SAUL “CANELO” ALVAREZ VS. ROCKY FIELDING
Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico Liverpool, England
50-1-2 (34 KOs) 27-1 (15 KOs)
World Championship Boxing returns to Madison Square Garden on Saturday, December 15th as the universally recognized Middleweight Champion of the world, and the veritable face of boxing, CANELO ALVAREZ makes his New York City debut when he challenges WBA Super Middleweight Champion ROCKY FIELDING.
Canelo (50-1-2, 34 KOs), the 28-year-old native of Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, is without a doubt boxing’s biggest star. After capturing multiple world titles and the lineal championship in both the super welterweight and middleweight divisions, Canelo has established himself firmly atop the pound-for-pound rankings. The Mexican superstar will look to capture a world title in a third division when he steps into The Garden’s famed Boxing ring for the first time.
The fighting pride of Liverpool, England, ROCKY FIELDING (27-1, 15 KOs) climbed the 168-pound rankings by fighting the toughest fighters in his native country. Fielding has scored six victories in a row, including his career-defining win to capture the WBA Super Middleweight World Title in July. Fielding will defend his title at The Garden in what will be his United States debut.
