      MUTUAL RESPECT
      Kamara Usman and Colby Covington were mocked by the referee after embracing at the end of their five-round war at UFC 268.
      Usman and Covington exchanged words of encouragement to one another inside the octagon, before referee Dan Miragliotta praised them for their sportsmanship.
      The ref said: “Ahh, I like that. Good job gentlemen. Much respect, much respect.”
      The two fighters then came together once more and hugged out their animosity, receiving a round of applause from the Madison Square Garden crowd in the process.
      This time, however, Miragliotta could not help making fun of the pair’s decision to embrace in the ring.
      He added: “Alright go kiss later. Go back to your corners! Go.”
      PLANT WELL
      Caleb Plant was praised for his valiant effort against Canelo Alvarez despite losing the clash by a bunch of fighters.
      Danny Garcia said: “Congrats to Canelo, he closed the show like a true champ. Respect to Plant.”
      Joseph Diaz added: “What a fight, Canelo always closes! Respect to both fighters. Plant put on a great fight.
      “We’re witnessing true greatness what Canelo is doing in his career.”
      And Jamel Herring chipped in saying: “Shout out to my guy @SweetHandsPlant for putting up a good effort.”
      NOT A WHITE IDEA
      UFC boss Dana White has warned Kamaru Usman to stay away from Canelo Alvarez.
      Both fighters won their fights last night in their different categories with Usman beating Covington in the UFC, and Alvarez disposing of Plant in the boxing ring.
      Usman’s been flirting with the idea to take on Alvarez in a cross-sport bout to cement his legacy, but after watching both fights, White doesn’t think that would be a good idea.
      He said: “I watched the Canelo fight tonight.
      “He [Usman] don’t want to fight Canelo, he don’t want to fight Canelo. Come on, man. Let’s stop this s**t. If Canelo wants to come over here, awesome fight.
      “Those two put on an incredible performance (tonight).”
      CANELO’S THE BEST
      Canelo Alvarez has been labelled the best boxer in the world at the moment after his win over Caleb Plant.
      The praise was led by Manny Pacquiao who said: “Congratulations to the pound-for-pound king, Canelo, on making boxing history as the first undisputed super middleweight champion ever.
      “Plant put up a great fight but Canelo is just too good. Boxing is in great hands”‘
      Devin Haney, who takes on Joseph Diaz next, also chimed in, stating: “Canelo is the best mf fighter in the world! Period.”
      YouTuber-turned boxer Jake Paul also added to the mix, jokingly stating that he is thinking of signing Canelo to his Most Valuable Promotions label.
      PLANT APOLOGY
      Canelo Alvarez revealed that Caleb Plant apologised to him after their fight last night.
      Things had got heated in the lead-up to their bout which ended in and Alvarez win, but after the slug-fest, Plant let Alvarez know that he meant no harm.
      Speaking after his win, Alvarez said: “He told me after the fight that he wanted to keep fighting, that he wanted to continue.
      “And he also apologised to me and said what he said about my mother, he didn’t really mean it and that he was truly sorry for that.
      “I told him: ‘Look, it’s ok, it is water under the bridge.’
      “I told him he is a great man and I told him one day I hope he has a great family as well. I only wish the best for him.”
      WHITE’S ALL RIGHT
      Dana White won a staggering $100,000 (£74k) bet after Canelo Alvarez’s stunning KO of Caleb Plant, writes TOBY GANNON.
      The UFC chief – who oversaw a stacked card in which Kamaru Usman beat Colby Covington – placed the huge wager on the P4P king before their super-middleweight undisputed world title fight in Las Vegas.
      And it was quids in for White, who walked away with $41k (£30k) after backing the Mexican to win by knock-out.
      Canelo, 31, struggled throughout the fight but sent Plant crashing to the canvas in the 11th round.
      He is now the first-ever undisputed super-middleweight champion in history – and has banked at least £30m for his troubles.
      And White is a whole lot richer for it, too.
      The 52-year-old – who watched the fight on TV while sitting in the front row at UFC 268 – admits he is a ‘degenerate’ gambler having lost a $1MILLION (£741k) boxing bet in 2007.
      APOLOGY
      Caleb Plant apologised to Canelo for insulting his mum.
      The American did so during their post-fight embrace – Canelo told him: “We are men, everything is OK – we keep going.”

