Normally when a fighter moves up, they get a sense of relief. Their bodies are usually fatigued from cutting down excess weight and the reprieve they receive breathes new life into their career. For Stephen Fulton, however, things haven’t exactly worked out that way.

After leaving the super bantamweight division behind, Fulton (23-1, 8 KOs) dreamed of becoming a two-division champion. Over the span of roughly six months, he was able to check that goal off his list.

With the WBC featherweight title now blanketed over his shoulder, Fulton is feeling good about himself but he isn’t as happy as he thought he would be.

You see, the Philly native isn’t your typical smaller fighter. Fulton has the frame of a much bigger man, making those weight cuts arduous and painstakingly difficult. At 122 pounds, Fulton believes he overstayed his welcome.

At 126, he won’t make the same mistake. So, when asked what route he wants to take next, the 30-year-old refrained from stating that he wanted to defend his title. Instead, he's on the verge of dropping it.

“I want another belt,” said Fulton to Andre Ward on All The Smoke Fight. “I’m trying to go up. At 130, I’ll feel comfortable.”

According to multiple reports, Fulton’s team has gotten in contact with O’Shaquie Foster, the current WBC titlist at 130 pounds. Talks have seemingly gone well, leading many to believe, including his trainer, that a showdown will occur next.

A win over Foster would make Fulton a champion in a third weight class but just because it’s an enticing move, doesn’t mean he’s closing the door on his current division.

Simply put, money talks. So, even with a move to 130 ostensibly next, if someone were willing to drop a boatload of money on his lap to go back and forth between divisions, Fulton would have no problem doing it.

“I’ll do both but it would have to make sense at 126 though.”
