    • Fifield was ranked as the #2 contender to the Canadian title by the Canadian Boxing Federation at the time.
    • Second fight between the two boxers, Durelle having won the first tilt by knockout in the 10th round.
    • While Fifield had attempted to use continuous movement in the first fight, he chose to rush Durelle in this case. Although he cornered Durelle in round 1, he was caught by an overhand right and counted out barely one minute into the fight.