      KING CANELO
      Canelo is the undisputed super middleweight champion. One of the greats!

      CANELO RETURN
      Canelo says he plans to have a rest now after four fights in 10 and a half months.
      And the Mexican star says he will be back in action in May to rest his body.

      TYSON CONFIRMS FEB DATE
      Mike Tyson took his seat for the undisputed blockbuster between Canelo Alvarez and Caleb Plant – and CONFIRMED he will box again in February.
      Iron Mike was a fixture in Fight Week for the super-middleweight scrap, so it was no surprise to see him ringside in Las Vegas.
      While being interviewed by Showtime, the 55-year-old said: “God willing I’ll fight again in February.”
      SunSport exclusively revealed that was the former heavyweight champion’s plan – and he wants a ‘really stimulating opponent’.
      And in an exclusive interview with The Sun, Iron Mike opened up about who he could fight next, amid claims it could be either Logan or Jake Paul.
      CANELO VS USMAN?
      UFC star Kamaru Usman retained his welterweight strap tonight against Colby Covington.
      And UFC chief Dana White has spoken about a potential super-fight in the future…
      White said on Usman vs Canelo: “I watched the Canelo fight tonight. He don’t want to fight Canelo.
      “He don’t want to fight Canelo. Come on, man. Let’s stop this s***. If Canelo wants to come over here, let’s do it.
      “He don’t wanna box Canelo.”

      Massive effort from Plant, who won some of the opening rounds but pressure proved too much.
      Plant was wobbled with a left hook and right uppercut combination with a left hand for good measure on the end. Made it to his feet on unsteady legs.
      Canelo, a fearsome finisher, smelt blood and rushed Plant, letting his hands go and punching his opponent into the ropes.
      It was then the referee rightfully waved it off.

      Canelo lets his hands go but Plant comes back with his own work, exactly what he needs to do.

      BENN BACKS…
      WBA Continental Welterweight champion Conor Benn is backing Canelo to stop Plant tonight, but suggests that the American shouldn’t be underestimated.
      Benn said: “You guys have been asking for my prediction and my prediction is Alvarez between 8 and 11 for a stoppage.
      “But I wouldn’t write Caleb Plant off. If anyone can beat Alvarez, Plant definitely has the skillset to do so.”
      Benn signed a new five-year deal with Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom back in July and is 19-0 with 12 knockouts.

      HEARN BACKS CANELO
      “It’s a good fight. Caleb Plant is an exceptional fighter. He’s a great mover, has good fundamentals; I just don’t see him beating Canelo Alvarez. I’ve been watching boxing for 33 years live and I’ve never seen anything like him,” the Matchroom chief said.
      “And I’ve watched [Floyd] Mayweather live, Mike Tyson, Prince Nassem Hamed, Joe Calzaghe, I’ve watched great Brits, Mexican fighters, I’ve watched [Manny Pacquiao], I’ve watched [Juan Manuel] Marquez – I’ve seen all these guys live and I’ve never seen anything like Canelo Alvarez.
      “Plant has a chance because he’s a world class fighter. He’s a brilliant fighter, he’s always got a chance, but something has to go wrong [for Canelo[, you know what I mean?
      “If you get the best Canelo Alvarez against the best Caleb Plant, Canelo Alvarez wins 10 times out of 10.”

      WARD PICKS PLANT
      Andre Ward has been helping Caleb Plant throughout training camp and is backing his pal to beat Canelo Alvarez tonight.
      “I’m not a believer when you face a guy that’s powerful or a guy that’s supposed to have punching power you’re [supposed to] avoid him and being perfect for 12 [rounds],” he said.
      “Like, I don’t believe in that. Like, I like to go rattle their cage. In fact, you gotta rattle the cage.
      “What I mean by that is that sometimes you gotta [sic] go to that power and smother it.
      “You gotta let them know, whoever it is, hey, you can get hurt, too.
      “Caleb is a guy that has more power than they realize.
      “I think he’s physically strong. I just think it’s always crazy until you do it. It’s easy for fans to choose – the easy pick is Canelo because of his history and everything he accomplished.
      “But I’ll support Caleb, win, lose, or draw. But I think he has a great opportunity to go out there and shock the world. He just needs to put his mental on and make it happen.”
      PLANT 🗣
      Plant said: “I know only one thing better than proving people right, and that’s proving people wrong. I’ve been doing that my whole life. As soon as I stepped on the stage, people started talking about what I can’t accomplish and what I can’t do.
      “Where I come from, there is no boxing community. There was no other pro I could look to and say that if he can do it, then I can do it. All I had was my mind and my heart.
      “I don’t do this to be famous or to get attention. When I first started, it was just me and my dad. No one thought I’d be standing here today.”
      RESPECT
      Boxing legend Mike Tyson was in attendance at the weigh-in between Canelo and Plant last night.
      When asked what it means to have Tyson there to watch him fight, Canelo spoke of his admiration for the youngest boxer ever to win a heavyweight title.
      He said: “It means a lot, he was a great fighter, a legend. I want to be like him one day, so it means a lot.”
      Tyson also posed for photos with Canelo and his daughter, who was also present at the weigh-in and matched her father in a yellow silk outfit adorned with the Mexican flag.

