Canelo Alvarez has stopped Rocky Fielding in the third round to win the WBA (regular) super-middleweight title.
The Mexican superstar is now a three-weight world champion following success at light-middleweight and middleweight.
Canelo dropped Fielding in the first and second round via body shots, then again in the third round eventually recording a stoppage victory.
A brave performance by Fielding who was ultimately undone by Canelo's class. He improves his professional record to 51-1-2.

The 28-year-old was not only making his first appearance at 168 lbs but also on subscription service DAZN.
He's slated to return to the ring on Cinco de Mayo weekend.
IBF middleweight champion Daniel Jacobs is a potential opponent, and so is long-time rival Gennady Golovkin.

'GGG' and Canelo have fought twice with both fights controversial.
The Kazakh-destroyer has been heavily linked with a move to DAZN and a third fight against Canelo, who appears to be game for another meeting.
"I felt that it ended on September 15 and I showed that I was best, but they were two great fights that's no secret, and if the people want it, we can make it," he said in his post-fight interview.
