Stephen Fulton routs Daniel Roman by unanimous decision to keep junior featherweight belts
"He knew how to use his distance," Roman said in his postfight interview. "It was hard for me to adjust to his distance because he was boxing."
Fulton continued his ascent in the 122-pound division that has made him one of the top fighters in the sport. In January 2021, he beat Angelo Leo to win the WBO belt. Ten months later, he defeated Brandon Figueroa by a majority decision to acquire the WBC title, too.
After the latest fight, Fulton said he wants to become the division's undisputed champion by taking on Murodjon Akhmadaliev, who holds the other two major titles. Akhmadaliev won the WBA and IBF belts by beating Roman via split decision in January 2020. Roman said he believes Fulton is the best junior featherweight in the world.
And Fulton is more than eager to prove him right.
Said Fulton: "We gotta finish this up."