      TALE OF THE TAPE

      TIMINGS ⏰
      Canelo Alvarez’s big fight with Caleb Plant will take place on Saturday, November 6 – TONIGHT!
      The fight will emanate from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
      There should be close to 15,000 fans in attendance at the huge event.
      Canelo vs Plant will get underway in the early hours of Sunday, November 7 for fans in the UK, with ring-walks set for around 4am GMT.
      MAIN CARD 📋

      Canelo Alvarez vs Caleb Plant – super-middleweight
      Anthony Dirrell vs Marcos Hernandez – super-middleweight
      Rey Vargas vs Leonardo Baez – super bantamweight
      Elvis Rodriguez vs Juan Pablo Romero – super-lightweight

      THE PERFECT PUNCH
      BT Sport have posted a clip on their Twitter account revisiting Canelo’s incredible sixth round KO against Amir Khan back in 2016.
      Alvarez beat Khan comfortably to claim his 47th professional win and retain his WBC and The Ring middleweight titles.
      The blow has been called ‘the perfect punch’ and left the Brit looking well and truly dazed on the canvas at the T-Mobile Arena, unable to continue.
      The KO is a perfect example of Canelo’s danger as a ‘counterpuncher’, catching Khan with a formidable blow just as he was gearing up for a swing of his own.
      Canelo Alvarez’s KO of Amir Khan is iconic 📸It’s been called a perfect punch 👊It’s downright terrifying 😳It’s even better in slow-mo 😱#CaneloPlant | Tonight | BT Sport Box Office pic.twitter.com/MXoHwGYrxe— Boxing on BT Sport 🥊 (@BTSportBoxing) November 6, 2021

      CANELO 🗣
      The Mexican is supremely confident this week.
      Alvarez has said: “You are not on my level and you will see on November 6. You don’t want to fight now, I promise you.
      “We come from nothing and we worked hard to be here. For somebody to lie and talk trash about us, that upset Eddy. It is what it is though. We just have to show everyone who we are on November 6.
      “Caleb might be on the same level as Saunders and Smith, but he’s not on my level. I respect that he isn’t here to back down. You can see from today that this is definitely going to be a good fight.”
      CANELO’S PLANS 🤔
      Assuming Alvarez beats Plant and ends his streak with all four 168lbs belts in his grasp, the opportunities to have mega-fights from thereon would be near endless.
      Alvarez is a huge star in the U.S. and Mexico and can continue to fight on pay-per-view, as a free agent, for the rest of his career, if he wanted.
      If Alvarez were to stick around with PBC and Showtime for a while, a big-money fight with Jermall Charlo, the current WBC middleweight champion, would make sense.
      There’s also former champion at super-middleweight and rising star David Benavidez to possibly contend with.
      With DAZN, however, there’s still a potential trilogy fight with Golovkin to explore, with the Kazakh fighter still feeling begrudged about the results in their first two fights.
      Otherwise Alvarez could revisit the light-heavyweight division, where’s previously been the WBO champion after beating Kovalev in 2019.
      Current WBC and IBF champ Artur Beterbiev would arguably represent the toughest test of Alvarez’s career, as he boasts a menacing 100% KO ratio, the only titleholder in boxing to have that under his belt.
      Or there’s WBA champion Dimitry Bivol, a route that seems the more likely, given his relationship with promoter Eddie Hearn, whom Alvarez is closely aligned with.
      TITLE FIGHT NO. 19
      Canelo will take part in his 19th world title fight tonight against Caleb Plant and has a very impressive record so far.
      The 31-year-old Mexican has only ever lost one title fight, which was against Floyd Mayweather Jr. in 2013.
      The solitary draw came against Gennady Golovkin in 2017.
      But Canelo won the rematch a year later to claim the WBA (Super), WBC, and The Ring middleweight titles.
      He has since defended his belts on six occasions, most recently against Billy Joe Saunders in May this year.

