Brandon Figueroa and Stephen Fulton will run it back in December.
Brandon Figueroa and Stephen Fulton will meet in a featherweight rematch on Dec. 14, featuring on the Gervonta “Tank” Davis vs Lamont Roach pay-per-view undercard.
ESPN.com’s Mike Coppinger reported the news earlier this evening.
Figueroa (25-1-1, 19 KO) and Fulton (22-1, 8 KO) met as super bantamweights back in 2021, with Fulton winning a debated majority decision in a really good fight that unified the WBC and WBO titles.
Since then, Fulton lost his belts to Naoya Inoue in the summer of 2023, while Figueroa moved up to featherweight in 2022, and has gone 3-0 at the weight, claiming the interim WBC belt with his win over Mark Magsayo in Mar. 2023.
Fulton also moved up to featherweight in his last bout, a Sept. 14 win over Carlos Castro, whom Figueroa had beaten in his own move to 126 lbs a couple of years ago.
The pay-per-view undercard is also expected to feature Alberto Puello defending the WBC super lightweight title against Sandor Martin.
