Witnesses claim that after the altercation, Plant yelled at Charlo, warning him not to provoke him again. The intensity of the confrontation left many wondering what sparked the animosity between the two fighters.

Adding further intrigue to the mix, it was revealed that Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez, the renowned Mexican boxer, is set to face Jermell Charlo, the twin brother of the slapped boxer, on September 30 in Las Vegas.

Some speculate that this upcoming bout could serve as a precursor to a potential rematch between Plant and Charlo, as the latter seeks to avenge his brother's perceived inevitable defeat against Canelo.

With emotions running high in the boxing world, fans eagerly await the outcome of both the Spence-Crawford showdown and the future confrontations involving Plant and Charlo, hoping for thrilling matches that will live up to the hype of being the best in 2023.