      HOW TO WATCH 📺
      Alvarez’s clash with Plant will be shown live on BT Sport Box Office in the UK.

      GOOD EVENING!
      Hello there and welcome to SunSport’s coverage of Canelo Alvarez vs Caleb Plant – the winner of which will claim the undisputed crown in the super-middleweight division tonight.
      Alvarez was last in action back in May, when he TKO’d Billy Joe Saunders in the 8th round of their title clash in Texas.
      Plant has had to wait a little longer for this fight, having not fought since January, when he outpointed Caleb Truax.
      The Nashville fighter won his first world title in 2019, beating Venezuelan Jose Uzcategui, and has since defended it three times.
      Alvarez is on a hot streak of wins following his draw with Gennady Golovkin back in 2017.
      He’s since beaten Golovkin, Rocky Fielding, Daniel Jacobs, Sergey Kovalev, Callum Smith, Avni Yildirim and Saunders, becoming a four-weight world champion in the process.
      Plant’s IBF title at 168lbs represents the final piece of Alvarez’s jigsaw, which could see the Mexican crowned as his country’s first ever undisputed champion.
      Alvarez and Plant had originally planned to clash back in September, but negotiations fell through before a solution was found weeks later.
      The fight will be held on Showtime pay-per-view in the U.S., which will be the first time Alvarez hasn’t fought on DAZN stateside since 2018.
      A win for either fighter would crown the second undisputed champion in 2021, after Josh Taylor picked up all the belts at 140lbs in his win over Jose Ramirez back in May.
      So sit back and relax, we’ve got you covered this evening and all throughout the night.

      Canelo Alvarez vs Caleb Plant: UK start time, live stream, TV channel, undercard for super-middleweight fight THIS WEEK

      by

      CANELO ALAVREZ returns to the ring against Caleb Plant in a massive super-middleweight undisputed title fight THIS WEEKEND.Alvarez was last in action back in May, when he TKO’d Billy Joe Saunders in the 8th round of their title clash in Texas.

      Plant has had to wait a little longer for this fight, having not fought since January, when he outpointed Caleb Truax.
      The Nashville fighter won his first world title in 2019, beating Venezuelan Jose Uzcategui, and has since defended it three times.
      Alvarez is on a hot streak of wins following his draw with Gennady Golovkin back in 2017.
      He’s since beaten Golovkin, Rocky Fielding, Daniel Jacobs, Sergey Kovalev, Callum Smith, Avni Yildirim and Saunders, becoming a four-weight world champion in the process.
      Plant’s IBF title at 168lbs represents the final piece of Alvarez’s jigsaw, which could see the Mexican crowned as his country’s first ever undisputed champion.
      Alvarez and Plant had originally planned to clash back in September, but negotiations fell through before a solution was found weeks later.
      The fight will be held on Showtime pay-per-view in the U.S., which will be the first time Alvarez hasn’t fought on DAZN stateside since 2018.
      A win for either fighter would crown the second undisputed champion in 2021, after Josh Taylor picked up all the belts at 140lbs in his win over Jose Ramirez back in May.
      When is Canelo vs Plant?

      Canelo Alvarez’s big fight with Caleb Plant will take place on Saturday, November 6.
      The fight will emanate from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
      There should be close to 15,000 fans in attendance at the huge event.
      Canelo vs Plant will get underway in the early hours of Sunday, November 7 for fans in the UK, with ring-walks set for around 4am GMT.

      What channel is it and can it be live streamed?

      Alvarez’s clash with Plant will be shown live on BT Sport Box Office in the UK.
      You can live stream the action from the BT Sport Box Office app, which is available for download onto your mobile or tablet device.
      The event will set you back £19.95.

