Fields won the National Boxing Association (NBA) Welterweight Championship in March 1929, with a decision over Young Jack Thompson. Four months later, on July 25, he captured the World Welterweight crown when a second-round foul disqualified defending champion Joe Dundee. Fields lost the world title to Thompson in May 1930, but regained it a second time with a decision over Lou Brouillard, who had taken the crown from Thompson.
