The 6-foot-9-inch, 270-pound Fields, who’s part Native American, is a devastating puncher with a record of 41-2 and 37 knockouts. He was the former International Boxing Federation United States Boxing Federation heavyweight champion during 2003.
Had Fields avoided that stunning loss to Barrett, Fields well may have been in line to fight one of the Klitschko Brothers for a WBC, IBF or World Boxing Organization heavyweight title.
“I’ve sparred with them, so maybe they got lucky I got upset,” joked Fields. “Seriously, they’re great fighters and the three of us know with our size and power, a fight against either (Wladimir, IBF and WBO champion, and Vitali, WBC champion) would be have been a war. For that matter, if and when it happens, it will still be a war.”
“I have always had the highest expectations for Tye, and I still do,” said Billy Baxter, Fields’ manager.
“Certainly, we suffered a major setback when Tye was upset, because he was on track for a world title shot,” said Baxter. “But I’m confident, as is Tye, that great things, including that world title fight, are in store.”
But Fields, a southpaw, has a stern test in Firtha, from Akron, Ohio. Firtha’s a boxer and one, who at 6-foot 5-inches, won’t be giving away much in height and reach. The 30-year-old Firtha has a record of 16-5-1 with seven knockouts.
The 34-year-old Fields was born in Missoula, Mont., and lived in Las Vegas the past seven years before moving to Edmonton earlier this year.
The card June 20, promoted by Big Sky Promotions of Edmonton, will be held in The Venue at the River Cree Resort and Casino; doors open at 6 p.m. (Mountain) with the first fight starting at 7.