      Canelo vs Plant FULL CARD

      Canelo Alvarez vs Caleb Plant – super-middleweight
      Anthony Dirrell vs Marcos Hernandez – super-middleweight
      Rey Vargas vs Leonardo Baez – super bantamweight
      Elvis Rodriguez vs Juan Pablo Romero – super-lightweight

      What has been said?
      Alvarez said: “You are not on my level and you will see on November 6. You don’t want to fight now, I promise you.
      “We come from nothing and we worked hard to be here. For somebody to lie and talk trash about us, that upset Eddy. It is what it is though. We just have to show everyone who we are on November 6.
      “Caleb might be on the same level as Saunders and Smith, but he’s not on my level. I respect that he isn’t here to back down. You can see from today that this is definitely going to be a good fight.”
      Plant said: “I know only one thing better than proving people right, and that’s proving people wrong. I’ve been doing that my whole life. As soon as I stepped on the stage, people started talking about what I can’t accomplish and what I can’t do.
      “Where I come from, there is no boxing community. There was no other pro I could look to and say that if he can do it, then I can do it. All I had was my mind and my heart.
      “I don’t do this to be famous or to get attention. When I first started, it was just me and my dad. No one thought I’d be standing here today.”

      Who could Canelo Alvarez fight after Caleb Plant?
      Assuming Alvarez beats Plant and ends his streak with all four 168lbs belts in his grasp, the opportunities to have mega-fights from thereon would be near endless.
      Alvarez is a huge star in the U.S. and Mexico and can continue to fight on pay-per-view, as a free agent, for the rest of his career, if he wanted.
      If Alvarez were to stick around with PBC and Showtime for a while, a big-money fight with Jermall Charlo, the current WBC middleweight champion, would make sense.
      There’s also former champion at super-middleweight and rising star David Benavidez to possibly contend with.
      With DAZN, however, there’s still a potential trilogy fight with Golovkin to explore, with the Kazakh fighter still feeling begrudged about the results in their first two fights.
      Otherwise Alvarez could revisit the light-heavyweight division, where’s previously been the WBO champion after beating Kovalev in 2019.
      Current WBC and IBF champ Artur Beterbiev would arguably represent the toughest test of Alvarez’s career, as he boasts a menacing 100% KO ratio, the only titleholder in boxing to have that under his belt.
      Or there’s WBA champion Dimitry Bivol, a route that seems the more likely, given his relationship with promoter Eddie Hearn, whom Alvarez is closely aligned with. More

      Chantelle Cameron beats Mary McGee on points to become unified champion… and will now challenge for undisputed gold

      by

      CHANTELLE CAMERON was crowned unified light-welterweight champion after beating Mary McGee – and puts herself one win away from undisputed glory. Cameron saw off McGee over ten rounds, in what was promoted to headliner at the O2 Arena after Dillian Whyte pulled out of fighting Otto Wallin with a shoulder injury. 
      Chantelle Cameron was crowned unified champion after beating Mary McGeeCredit: Mark Robinson Matchroom Boxing
      She added the IBF and Ring Magazine titles to her collection while making sure her WBC belt went back home with her to Northampton. 
      Cameron will now await the winner between Kali Reis, 35, and Jessica Camara, 33, where the WBO and WBA titles will be on the line on November 19. 
      But the British star has no preference who prevails, but was quick to praise rugged McGee after ten frantic rounds. 
      Camerson said: “She was tough, she took some shots, I always thought she’d be tough and powerful, she’s a really tough girl.  
      “It doesn’t matter who I face next I’m taking the belts anyway.
      “It feels amazing, thank you Eddie, thank you to all the fans for supporting me.”

      Cameron, 30, was the slicker operator throughout, often managing to walk McGee, 35, onto shots, as the American did not stop coming forward.  
      She chose to box the majority of the fight on the back foot, controlling it with her jab, but put enough distance between herself and McGee as the more accurate puncher. 
      Cameron landed the more eye-catching shots during the action, with both her left hook and right hands.
      McGee to her credit did not stop coming forward even until the final bell, but was outclassed as she was beaten on points by a verdict of 100-90, 99-91, and 99-92.

      Canelo Alvarez vs Caleb Plant: UK start time, date, live stream, TV channel, undercard for HUGE super-middleweight clash

      by

      CANELO ALAVREZ returns to the ring against Caleb Plant in a massive super-middleweight undisputed title fight.Alvarez was last in action back in May, when he TKO’d Billy Joe Saunders in the 8th round of their title clash in Texas.

