LOS ANGELES (February 10, 2025) – Undefeated super middleweight Darius “DFG” Fulgham (13-0, 11 KOs), No. 5 in the world by the World Boxing Association (WBA), is excited about his second World Boxing Association (WBA) Continental Super Middleweight title defense this Saturday night (Feb. 15) against Detroit veteran Winfred “Hotboy” Harris, Jr. (22-2-2, 10 KOs).
Fulghum vs. Harris, Jr. is the 10-round, co-featured event on a Golden Boy Promotions card, headlined by Oscar Duarte vs. Miguel Madueno, to be streamed on DAZN live from Honda Center in Anaheim, California.
Harris, Jr., who has only been stopped once in 26 pro fights, is a former Universal Boxing Federation All America Middleweight Champion. His last fight ended in an eight-round draw last November for the World Boxing Council FECARBOX super middleweight title.
“I’m excited about this great opportunity,” Fulghum said. “I don’t know too much about my opponent and won’t until I get in the ring. He has a good record; I hear that he comes to fight.
“This is an opportunity for me to show what level I’m at in my division. I’m planning a splash performance. My job is to put on a show. There are expectations for me to perform at a high level because of my rating, but this is what I love to do. Overall, I train hard to be the best version of myself.”
Fulghum and Harris, Jr. have one common opponent, Vaughen Alexander, who defeated last June by way of a 10-round unanimous decision, while Harris, Jr. fought Alexander in 2021 to an eight-round solute draw.
Last month, Fulghum gained additional experience as a sparring partner for light heavyweight David Morrell, Jr. for the latter’s recent fight against David Benavidez.
“I showed that I belong,” Fulghum remarked about sparring with Morell, “and that I’m one of the top guys at 168.”
Fulghum, 28, was a decorated amateur boxer who was ranked No. 1 in the USA as a heavyweight, but as a professional he’s fought strictly as a super middleweight. He captured top honors at the 2018 National Golden Gloves Tournament and 2020 U.S. Olympic Team Trials, both of these major amateur accomplishments achieved while he was earning a nursing degree from Prairie View A & M University.
Fulghum is working with 3 Point Management (3 PM), which has a growing stable of gifted boxers including WBA & WBO Cruiserweight World Champion Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez (47-1, 30 KOs), world super flyweight title challenger John “Scrappy” Ramirez (14-1, 9 KOs), former WBA Inter-Continental Light Heavyweight Champion Kareem “Supreme” Hackett (12-1, 6 KOs) and German junior welterweight Simon “Saucy” Vollmer (6-0, 2 KOs).
