Stephen Fulton was not interested in this callout.
The American defeated Brandon Figueroa to win the WBC featherweight world title back in February.
Now, he’s on the hunt for his next opponent, with his name linked to O’Shaquie Foster.
But regardless of whom he faces next, there’s one potential match-up that he definitely isn’t interested in.

Stephen Fulton has shut down the idea of a clash with WBC interim featherweight title holder Bruce Carrington.
On Twitter, ‘Cool Boy Steph’ claimed: “No fighter that ever called me out beat me or can beat me. That goes for anyone who ever had my name in their mouth,” which prompted Carrington to reply: “First time for everything! Let’s stop all the chit chat and make it happen.”
Bursting his rival’s bubble, Fulton fired back: “You should take your own advice, you went on world tour talking.
“I’ve got bigger opponents I’m about to face. Be patient!”
How did Bruce Carrington win the WBC interim featherweight title?
While Carrington might be somewhat disappointed that a bout with Fulton doesn’t look likely to come to fruition in the immediate future, he still has a lot to be happy about.
On July 26, ‘Shu Shu’ picked up his belt against Mateus Heita inside the historic Madison Square Garden in New York, USA.
Showcasing his brilliance, Carrington exhibited speed and precision to dominate his opponent, en route to winning via unanimous decision.