      Plant has had to wait a little longer for this fight, having not fought since January, when he outpointed Caleb Truax.
      The Nashville fighter won his first world title in 2019, beating Venezuelan Jose Uzcategui, and has since defended it three times.
      Alvarez is on a hot streak of wins following his draw with Gennady Golovkin back in 2017.
      He’s since beaten Golovkin, Rocky Fielding, Daniel Jacobs, Sergey Kovalev, Callum Smith, Avni Yildirim and Saunders, becoming a four-weight world champion in the process.
      Plant’s IBF title at 168lbs represents the final piece of Alvarez’s jigsaw, which could see the Mexican crowned as his country’s first ever undisputed champion.
      Alvarez and Plant had originally planned to clash back in September, but negotiations fell through before a solution was found weeks later.
      The fight will be held on Showtime pay-per-view in the U.S., which will be the first time Alvarez hasn’t fought on DAZN stateside since 2018.
      A win for either fighter would crown the second undisputed champion in 2021, after Josh Taylor picked up all the belts at 140lbs in his win over Jose Ramirez back in May.
      When is Canelo vs Plant?

      Canelo Alvarez’s big fight with Caleb Plant will take place on Saturday, November 6.
      The fight will emanate from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
      There should be close to 15,000 fans in attendance at the huge event.
      Canelo vs Plant will get underway in the early hours of Sunday, November 7 for fans in the UK, with ring-walks set for around 4am GMT.

      What channel is it and can it be live streamed?

      Alvarez’s clash with Plant will be shown live on BT Sport Box Office in the UK.
      You can live stream the action from the BT Sport Box Office app, which is available for download onto your mobile or tablet device.
      The event will set you back £19.95.

      Canelo vs Plant FULL CARD

      Canelo Alvarez vs Caleb Plant – super-middleweight
      Anthony Dirrell vs Marcos Hernandez – super-middleweight
      Rey Vargas vs Leonardo Baez – super bantamweight
      Elvis Rodriguez vs Juan Pablo Romero – super-lightweight

      What has been said?
      Alvarez said: “You are not on my level and you will see on November 6. You don’t want to fight now, I promise you.
      “We come from nothing and we worked hard to be here. For somebody to lie and talk trash about us, that upset Eddy. It is what it is though. We just have to show everyone who we are on November 6.
      “Caleb might be on the same level as Saunders and Smith, but he’s not on my level. I respect that he isn’t here to back down. You can see from today that this is definitely going to be a good fight.”
      Plant said: “I know only one thing better than proving people right, and that’s proving people wrong. I’ve been doing that my whole life. As soon as I stepped on the stage, people started talking about what I can’t accomplish and what I can’t do.
      “Where I come from, there is no boxing community. There was no other pro I could look to and say that if he can do it, then I can do it. All I had was my mind and my heart.
      “I don’t do this to be famous or to get attention. When I first started, it was just me and my dad. No one thought I’d be standing here today.”

      Who could Canelo Alvarez fight after Caleb Plant?
      Assuming Alvarez beats Plant and ends his streak with all four 168lbs belts in his grasp, the opportunities to have mega-fights from thereon would be near endless.
      Alvarez is a huge star in the U.S. and Mexico and can continue to fight on pay-per-view, as a free agent, for the rest of his career, if he wanted.
      If Alvarez were to stick around with PBC and Showtime for a while, a big-money fight with Jermall Charlo, the current WBC middleweight champion, would make sense.
      There’s also former champion at super-middleweight and rising star David Benavidez to possibly contend with.
      With DAZN, however, there’s still a potential trilogy fight with Golovkin to explore, with the Kazakh fighter still feeling begrudged about the results in their first two fights.
      Otherwise Alvarez could revisit the light-heavyweight division, where’s previously been the WBO champion after beating Kovalev in 2019.
      Current WBC and IBF champ Artur Beterbiev would arguably represent the toughest test of Alvarez’s career, as he boasts a menacing 100% KO ratio, the only titleholder in boxing to have that under his belt.
      Or there’s WBA champion Dimitry Bivol, a route that seems the more likely, given his relationship with promoter Eddie Hearn, whom Alvarez is closely aligned with. More
