Upset Build

Unfortunately for Fulghum, he suffered a first career defeat, as Melikuziev’s power told in the final round, forcing a late knockdown. Despite Fulghum’s efforts, it felt like Melikuziev had his nose in front for most of the bout. Judges Tim Cheatham, David Sutherland and Steve Weisfeld all totalled 114-112 for Bek, who had a point deducted for holding in round seven.

Canelo is the established undisputed champion, while Caleb Plant (who fights later this evening) holds the Interim strap at 168. Back in the Virgin Hotels ring and the more seasoned Melikuziev set the early pace, landing his signature left hand as Fulghum acclimatised to the step-up in class.

Boxing patiently for the first third, Fulghum increased the tempo and began to find little openings around the middle rounds. Referee Thomas Taylor deducted a point from Melikuziev in round seven, offering the well-supported Fulghum further glimmers of hope.

In his first fight against Dubois, The Cat hurt his man multiple times before delivering an emphatic ninth-round finish just under two years ago. A somewhat controversial fifth round, however, saw Usyk drop to the canvas after getting caught with a shot that the referee deemed to be a low blow.

In any case, Usyk, 23-0 (14 KOs), must first take care of business against IBF titlist Daniel Dubois which, in truth, represents a far more credible assignment for the Ukrainian. Their rematch will take place at Wembley Stadium in London, England, on July 19, presenting Usyk with the opportunity to become a three-time undisputed champion.
