Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez takes his first step into the super middleweight division this week to challenge WBA 'regular' champion Rocky Fielding.
Canelo has proven himself at middlweight, enjoying a high-profile defeat of Gennady Golovkin, and now he is willing to take a risk and step up to face title-holder Fielding.
The bout at New York City's Madison Square Garden should bring the year to a close in style on Saturday.
