Emotions were heightened backstage at the Errol Spence Jr. and Terence Crawford Weigh-in between boxers Caleb Plant, 31, and Jermall Charlo, 33, on Friday, July 28, in Las Vegas.

In a video posted on social media, a ranging Plant approached Charlo and slapped him, causing a bodyguard to interfere and hold Plant back.
As the guard and others attempted to escort Plant outside, the 31-year-old told the 33-year-old never to grab him by his face again. Towards the end of the video, Plant’s wife, Jordan Hardy, ducked under a garage door to meet her husband outside.
Despite getting slapped, the 33-year-old wasn’t as hyped as the 31-year-old even when he strode toward him. It wasn’t in a “revenge” manner.
Many took to Twitter to react.

The two boxers weren’t the only ones brawling backstage. Charlo’s ex-wife reportedly got into a brawl outside with the wife of the 33-year-old’s twin brother, Jermell Charlo.
It’s unclear what the fights were over.
