Overview
- At the official weigh-in in Sydney on Saturday, Fulton tipped the scales at about 139.5–140 pounds for a fight that had been reset to a 133-pound catchweight, so the bout with Liam Wilson was called off.
- Promoter No Limit had agreed to the late 133-pound limit at Fulton’s request, but the miss left Wilson without the WBA super-featherweight eliminator he had accepted to pursue another world-title opportunity.
- Wilson’s team publicly accused Fulton and his camp of bad faith, with manager Glenn Jennings calling the outcome “a stitch up” and saying the result is “a blight on the sport.”
- The card was reshuffled after the cancellation, with Olympian Paulo Aokuso moved to the main card and Fulton returning to Philadelphia without fighting.
- This is Fulton’s second consecutive weight failure since moving up divisions in 2025, a pattern that risks fines, damaged reputation and altered career plans for title fights and could lead promoters and commissions to enforce stricter penalties or deny future catchweight concessions.
