WBC and WBO super bantamweight champion Stephen Fulton 20-0 (8) will collide with former unified champion Danny Roman 28-3-1 (10) at The Amory in Minneapolis, Minnesota on June 4.
The 27-year-old Fulton from Philadelphia lifted the WBO strap from Angelo Leo in January last year and added the WBC belt to his collection with a victory over Brandon Figueroa in November.
“I’m ready to defend my titles once again against ‘Danny boy’,” said Fulton. “I expect Roman to be excited and on point. He’s looking at this fight as a comeback, so he’ll be ready. This is his biggest fight to date. Fight fans should just make sure to tune in to this fight because when I fight I always put on a great show and June 4 won’t be any different.”
Los Angelan Roman, 31, made four successful title defences of the WBA 122-pound belt he claimed from Shun Kubo in Japan in 2017 including a unification bout against IBF boss TJ Doheny in 2019.
“Words can’t describe how excited I am to be back in the ring, fighting for the world titles on Showtime,” said Roman.
“Fulton is an undefeated champion who has never tasted defeat, but I have plans to take his belts. I have confidence in myself that I’m going to come out on top based on my skill and experience.
“I’m having a great camp and the fans should be tuning in because I’m going to be in the best shape of my life. I’m grateful to my team for working hard to make this fight happen. I’m going to make this fight a war on June 4.”
“Fans at The Armory in Minneapolis and watching on Showtime are in for another treat on June 4 with a battle between unified champion Stephen Fulton and former unified champion Danny Roman that is destined to deliver dramatic action,” said Tom Brown, President of TGB Promotions.
Also on the card WBA ‘regular’ super middleweight titleholder David Morrell Jr 6-0 (5) will clash with Kalvin Henderson 15-1-1 (11).
“Adding in the exciting rising star David Morrell Jr returning to fight in his adopted hometown against Kalvin Henderson and June 4 is lined up to be another can’t-miss night of high-stakes fights,” Brown continued.
“I’m super excited to be able to have the opportunity to fight in my second home of Minneapolis,” the 24-year-old Cuban southpaw Morrell said. “I’m ready to shine at The Armory once again on June 4. It’s going to be an amazing feeling to have that support on fight night and I’m working hard in training to make sure I can deliver for the fans.”
“I feel this is an excellent opportunity to show who I am on a national network for a WBA title,” said Henderson, 31. “A lot of pros never get the chance to fight for a world title and for me to get this opportunity 17 fights in is amazing.
“All I ever wanted was an opportunity. Even though he is young, Morrell is a game opponent. He comes from the Cuban program, but we have a great game plan to take this world title back home.”
