PHILADELPHIA — Stephen Fulton, often referred to as one of the most underrated fighters in boxing, is vying to make his name known. Despite holding the World Boxing Council and World Boxing Organizaition super bantamweight titles [122 pounds], Fulton still feels he hasn’t received his just due. Fulton will travel to Japan on July 25th to face one of boxing’s most feared punchers, Naoya Inoue, in what will be Inoue’s first fight at super bantamweight, coming up from bantamweight [118 pounds]. 

This could be the legacy defining fight that will garner the respect that Fulton deserves. Fulton 21-0 (8 knockouts) faces Inoue 24-0 (21 knockouts) and despite being the champion, will travel to Inoue’s backyard in a battle for super bantamweight supremacy. From the fighting city of Philadelphia, Fulton plans to show the world exactly why he’s known as “Cool Boy.”
