Overview
- Stephen Fulton weighed in at 132 pounds, two over the 130-pound limit, prompting the WBC to shift the matchup to an interim lightweight title fight.
- The fight will proceed Saturday at Frost Bank Center in San Antonio on the PBC/Prime Video pay-per-view card.
- Under the new sanctioning, the winner becomes the mandatory challenger for Shakur Stevenson’s WBC lightweight title, ESPN reported.
- Fulton, who was moving up from featherweight for his 130-pound debut, is expected to forfeit a portion of his purse to O’Shaquie Foster, according to reports.
- The event has already seen late changes after adverse drug-test findings for Janibek Alimkhanuly and Alexis Gaytan led to a new opponent for Erislandy Lara and removed Elijah Garcia from the card.
