proving people right, and that’s proving people wrong. I’ve been doing that my whole life. As soon as I stepped on the stage, people started talking about what I can’t accomplish and what I can’t do. Hvor jeg kommer fra, there is no boxing community. There was no other pro I could look to and say that if he can do it, then I can do it. All I had was my mind and my heart.

“I don’t do this to be famous or to get attention. When I first started, it was just me and my dad. No one thought I’d be standing here today. I can remember him and my grandfather scrounged up a little bit of money to open a little boxing gym. There was just one heavy bag hanging in the corner. But when you really want something, you don’t need all the fancy things. You just need your mind and your heart.

“I know that people don’t believe me when I tell them I’m winning on November 6. All those people who tell me that I can’t do something, you live believable lives and you do believable things. I promised myself that I was going to run this all the way to the top, with no problem crashing and burning along the way. I set out to live an unbelievable life and accomplish unbelievable things. Those people who doubt me are the very reason that I’m here.

“Miguel Cotto’s brother can make you do the chicken dance but I can’t? Okay. Mark my words, på November 6 you will hear the words, ‘And the new undisputed super middleweight champion,’ but you will also hear the words, ‘and still undefeated.’

“Being undisputed would mean a lot. I’ve sacrificed so much to this sport and I’ve been doing this a long time. All that work would come down to one moment. I want my name in those history books and that’s the only reason that I’m here.

*On the on-stage scuffle:* “We just had some normal back-and-forth banter up there and then whatever happened, happened. It’s none of my concern though. I’m focused and locked in on November 6.”

**EDDY REYNOSO, Canelo’s Trainer and Manager**

“I think this is going to be a great fight, one where we unify the 168-pound division. As we do with every fight, we’re going to work hard in the gym. We’ve always worked hard in the gym.

“I’m a little upset by how things turned out today, but in the end we will settle things in the ring on November 6.

“The offensive language is what offended us the most. We are respectful people, and we move forward from this with our heads held up high. Now we are going to train well, win the fight and see what comes next after that.

“There are a lot of people who say things on social media but then they don’t show up. Some people want to take down a whole country and a great athlete that represents his country. They talk a lot of trash. You need to work hard though. You need to have guts to work as hard as we do.”

**JUSTIN GAMBER, Plant’s Trainer**

“I want to thank our whole team for believing in us and getting us this fight that we wanted and this opportunity to make history. It’s been blood sweat and tears, bogstaveligt, to get here. Det har været en lang rejse. This fight is not about money, it’s about legacy.

“In 1996, when I was 15-years-old, my favorite fighter was the IBF Super Middleweight World Champion Roy Jones Jr. Every fan back then craved an undisputed champion at 168-pounds and now I train the IBF champion and we’re going to be fighting for all of the marbles.

“Tune in on November 6 and you will see the first undisputed super middleweight champion of the world and he’s from Tennessee. Anything that happened today at this press conference is going to drive us and give us more hunger.

**TOM BROWN, Formand for TGB Promotions**

“It took a couple of tries, but here we are today with the undisputed super middleweight championship on November 6. It’s a real pleasure to be working with our network partners at SHOWTIME for this event. SHOWTIME has a long history of being involved in the sports’ biggest and most important events and that continues with this fight.

“It’s an honor to be working with the pound-for-pound king Canelo Álvarez, Eddy Reynoso and everyone with Canelo Promotions. I’m also thrilled to be back working with everyone on team Plant. I promoted Caleb’s pro debut in 2014 and it’s great to see him up here today in this position.

“Canelo holds three titles, while Caleb owns the fourth title in the 168-pound division. They’ll battle to become the first undisputed champ in the four-belt era. History will be made on November 6 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.”

**STEPHEN ESPINOZA, Præsident, SHOWTIME Sports**

“2021 has been a phenomenal year for SHOWTIME Boxing. It’s one of our most prolific years in recent memory. SHOWTIME has delivered 17 live boxing events so far this year, with several more to come. Eight world championship fights, multiple world title unifications and now two fights for the undisputed title as a very good year for SHOWTIME becomes a great year for SHOWTIME. SHOWTIME is the home of big fights. It’s the most trusted and longest-tenured network in boxing. There is no other network making a more meaningful or more significant commitment to the sport of boxing. We are the home of boxing’s biggest and best fights.

“We are proud to welcome Canelo Álvarez back to SHOWTIME. We also welcome Caleb Plant for his SHOWTIME debut. It was almost nine years ago – September 15, 2012 – that Canelo made his debut on SHOWTIME in a thrilling fight against Josesito Lopez. Nine years is a long time. That was a very young Canelo Álvarez and a very young Eddy Reynoso. That started an impressive run of fights in which Canelo demonstrated his willingness, desire and demand to take the toughest fights available. Together back in 2013, we set a record at the time for the biggest pay-per-view of all time as we helped launch Canelo as boxing’s newest pay-per-view star. Now nine years later, we are proud to welcome him back for this mega fight.”

