Darius Fulghum is set for his first headliner.
The rising super middleweight prospect graced the scales at a fight-ready 167.8 pounds for his 12th pro fight. Houston’s Fulghum faces veteran journeyman Vaughn Alexander, who weighed 171.4 pounds for the short-notice assignment.
Their scheduled ten-round bout headlines Thursday’s Golden Boy Fight Night on DAZN show from Fantasy Springs Resort Casino in Indio, California,
Alexander (18-11-1, 11 knockouts) accepted the short notice assignment for what will already mark his fourth fight of 2024.
The 38-year-old dropped a ten-round decision to former title challenger Sergiy Derevyanchenko (15-5, 10 KOs) on April 20 in Brooklyn, New York. The loss was his fourth in a row for the Saint Louis native, whose younger brother Devon Alexander was a two-division titlist. Three of the four defeats came in a nine-week span this year.
Fulghum (11-0, 10 KOs) appeared on that same card in a fourth-round knockout of Cristian Olivas.
The 27-year-old super middleweight prospect went the distance for the first time in his previous outing. He went the full ten-round distance with Alantez Fox (28-6-1, 13 KOs), whom he outpointed in a terrible styles matchup on the Jan. 27 DAZN undercard in Phoenix, Arizona.
