What happened at the Canelo vs Plant press conference?

As the build-up to the fight increased, there was a crazy press conference between Canelo and Plant recently.

In short, Canelo gave Plant a cut to his face when things turned sour and a brawl emerged.

The pair exchanged words back and forth as they came face-to-face on stage and that is the moment things got really heated.

It looked like Plant took things too far with what he was saying, and Canelo reacted by shoving the American boxer.

Plant then took his turn to respond by swinging his fists at the Mexican, who dodged the punch with perfect timing.

As he does so perfectly in the ring, Canelo countered with a punch of his own, which left Plant with damage under his eye.
