Canelo Alvarez Sends a Chilling Message to Caleb Plant: ‘I’m Coming My Friend’

Canelo Alvarez proved his worth as the best super-middleweight in the world yet again. The multi-weight world champion showed his class with another victory, this time over fellow champion Billy Joe Saunders. And the Mexican had a clear message for Caleb Plant after the fight.

Alvarez and Saunders fought as the main event of an exciting card and the fight lived up to expectations. The two champions treated fans to an incredibly technical fight which Alvarez won thanks to a right uppercut which caused Saunders’ eye to swell.

After the fight, the 56-1-2 boxer spoke to Chris Mannix in his post-fight interview. About his next move, Alvarez addressed the Caleb Plant rumors. He said, “That’s the plan. That’s the plan to go for the belt. And, I’m coming man, I’m coming my friend.”

This showed the champion’s history to etch his name in boxing history. Alvarez also showed his desperation for the fight when he said, “I hope so. I hope that fight [is] made easy and then give the fans the first undisputed [super-middleweight champion] in the history.”

“I’m coming, my friend!”
