The fight broke out after both champions had a verbal exchange during their face-off before the news conference, which was in the garden of the Beverly Hilton. Plant reportedly made a comment about Álvarez’ mother, provoking the Mexican superstar to shove Plant with two hands.

Plant then stepped forward and tried to throw a left hook at Álvarez, who managed to dodge it and then threw a left hand which connected on Plant’s face. Álvarez hit Plant’s sunglasses, which ultimately caused the cut.
