Canelo vs Plant - LIVE!
The iconic MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas witnessed the latest slice of boxing history on Saturday night.
The great Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez stopped rival Caleb Plant in the 11th round of a high-profile showdown to become the first ever undisputed super-middleweight champion of the world.
The Mexican superstar twice floored his impressive and awkward opponent in devastating fashion to produce the latest landmark victory of his illustrious 60-fight career, despite an oft-frustrating display that was some way short of his brilliant best.
Canelo is just the sixth male fighter to hold undisputed status since 1988 - following in the footsteps of Bernard Hopkins, Jermain Taylor, Terence Crawford, Josh Taylor and Oleksandr Usyk- and will now have his eyes fixed on fully conquering other divisions, having previously won world titles at four levels from light-middleweight through to light-heavy.
