The Matchroom boss is backing Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez in his fight against Caleb Plant tomorrow night.

Matchroom boss Eddie Hearn has had his say on the upcoming fight between Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez and Caleb Plant for the undisputed super-middleweight championship of the world tomorrow night in Las Vegas.

Speaking to Fight Hub TV, Hearn believes Plant's inferior 21-fight resume makes him a huge underdog for the fight. 

"[Caleb Plant] never fought an elite fighter in his whole career. Show me one,” Hearn stated.

“I mean Caleb Truax, great guy, world class fighter, not an elite super middleweight. [Jose Uzcategui] good, not an elite super middleweight."

"But he’s a talent, he’s a great fighter, I just don’t think he can beat Canelo Alvarez. I really don’t."

The Canelo vs. Plant fight will not air on DAZN. However, The DAZN Boxing Show will be in Las Vegas during fight week for live episodes, exclusive interviews and more.
