The IBF super middleweight title is in Alvarez’s sights as he looks to become undisputed champion.

The contest comes to us from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday night.

The orthodox fighter from Tennessee has taken part in ten week preparations with the help of the unbeaten champion’s trainer Justin Gamber, detailed exclusively by SunSport.

Canelo, 31, comes into the fight off the back of a hugely successful 12 month period.

He has already fought – and won – three times in the past year.

The 5ft 9in Mexican has defeated Callum Smith, 31, Avni Yildirim, 30, and Billy Joe Saunders, 31 along the way.

Canelo is predicting good competition from Plant but says the American will be KO’d somewhere between the seventh and ninth rounds.

He says: “That’s why we are here and Saturday night, we are gonna make history.

“He’s a good fighter with a lot of skills, but he’s nothing new for me. I’ve been in there with a lot of good fighters, so it’s nothing different.

“I think in my opinion, it’s going to be seven to nine rounds.”
