Canelo Álvarez, Caleb Plant Throw Punches in Press Conference Ahead of Fight

Things got real heated on stage between Canelo Álvarez and Caleb Plant.

Tension was high as the two stood eye to eye during a press conference to promote the super middleweight title unifier on Tuesday. Things escalated when Álvarez pushed Plant, who slightly lost his balance.

After Plant gained his balance, he walked forward and slapped Álvarez with his left hand. However, Álvarez dodged the slap by ducking and then initiated a pair of slaps of his own before the security officials stepped in to break everything up.

It is safe to say Álvarez landed a couple of strikes to Plant's face, which left a clear mark under his right eye.
