Caleb Plant Believes He’s Worthy Of Canelo Alvarez Rematch

Caleb Plant says he is worthy of a rematch against Canelo Alvarez.

Plant and Alvarez fought in 2021 where the Mexican won by 11th-round stoppage. Since then, Plant knocked out Anthony Dirrell and lost by decision to David Benavidez.

Caleb Plant will now face Trevor McCumby on September 14, and if he wins, Plant believes he could get a rematch with Alvarez.

“With us getting moved to the Canelo card, it could spark those conversations for a rematch,” Plant told BoxingScene. “It doesn’t matter where they put me. They can put me in the parking lot and we can fight. As you know, I’m not just in it to get a payday. I’m coming to fight. And right now I’m focused on fighting Trevor, and I am excited to be part of a big event. Who knows how likely it is [I’ll get a Canelo rematch], but I feel that it’s worthy, especially since we had a competitive fight the first time. It was probably 6-4 the first time going into the 11th. I feel like it’s worthy. But I’ve never been the type of guy to beg for a fight.”

Caleb Plant points to his pay-per-view against Canelo Alvarez being a good seller, while the Mexican’s other fights haven’t sold well which is why he wants a rematch.

“He didn’t do that against Gennadiy Golovkin, Dmitry Bivol, or Jermell Charlo,” said Plant. “We’ve done some good numbers, and I feel that I’m a good sell in boxing. I have a big fan base and a lot of people tune in to watch me fight.”

Plant is 22-2 as a pro and coming off a decision loss to David Benavidez back in March. Before his first career loss to Alvarez, he had notable wins over Mike Lee, Rogelio Medina, Andrew Hernandez, and Caleb Traux among others.
