LIVERPOOL’S Rocky Fielding faces the biggest fight of his life after signing to defend his WBA super middleweight title against Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez.
Twenty-eight-year-old Mexican Canelo is one of the most feared fighters on the planet and recently emerged victorious from a rematch with Gennady Golovkin.
He and Fielding will face off in New York at Madison Square Garden on December 15.
Canelo has a 53-fight record, losing just once, on decision to Floyd Mayweather Jr in 2013. Fielding joins a long line of British opponents, with Liam Smith (2016), Amir Khan (2016), Ryan Rhodes (2011) and Matthew Hatton (2011) all beaten.
Fielding has lost just once in a 28-fight career, though he has boxed more domestically, before winning his world strap against Tyron Zeuge in July.
Canelo is the hottest of favourites to cause a huge upset. – Sportinglife
