Stephen Fulton could have a big task on his hands.
In February, the American emerged victorious against Brandon Figueroa to win the WBC featherweight world title.
Now the talented athlete is on the hunt for his next opponent. However, he doesn’t want to just fight anyone, with Fulton recently refusing to face Bruce Carrington.
But while he wasn’t enthusiastic about a clash with ‘Shu Shu’, a potential showdown with this fan favorite might motivate him to get into training camp.
WOW: Could Gennadiy Golovkin have beaten a monster who was ‘more talented’ than him?
