There is so much on the line on Friday evening, when the invincible Darius “DFG” Fulgham (14-0, 12 KO) will face Betemir “Bully” Melikuziv (15-1, 10 KO) in what is the world title World World World Title World Title World World Bookld Booksing (WBA).
“There will be separation in the super medium medium ward,” Fulghum explained. “Plant (WBA fleeting master) fights the day after my fight in Las Vegas, but” Canelo “(Alvarez) holds all cards.”
The key question, however, is how long Alvarez maintains full control over the department?
The undisputed world champion of the super medium weight Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (69-22, 39 KO) is ruled by the 168-pound division and 34-year-old, who has been a professional boxer since 2005, now he only fights twice a year to celebrate Cinco de Mayo (May) and Mexican Day of independence (September). The final boxing rainback reportedly signed four fights with the Riyadh season, which began on May 4 with the dominant 12-round unanimous decision about the previously undefeated William Scull (23-1, 9 KO). Canelo has a Mega-Wallka set compared to the next future Hall of Famer, Terenka Crawford (41-0, 31 KO), September 12 in Las Vegas. If “Canelo” ends the Riyadh season contract, the Mexican will remain only two required fights in 2025.
Even if he does not retire after Crawford’s fight, “Canelo” will still have four compulsory defense to do or devoid of his titles. Winner Fulghum vs. Melikuziv is positioned as a leading global contender WBA, if not a mandatory pretender.
The only super medium scale rated above by WBA than no. 3 Melikuziv and no. 4 Fulghum is a plant (23-2, 14 KO), No. 1 Christian Mballi (27-0, 23 KO) and No. 2 Leicester Martinez (19-0, 18 Kos), from Guatemala.
Plant is fighting WBA No. 15 Jose Armando Resendiz (15-2, 11 KO) the day after Melikuziv vs. Fulghum, also in Las Vegas, on the same card as the former world champion Jermall Charlo (33-0, 22 Kos) vs. Thomas Lamanna (39-5-1, 18 Kos). Plant vs. Charlo, assuming that both are the winners, apparently they are on a collision course for the next fights.
Mbilli, a French Olympian living in Canada, will be abandoned from his ranking No. 1 WBA, when he faces this champion of the super average Medium Championships of the World Boxing Council (WBA) in WBC Super WBC championships in the super medium medium championships.
“This eliminator sets everything for me and I am a business,” said Fulghum. “I will not do it more than that, because every fight I had was extremely critical; I would not be here if I lost any of my fights. There is no additional pressure, because it is an eliminator and after this Friday night there will be much more.”
28-year-old Fulghum, fighting with Houston, fights with Melikuziv, the Silver Olympic medalist 2016 from Uzbekistan, in its proper perspective.
“This eliminator sets everything for me and I am a business,” said Fulghum. “But I won’t do anything more than that, because every fight I had was extremely critical; I wouldn’t be here if I lost any of my fights. There is no additional pressure, because it is an eliminator, because after this Friday night there will be much more.”
