British and Commonwealth Super middleweight Champion Rocky Fielding has been ordered to defend his newly-acquired super-middleweight title against Indian superstar Vijender Singh as per the latest Commonwealth Boxing Council bulletin.
This mega fight between two champion boxers is scheduled for March 30, 2018 in the United Kingdom.
Fielding won the belt in September following a crushing victory over David Brophy in Liverpool and has been put straight in at the deep-end opposite the Indian Olympic medallist boxer.
Vijender, 31, has raced to 9-0 as a pro, including a short stint with Frank Warren, on the back of a decorated career donning the Indian vest.
The strapping six-footer could now meet Fielding in a massive contest provided both sides are on board and agree terms in the coming months.
Fielding is far experienced than WBO Asia Pacific and Oriental Super Middleweight Champion Vijender, out of total 26 fights he has won 25 including 14 knockouts.
The 30 year old British boxer is former WBA Inter-Continental super middleweight champion as well as a former WBA Commonwealth and English Super middleweight champion.
