When will Canelo & Plant make their ring-walks?
Canelo Alvarez has had some extravagant ring-walks this year and tonight’s against Caleb Plant will be just as lively.
The Mexican had reggaeton star J Balvin play his ring-walk music for his clash with Avni Yildirim, while a mariachi band played him out in his fights against Callum Smith and Billy Joe Saunders.
And this time you can probably expect something just as extravagant.

- With the walks set to be long and ring introductions and national anthems to be belted out, it’s likely the fight gets going closer to 5am.
- Timings are subject to change and will depend on how long the undercard lasts.
