Former world champion Rocky Fielding (27-2, 15 KOs) will make his long-awaited return from his clash with ‘Canelo’ in Liverpool on November 15. The 32-year-old “Rocky from Stocky” will face TBA at Liverpool’s Olympia – live on ESPN+.
“I can’t wait to be back in there. I’ve been off since December and I’ve been itching to get fighting again for a while,” Fielding said. “My dreams have come true in becoming a British and world champion but now I want to get a win under my belt in my next fight and then any big names or world champions who want a defense can get on the phone.
“I’m going to get back to what won me the British and world titles and that’s boxing clever and staying concentrated. I’m looking forward to it.”
Fielding claimed the WBA world super middleweight crown with a stunning stoppage of Tyron Zeuge in Germany last July and then stepped in against Mexican great ‘Canelo’ at New York’s Madison Square Garden.
Please as fans how can we say he was a world champion.
Regular wba champion.
Roy Jones,James Toney ,Nigel Benn Joe Calzaghe must be shaking there heads.
Wba are pathetic.All respect to Rocky but genuine world champion no
But Canelo who holds the same belt that Fielding did is considered a world champion at 168 by most of the casuals on here. True story. It’s not the title but the Titleist.
Why do you care what casuals think??
You are obsessed by the word casual.
Give rocky some credit. he went to germany and won the belt by KO. then he put it on the line against a top P4P guy and lost. he fought callum smith earlier than most guys would have. He is limited but his career choices are fine by me
Fielding is delusional. He was never a true world champion nor will he ever be. His skills are so limited that he won’t be in the top 10 super middle weights for long anymore.
So should he quit boxing? Should he say i suck and won’t ever accomplish anything in this sport again? All athletes want to be champions even the ones that aren’t great. I’m definitely not a fan of Fielding but i have nothing bad to say about the guy. You’re just a bitter human being like your bed buddy Chris the Natural. HAHA!!
Long awaited return? By who?
Darin: his wife :)) She needs more cash.
On the Supper Middles theme , does anyone know what’s going on with Callum Smith?
I can’t understand why Hearn seems to say very little about him in comparison to other Matchroom fighters?
I saw that Joe Callagher said he was considering other offers as he was told by Hearn/Sky that he wasn’t PPV.
I find it kind of baffling. Hearn seems to talk more about KSI/Logan Paul than the premier super middle. I like Hearn but feel he’s not promoting Smith as he should be
