'What a journey' - Rocky Fielding calls time on his boxing career

Rocky Fielding Boxing Dan Azeez Saul Canelo Alvarez WBA

Rocky Fielding has announced his retirement from boxing at the age of 35.

A former WBA ‘regular’ super-middleweight champion, Fielding has made the call just under a month after being stopped in a British light-heavyweight title challenge by Dan Azeez. Apart from Azeez, the only two other boxers to beat him were world champions, Callum Smith and Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez.

The 35-year-old captured the WBA ‘regular’ super-middleweight title by stopping Tyron Zeuge at the Baden Arena in Offenburg back in July 2018, but was dethroned by ‘Canelo’ five months later. Fielding, who also held the British and Commonwealth super-middleweight titles, retires with a record of 30 wins, 18 inside the distance, and three defeats.
