It's a massive fight week in Sin City with all four recognized titles at 168 pounds on the line
The biggest name in boxing returns to the ring on Saturday with historic implications at play when pound-for-pound king and unified super middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez takes over the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
Alvarez (56-1-2, 38 KOs) will defend his WBA, WBO and WBC titles at 168 pounds against IBF champion Caleb Plant (21-0, 12 KOs) to crown the first undisputed champion in the division's history. The Showtime PPV event also gained more mainstream interest from a skirmish which broke out between fighters at the Sept. 22 press conference in Los Angeles, which left Plant with a cut below his right eye.
As we close in on fight night, let's take a look at the biggest storylines surrounding the Mexican icon's return.
