Saul “Canelo” Alvarez is set to step inside the ring for the second time in 2018, against British boxer Rocky Fielding, as he moves up to 168 pounds in a title bout for the WBA (regular) Super Middleweight championship on Saturday, Dec. 15th, at Madison Square Garden, New York.
This time, however, Alvarez (50–1–2) will not be fighting as an HBO PPV boxer, but under the new streaming service, DAZN. The Mexican boxer signed a five-year, 11 fight deal worth at least $365 million. Alvarez defeated Gennady Golovkin earlier in the year via Decision (Majority) in a bout in which he ultimately won the WBA (Super), as well as the WBC middleweight titles.
