Only days after Fulton and Spence were announced to be fighting over a WBA super featherweight eliminator, No Limit used a Friday press conference to reveal the bout will now take place at an increased catchweight of 133 pounds.<\/p>\n
It comes after Team Fulton asked for, and were granted, the late increase.<\/p>\n
Asked by Fox Sports Australia if he feared the American had always planned to make a late weight change — particularly after Jermall Charlo withdrew \u2013 and Wilson gave a frank response.<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, it\u2019s a possibility,\u201d the Queenslander said of a rival who also came in heavy for his last fight against O\u2019Shaquie Foster, hitting the scales a hefty two pounds over.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo the talks with my camp,\u201d Wilson continued, \u201cI wouldn\u2019t say it was expected but we knew it was looming.\u201d<\/p>\n
Speaking after Friday\u2019s press conference, Fulton revealed he had first approached No Limit about increasing the weight for Sunday\u2019s co-main by three pounds more than a week ago, and before jetting out for Sydney.<\/p>\n
\u201cBefore I flew out here, I said something about it,\u201d Fulton revealed. \u201cIt was behind closed doors and they [No Limit] said \u2018try to make the weight\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo that\u2019s what I did.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd it\u2019s why I didn\u2019t turn up to the open workouts yesterday. I\u2019d rather miss a media workout trying to save the card. That\u2019s why I didn\u2019t show up.\u201d<\/p>\n
Yet when asked how much he was struggling with the cut, Fulton added: \u201cNot that much\u201d.<\/p>\n
Then quizzed on if there was any push back to his request, Fulton replied: \u201cNo\u201d.<\/p>\n
And why?<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause we need the fight to happen,\u201d he shrugged.<\/p>\n
Asked if the co-main would have been canned had the change not been made, Fulton added: \u201cI can\u2019t say that. Because I would\u2019ve died to make it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fulton also took aim at a social media video captured after the open workouts, where Wilson addressed his rival being absent and struggling with weight.<\/p>\n
