Photo: Caleb Plant (Instagram) Caleb Plant caused a stir after knocking out Anthony Dirrell in October 2022. Plant, coming off his first career loss to Canelo Alvarez , was determined to make a statement. After a heated buildup filled with trash talk, Plant delivered a brutal knockout in the ninth round. As Dirrell lay on the canvas, Plant pretended to dig his grave with an imaginary shovel—a celebration inspired by a video game. The act upset many in the boxing world because of the dangers fighters face in the ring. Even the referee tried to stop him, but Plant kept going. Commentators on the fight expressed concern, saying, "Oh no, don't do that." In his post-fight interview, Plant explained the gesture. He referenced Dirrell's comments about not losing to a "white boy" and said, "Skin color doesn’t win fights, skills do."

Photo: Canelo Alvarez (Instagram) Boxing fans are excited as Canelo Alvarez prepares for another fight, this time against Edgar Berlanga. The fight will take place soon, and Berlanga has been talking a lot to try to shake Alvarez's confidence. In May, Canelo had a big win against fellow Mexican fighter Jaime Munguia. Many fans were hoping that Canelo would fight David Benavidez next, but it looks like he has other plans. Some have even mentioned the idea of Canelo facing Terence Crawford . However, in a recent interview, Alvarez hinted that he might be more interested in a rematch against Dmitry Bivol. Photo: Canelo Alvarez (Instagram) Bivol defeated Alvarez in May 2022, when Canelo moved up to the light heavyweight division. Although Canelo has fought at that weight before, Bivol proved to be a tough challenge. Bivol is scheduled to fight Artur Beterbiev in October. If Bivol wins, it could set the stage for a rematch with Canelo. For now, Canelo is focused on his upcoming fight ...

Photo: Instagram/Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez , the undisputed super-middleweight champion, has finally shown interest in fighting David Benavidez . Many fans believe Benavidez might be the best fighter in the division, but Canelo has been dismissive, saying Benavidez isn’t on his radar and should fight at a higher weight. In an interview with Fight Hub TV, Canelo said he would fight Benavidez tomorrow if the money was right. He mentioned needing an offer of $150-$200 million to make the fight happen. “Maybe it’s one of the biggest fights, who knows. But you know, he brings nothing to the table for me, just 25 lbs on the night of the fight,” Canelo said. Photo: Instagram/Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez Benavidez, tired of waiting for a shot at Canelo, moved up to light-heavyweight and won a unanimous decision against former champion Oleksandr Gvozdyk in Las Vegas on June 15. Now, Benavidez must decide whether to move back down and push for a mandatory fight...

Photo: Instagram/David Benavidez   Jose Benavidez Sr. has revealed that his son David will be prepared to step in as a replacement for Jermell Charlo in his upcoming fight against Canelo Alvarez if Charlo gets injured during training. However, Jose Sr. doesn't believe Canelo would accept David as a substitute. Despite this, they want to be prepared just in case. Jose Sr. seems desperate, but it is unlikely that David will ever get the opportunity to face Canelo. Training as a backup for Jermell's potential injury won't benefit Jose Sr. or David in their quest for a fight against Canelo. Their attempts at being polite and complimentary to Canelo are futile, as the numerous insults and trash talk they have hurled at him in the past won't be easily forgotten. Photo: Instagram/David Benavidez The real reason Canelo won't fight David is something fans can only speculate about, but it remains clear that all the talk from the Benavidez camp is secondary to that primary r...

Photo: Instagram/Caleb Plant During the press conference for their upcoming fight on March 25th, Caleb Plant exposed David Benavidez for using a scripted speech. Plant, feigning anger, revealed that Benavidez had read his entire speech from his phone, which was unnecessary as the fans already knew his intentions to beat Plant and earn a fight against Canelo Alvarez. Benavidez's reliance on a prepared speech rather than speaking extemporaneously caused him to appear scripted and insincere. Photo: Instagram/Caleb Plant  This revelation may have a long-lasting impact on Benavidez's reputation. It is troubling that Benavidez came to the press conference with a prepared speech as if he were running for political office. It was apparent to many boxing fans that the things he said were topics he had discussed before, making the use of a prepared speech unnecessary. It is hoped that in the next press conference, Benavidez will speak from the heart and not rely on a scripted speech. Des...

Photo: Instagram/David Benavidez David Benavidez, the WBC interim super middleweight champion, has accused Caleb Plant of requesting a larger ring for their upcoming fight on March 25th on Showtime PPV. Benavidez believes Plant wants the bigger ring to give him more room to move around during the fight, but he plans on cutting off the ring and forcing Plant into a war that he predicts will end in a knockout victory for himself. Benavidez has been in training camp for 2.5 months, as he initially prepared for a fight with Jose Uzcategui before switching his focus to Plant. Photo: Instagram/David Benavidez  However, Benavidez acknowledges the possibility of overtraining and being drained from overwork by the time of the fight. He has been sparring 12 rounds with four different sparring partners for the last two weeks. Read Next: Joel Embiid Brings Back DX Celebration, Kevin Durant Not Amused Source: Boxing News
