What platforms can I watch Canelo vs Plant?

The top pound-for-pound boxer on the planet returns to the ring on Saturday night, with Saul "Canelo" Alvarez looking to add yet another accomplishment to his already incredible resume. Alvarez will take on Caleb Plant in a four-belt super middleweight unification bout. The action goes down from MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas and airs live on Showtime pay-per-view.

Alvarez has ripped through the 168-pound division -- all within the last 12 months. The Mexican superstar has three massive wins since December 2020 over Callum Smith by decision, Avni Yilidirim by easy stoppage in February and Billy Joe Saunders in May. If successful on Saturday, Alvarez has discussed moving back up to 175 pounds to challenge the champions there as well. Plant, meanwhile, has fought just once in the last 12 months when he picked up a decision win over Caleb Truax in January.

"I've faced many good fighters with skills that are similar to Caleb. It's a style that I've seen before and I know what to do with it. That just gives me confidence in my experience heading into this fight," Alvarez said at the final press conference. "I always train 100% my hardest and for the style of my opponent. I like that idea that Caleb is coming in believing he will win this fight. It's going to make it more exciting for the fans.

Elsewhere on the card, former super middleweight champion Anthony Dirrell returns to take on Marcos Hernandez. Dirrell, 37, took home a draw in February against Kyrone Davis in his first fight since a TKO loss to David Benavidez in September 2019 where he lost his WBC title. Plus, Rey Vargas is back in his first fight in more than two years after suffering a broken leg in July 2019. And rising prospect Elvis Rodriguez is back to take on Juan Pablo Romero in a super lightweight contest.

This Saturday night at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Saúl Canelo Álvarez and Caleb Plant will compete for the undisputed world championship of the super middleweight division, a unique accolade. 

This fight and the alluring backup bouts are presented by Premier Boxing Champions, in association with TGB Promotions and Canelo Promotions; and in the United States it will be broadcast in a ShowTime Pay-Per-View event that can be seen from 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time and from 6:00 p.m. Pacific Time.

In Latin America, the transmission will be in charge of ESPN Knockout and can be seen through the new Star + platform from 7:00 p.m. in Mexico; 8:00 pm for Colombia, Peru and Ecuador; 9:00 p.m. for Bolivia and Venezuela; and 22.00 in Argentina, Uruguay, Chile and Paraguay.

Exclusively for the Mexican territory, the pulsating action may also be followed through the transmission of Box Azteca, both on the Azteca 7 and Azteca UNO signals.

The main event fight of Canelo vs Plant should start tonight around 9 p.m. PT on Saturday, November 6. (That's midnight ET and 4 a.m. GMT on Sun Nov. 7 in U.K.). Before the main event, though, the main card gets underway at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT on Saturday. That's 1 a.m. GMT Sunday.

The Canelo vs Plant live stream goes live shortly, and it should be historic. Yes, that word gets thrown around a lot but there's few other ways to describe the main event coming up later tonight. The fight, emanating from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, will unify all the super middleweight gold in boxing.

Saul "Canelo" (that's Spanish for 'cinnamon') Alvarez is bringing the majority of the titles to the fight. So, for that one IBF title that Plant is putting up, Canelo is wagering his WBA, WBC, WBO and Ring Magazine championships. And with all that title gold on his person, Canelo is the huge favorite (odds below). 

Most recently, Canelo snapped Billy Joe Saunders' WBO belt into his collection back in May, taking that title in front of a Texas-sized crowd in Arlington at the AT&T Stadium. He won between the eighth and ninth rounds, as the match was waved off when Saunders' right eye had swollen shut, while his chances of retaining that title closed along with those eyelids.

This path of triumphs positions Canelo as the Thanos of the super middleweight world, collecting one after the other. We've never had an undisputed super middleweight champion before, and this weekend we're gonna get one.
