DAVID BENAVIDEZ and Caleb Plant finally square off as they face each other TONIGHT in Las Vegas.
Both men have been trading insults for years and now they’re set to throw down in a huge super-middleweight clash.
The winner could go on to face the division’s number one guy Canelo Alvarez, who takes on Brit John Ryder next.
Plant has already faced Alvarez before, losing by 11th-round knockout, while boxing fans have been desperate to see the Mexican take on Benavidez ever since.
A win over Plant tonight could secure Benavidez his big shot, but it won’t be easy by any means.
Plant is coming off a huge win over Anthony Dirrell, winning with a knockout of the year punch in the 9th round.

What has been said?
“There’s been a lot of s*** talking going back and forth, but on March 25th I get to put hands on Caleb Plant,” Benavidez has said.
“And trust me when I say I’m going to beat the living s* out of you, p*y.
“And then when you’re on the f***ing ground bleeding from you f***ing mouth you’ll learn how to respect a real f***ing monster.
“This dude, he has 13 knockouts… I was champion before you… You a chump.
“You ain’t nothing. And come March 25th, mark my words, I’m gonna put this motherf* in the hospital.”
Plant said: “I’m ready. And somebody you know let me know [you’re] already on weight. Right? But that don’t mean s**t to me.
“I don’t care if you’re already on weight. That’s not bragging rights. I brought my mouthpiece and my cup this week, but I don’t need a pat on the back for it. That’s what you’re supposed to do.
“You’re supposed to be on weight. So welcome to the club. And you’ve got your newfound muscles you’ve been showing off all week. Welcome to the club. That’s what happens when you work hard.”
