CANELO ALVAREZ spoke out about his 'bad blood’ towards Caleb Plant, which is much more than any other opponent.
In an undisputed title decider, Plant, the Mexican WBC/WBA and WBO supermiddleweight champion will face Plant, the WBO and WBO champions.

The fight was threatened to begin early at the September press conference after the fight, when the two brawled onstage.
Canelo initially pushed Plant. Plant then walked over and gave him a slap. But he took a left for his troubles.
It is now out of the fight with more than just the belts. Alvarez has shown unimaginable animosity.
He stated, "It's a new experience for me to have so much bad blood with an enemy."
"It's quite different than normal, and it's definitely caused the most animosity with an opponent going into a big fight."
Canelo, 31 years old, was the victim of a verbal assault by Billy Joe Saunders (32), in May, before their unification.
Brit Saunders, however, was forced to pay for a vicious right uppercut in round 8. This left him with a broken jaw and later four facial fractures.
Canelo now warns that it will take less time to inflict harm on Plant, 29-year-old who has never lost in 21 fights.
He stated, "I am sticking to my prediction of a knockout prior to round eight."
"While the first few rounds may be tough, as the fight progresses, it will become easier. But, I'm going to be able get him out.
"I gave the message that I needed to at our press conference. Plant doesn't need anything else.
"I'm going to just prepare to face him on November 6 in the ring."
Canelo is the current No1 attraction in boxing and is considered to be the pound-for-pound No1.
In recent years, he has defeated star names like Gennady Gorlovkin, 39, and Miguel Cotto (40), respectively.
Canelo, who has lost only to Floyd Mayweather (44), in 2013, and won four world titles in four divisions in 2013, claimed that Plant is capable of bringing something new to the table.
He said: "I have never been involved in anything similar to what happened at Caleb's first press conference."
"I have been to huge fights such as this many times. It's going be a challenge for him to fight in a fight this big for the first time.
"He will have to control his emotions."
