I\u2019m in full training and I feel strong!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fielding, the former British, Commonwealth and WBC International Champion, has impressed against domestic rivals John Ryder and David Brophy while awaiting his World title opportunity, and having narrowly missed out on a shot at WBC supremo Gilberto Ramirez, the 30 year-old is eager to make this chance count.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m very excited for this. It\u2019s what I have dreamed of since being a young kid &#8211; to become World Champion and we\u2019re nearly there,\u201d said Fielding. \u201cTo have the date locked in makes it all the more real and it\u2019s something now to focus and aim towards. I have watched and tracked Zeuge since he won the World Title against De Carolis. He\u2019s a good fighter with decent foot work in particular. He\u2019s undefeated and has done everything they have asked of him so far.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI boxed on the recent Brook card and been ticking over and working with my coach Jamie Moore since. The Ramirez fight fell through which was disappointing but everything happens for a reason, my promoter Eddie Hearn said I\u2019ll be in big fight in July so that kept me going. I can\u2019t wait for the opening bell.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re delighted to be bringing World Championship boxing back to the Baden Arena,\u201d said promoter Nisse Sauerland. \u201cThis is going to a fantastic match up between two of the division\u2019s most exciting talents. Tyron is coming off the back of a great win against Ekpo, and is improving with every fight. Rocky is a good boxer who has been on our radar for some time. He will be coming to Offenburg to win. Stylistically they are well suited, both can box, both can bang, and that should guarantee a great fight for the fans.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m delighted Rocky has finally got his shot, it\u2019s well deserved,\u201d said Fielding\u2019s promoter Eddie Hearn. \u201cHe has always fought everyone that\u2019s been put in front of him and I believe this is great timing for him to take this opportunity. It\u2019s a great fight between two young, hungry 168 pounders and the fans can expect a cracking match up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-BwwNdnXKZ8?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[AdSense-A] Tyron Zeuge (22-0-1, 12 KOs) defends his WBA World Super Middleweight title against Rocky Fielding (26-1, 14 KOs) on July 14 at the Baden Arena in Offenburg, Germany.
