LAS VEGAS - Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez made history on Saturday, knocking out Caleb Plant in the 11th round to become the first undisputed world super-middleweight champion, unifying all four major belts in less than 12 months. The 31-year-old added the IBF belt to his WBC, WBA and WBO straps in a winner-takes-all showdown at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas to join an exclusive club.

Mexico's Alvarez knocked Plant down twice in the 11th; the first time with a stinging left hook, followed up by a thundering right uppercut.Alvarez pummelled Plant with rights and lefts to drop him for good at 1:05 of the round.He defended them successfully by overpowering Avni Yildirim in February and then clobbered Billy Joe Saunders six months ago to grab the WBO belt.

Only five other boxers -- Oleksandr Usyk , Bernard Hopkins , Jermain Taylor , Terence Crawford and Josh Taylor -- have held all four belts."This is for everybody, especially for Mexico. We did it tonight. We are only six. It keeps me happy and motivated to be one of the six undisputed fighters in the world."

Yes ! Canelo Alvarez make history in boxing by improving himself he's best but as I knows he never took all from super middleweight division he did well as Caleb Plant was not prepared to fight.
