BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) – Canelo Álvarez and Caleb Plant traded blows at a press conference while promoting their upcoming super middleweight title unification fight.
Their exchange left Plant with a cut under his right eye.
Álvarez and Plant scrapped each other after exchanging verbal spades during the showdown ceremony before the press conference began in the Beverly Hilton Garden. The Mexican superstar knocked Plant down with a two-handed push, which was apparently in response to a comment from Plant about Álvarez’s mother.
Plant stepped forward and threw a left hook at Álvarez, who dodged it and threw an open left hand at Plant’s face.
