Selecting title within h3 class - Css Selector using rvest

I am trying to pull title descriptions using the rvest package in R and SelectorGadget to identify my CSS selectors.

<div class="detail">
<h3 class="">                                                                                       
<a href="[].html" 
title="Vasyl Lomachenko Beats Guillermo Rigondeaux" 
class="">Madison Square Garden...</a>

Currently using the following code which selects h3 class data: "Madison Square Garden...". I want to select the title data i.e. "Vasyl Lomachenko Beats Guillermo Rigondeaux". 

url <- 'www.url.com'
webpage <- read_html(url)
Desc <- html_nodes(webpage,'h3') %>% html_text()

I have referred to this question below but still can't work it out. Any help would be very welcome!

Super simple, hadn't used html_attr before: 

webpage %>% html_nodes("h3 a") %>% html_attr("title")
