"Want to earn it" - Caleb Plant on a rematch against Canelo Alvarez
The name Canelo Alvarez is still haunting Caleb Plant. The Mexican P4P champion dethroned Caleb Plant in November last year in dramatic fashion. Plant looked to give Canelo his toughest fight yet, but was ultimately far from it. Canelo seemed to keep getting more comfortable as the rounds progressed. He dismantled Plant over the course of 11 rounds.
In a recent tweet, 'Sweethands' spoke about how he wants to earn his rematch against Canelo:
"*want to earn it. Don’t need anything handed to me"

Caleb Plant replied to a tweet that said he 'wants' a rematch with Canelo. He corrected it by saying he wants to earn the rematch and does not want anything handed to him. 'Sweethands' is one of the few fighters that takes on any challenge thrown at him. His road to the Super-Middleweight belt was a tough one.
He took on anyone that challenged him and earned his way to a title shot. When he fought Canelo Alvarez, he bit off more than he could chew. The Mexican's championship experience, composure, and skills were too much for the American to handle. He knew he had to go back to the drawing board following his loss to Canelo.
