Benavidez vs Caleb Plant live stream: fight preview

Modern boxing is dominated by vacuous bravado and highly processed "beefs", but the interim WBC super middleweight title fight between long-term adversaries and former division champions David Benavidez and Caleb Plant is the real deal.

Benavidez, the current holder of the belt, became the youngest champion in super middleweight history in 2017. Though he remains undefeated, the Mexican Monster has been stripped of the title twice, and it's no exaggeration to say that the trajectory of his career has shaped the entire division.

In a parallel universe, the 26-year-old might be the undisputed champion at 168lb rather than Canelo, who beat Plant in their unification bout in 2021 but is yet to face his compatriot in the ring. 

If Benavidez gets the better of Plant at the MGM Grand, the blockbuster Canelo showdown that we've waited years for will finally, finally be on the cards.

That's exactly the kind of talk that Plant has had to put up with in the buildup to this fight, and the American needs no further motivation to shut his opponent, his entourage, and the entire boxing industry up. 

Sweethands' 59% knockout ratio doesn't compare favourably with the 88% of Benavidez, but his knockout-of-the-year takedown of Anthony Dirrell in October shows that Plant still has plenty of ammunition in his armory. 

The Benavidez vs Caleb Plant main card is due to start at 9pm ET on Saturday, 25th March, in Las Vegas, USA. That's 2am BST / 12pm AEDT on Sunday, 26th March.
