Philadelphia, PA (September 24, 2018) *Tomorrow night,* undefeated
featherweight prospect *Stephen Fulton* takes the next step towards being
recognized as one of the emerging stars of the division when he takes
on *Esteban
Aquino* (12-5, 7 KOs) at The *Sands Bethlehem Event Center*.
The bout will be part of a ten-bout card promoted by King’s Promotions.
The main event will feature an eight-round junior welterweight battle
between *Anthony Mercado* (11-4, 9 KOs) of Puerto Rico battling *Victor
Vazquez* (10-4, 3 KOs) of Yonkers, New York.
Fulton of Philadelphia has an impressive mark of 13-0 with six knockouts.
In an era where most prospects do not see a serious challenge until they
have fought more than 20 bouts, Fulton on the other hand has already
defeated five undefeated foes.
“Everything is good, I am ready to fight on Tuesday night,” said Fulton.
The 24 year-old Fulton doesn’t know too much about Aquino, but he is not
taking him lightly.
“I don’t know much about him. I tried to fight some tape, but there wasn’t
anything on him. This is not the 1st time that I have not seen my
opponent, but it doesn’t mean that I won’t get the job done.”
With the quality wins already on his resume, Fulton feels the time for a
big opportunity is in the future.
“I feel as though my time is now. I can see myself fighting for, and
winning a world title in either 2019 or early 2020.”
Fulton believes that being from one of boxing hotbed cities in Philadelphia
is a bonus as he can get great sparring with top-notch fighters.
“It helps being from Philadelphia. It makes a big impact that a lot of
great fighters are from here. Sure there is a little pressure when you
start winning to become the next champion, but it also makes you a better
fighter.”
“Tuesday night, I am looking to show my skills and show separation that
will let everyone know that I am on another level. I just want to continue
to progress as I have some good fights lined up after this. The fans
should just stay tuned as I am almost there.”