#3-**Phil Davis** (23-6) besejret **Yoel Romero** (13-6) via enstemmig afgørelse (30-27, 28-29, 30-26)

Phil Davis havde dette at sige efter sin sejr over Yoel Romero: ”For seks år siden, Jeg lavede min Bellator -debut lige her i San Jose, og jeg glemte absolut – det er en af mine største fejl nogensinde – Jeg glemte at opmuntre en af mine bedste venner, uddannelse partnere, værelseskammerater i Penn State. Han lå på hospitalet med kræft, og jeg glemte at opmuntre ham. Han endte med at tabe sin kamp med kræft. Nu, Jeg vil rette op på det øjeblik ved bare at sige, at min mor og far, der er enorme og er alt, hvad jeg ville ønske, en mor og far kunne være, er bare vidunderlige. September sidste år, to uger før min kamp med Lyoto Machida, min mor ringer til mig og fortæller, at hun har ondartet brystkræft, så hun måtte gå hen og tage sig af det. Præcis tre dage senere fortalte min far mig, at han havde aggressiv prostatakræft. Så to uger senere måtte jeg gå og kæmpe med dragen. Jeg var virkelig nødt til at grave dybt på en række måder, og jeg vil bare sige til min mor og far – ved Guds nåde er de her stadig, min mor er i mængden, min far er hjemme og stirrer på fjernsynet og græder – Jeg elsker jer, og jeg kan ikke gøre dette uden jer. I er fantastiske. ”

#4-**Neiman Gracie** (11-2) besejret **Mark Lemminger** (12-4) via TKO (punches) på 1:27 af runde én

Neiman Gracie gjorde det klart, hvem han vil have næste gang: »Jeg behøver ikke at tage folk ned for at vinde kampe længere. Jeg kan det hele, men hvis jeg tager dig ned, hold da op. Jeg så, at han lagde hovedet ned, så jeg kom med store bogstaver. Hvis du holder kampen stående, det er hospitalet. Hvis du går til jorden, det er kirkegården. Der er et par fyre, jeg vil kæmpe med. Jeg vil kæmpe mod MVP. Jeg har kaldt denne fyr ud for evigt, og kampen sker aldrig. De har altid en anden undskyldning. Jeg vil have min omkamp med Jason Jackson ... og jeg vil have Mr.. Yaroslav Amosov,, Jeg har det værste spil for ham, og jeg tror, jeg vil være den, der giver ham sit første tab. ”

**DeAnna Bennett** (11-7-1) besejret #5-**Alejandra Lara** (9-5) via enstemmig afgørelse (30-27, 30-26, 30-26)

DeAnna Bennett efter hendes enstemmige beslutningsejr: ”Jeg kan ikke beskrive for dig, hvordan jeg har det lige nu. Dette sted betyder alt for mig. Jeg er født og opvokset i bugten ... Jeg er så glad for at hun kæmper i dette bur for Bellator med alle disse fans her. Min far, han er med mig her ... Han vidste altid, at jeg ville kæmpe her og få hånden løftet i denne bygning. Jeg ville have den første runde så dårlig, men Alejandra, hun er så hård, så hård. Du kan ikke have en god kamp med kun én person. Begge kæmpere skal være store kæmpere for at få et godt show, så halvdelen af denne sejr tilhører hende for at komme ind i buret og være en god modstander og være villig til at lægge alt derude ligesom jeg gjorde. Jeg følte mig bedre i standup end jeg gjorde på jorden ... ærligt talt har meget af det arbejdet med min træner her Brian Wright (sp?) Her på Killer Bee. Jeg skylder ham denne genopblussen i min karriere, fordi han virkelig har hjulpet mig med at blive kampfly, blive velafrundede. Jeg har tidligere haft mange trænere, der har været som, “Hvis du ikke får en fjernelse, du vil ikke vinde en kamp ”godt, bom, ligner jeg lige har vundet en kamp. ”

**Saul Rogers** (15-4) besejret **Georgi Karakhanyan** (31-12-1, 1 NC) via enstemmig afgørelse (30-27, 30-26, 30-26)

Efter sejren, Saul Rogers havde dette at sige: ”Det føltes fantastisk. Jeg har dræbt mig selv for længe i forsøget på at skære ned på 145 og nu hvor jeg er rykket op, Jeg føler stærkere, Jeg føler mig mere dominerende. Jeg er altid god til guillotiner, men i aften, ingen af disse guillotiner var engang tæt på – Jeg var ikke i fare. Men knæet, han slog mig med en ren, og så kom den anden igennem ikke så ren, og jeg prøvede bare at forblive beskyttet. Men du som du så i kampen, Jeg havde et stort smil på læben. Jeg elsker den sh*t, du ved hvad jeg mener? Jeg føler mig kilometer bedre. I andre kampe, efter måske omkring to et halvt minut, mine hænder gassede, og jeg havde ikke noget at fortsætte med dengang. Jeg kontrollerede ham i tre runder, og jeg har det stadig godt. Enhver af disse krigere, der er på nippet og stadig dræber sig selv, tag det fra mig, flytte op, være sundere, være lykkeligere, have en længere karriere. Det er meget bedre. ”

**Ben Parrish** (5-1) besejrede#8-**Christian Edwards** (5-1) via KO (punches) på 0:38 af runde én

Ben Parrish efter hans chokerende knockout af Christian Edwards: ”Det føles godt at lukke mange mennesker inde, mand det er alt hvad jeg vil sige. Jeg fortalte det til min chef, Casey, Hjem igen, Jeg slår ham ud med en venstre krog. Hvad sagde jeg? Få det ikke snoet, alle finder en undskyldning for at kaste salt på mig – hey, det er ikke held, det er forberedelse, Baby. Hvis jeg ikke kan gøre det med seks måneders træning, slå ham, ingen ville slå ham. ”
