Boxers Canelo Alvarez and Caleb Plant, who are set to face each other on November 6, 2021, for the super Middleweight championship, failed to adhere to sportsmanship during their press conference on September 21. While promoting their upcoming fight, the boxers had a fallout on the stage that soon turned ugly with both of them landing blows on each other. The unexpected scuffle involved bitter cussing and fisticuffs until others stepped in to separate the two fighters.
