Michael ‘Rocky’ Fielding told the Liverpool Echo that penning a contract with Warren was an easy decision to make as it allows him to follow in the footsteps of some of his boxing heroes. Hardly surprising Fielding jumped at the chance to sign for Frank Warren who record speaks for itself. Warren hosts the domestic show of the year at the Liverpool Echo arena tonight with no less than 4 titles on the line from British to world titles on display.
“Going back to when I was a kid, I used to watch all the big shows and Frank Warren was the main man so I think he’s the right person to go with. I watched fighters like Joe Calzaghe, Ricky Hatton and Amir Khan on Frank‘s shows so I‘d love to be able to get to where he helped them to one day” said Rocky.
Jamie Ambler is the man trying to spoil the welcome home party tonight in a 6 round contest.
Also on the card tonight are rotunda stable mates Tony Bellew and Joe Selkirk who Rocky has been around since his amateur days and said he always wanted to be on the same card as them.
Tony Bellew puts his Light Heavyweight Commonwealth title on the line whilst trying to claim the British title and Rocky had this to say “As an amateur I was on shows with the other lads from the Rotunda like Bellew and Selkirk and wanted to get back being on the same shows as them. It will be bit like an old Rotunda show tonight and it will be a good one, especially with Bellew fighting for the British title. I can't wait to sit back and watch him win it”.
