Fulghum\u2019s longtime coach, Darnell Person, is still in Darius\u2019 corner and he has been at many of Fulghum\u2019s training sessions at Brickhouse.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve been making a lot of changes,\u201d WBA No. 5-rated Fulghum explained, \u201cto try and get back to the fundamentals. I\u2019ve been at Brickhouse for most of this year and there is a lot of great talent here like \u2018Zurdo.\u2019 It\u2019s been great to be in a different environment, which has put me back in a great mindset. I\u2019m improving my craft and when I get back in the ring everyone will see the new, improved version. I\u2019m working on facets of my game that I strayed from to become more of a well-rounded fighter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In his last fight this past November, Fulghum fought David Stevens (15-2) to a 10-round majority draw, one fight after Darius suffered his lone loss as a professional to Bektemir Melikuziev (15-1) nearly one year ago by way of a 12-round unanimous decision.<\/p>\n<p>Fulghum also acknowledged that his super middleweight division is wide open with Terence Crawford\u2019s retirement and the imposing Texan believes he needs to get into the contemporary title hunt with the likes of legendary Saul \u201cCanelo\u201d Alvarez (63-3-2, 39 KOs), reigning IBF world champion Osleys Iglesias (15-0, 14 KOs), WBC world champion Christian Mbilli (29-0-1, 24 KOs), WBC Interim Champion Lester Martinez (20-0-1, 16 KOs), Diego Pacheco (25-0, 18 KOs), WBA world champion Jose Armando Resendiz (16-2 (11 KOs), former IBF world champion Caleb Plant (23-3, 14 KOs), and scheduled (May 23rd) WBO world title challenger Hamzah Sheeraz (22-0-1, 18 KOs).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a pivotal time,\u201d Fulghum said. \u201cLet\u2019s see what happens next. I need to come back with a dominating performance in my next fight (tentatively slated for May 22nd) and wipe away the memories of my last two fights. I\u2019ll be back to show everybody that I\u2019m really that guy!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fulghum was a decorated amateur boxer who was ranked No. 1 in the USA as a heavyweight, but as a professional he\u2019s fought strictly as a super middleweight. He was the 2018 National Golden Gloves Tournament Champion, and he also won the 2020 U.S. Olympic Team Trials. He earned a nursing degree from Prairie View A &amp; M University during COVID-19.<\/p>\n<p>Fulghum is working with 3 Point Management (3 PM), which has a growing stable of gifted boxers including WBA &amp; WBO Cruiserweight World Champion Gilberto \u201cZurdo\u201d Ramirez (48-1, 30 KOs), WBA No. 1-rated world super flyweight title contender John \u201cScrappy\u201d Ramirez (14-1, 9 KOs), former WBC Light Heavyweight World Champion Oleksandr \u201cThe Nail\u201d Gvozdyk (21-3, 17 KOs), former WBA Inter-Continental Light Heavyweight Champion, Canadian Kareem \u201cSupreme\u201d Hackett (13-1, 7 KOs), Armenian featherweight Azat \u201cCrazy A\u201d Hovhannisyan (23-6, 17 KOs), and German junior welterweight Simon \u201cSaucy\u201d Vollmer (7-0, 3 KOs).<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Pepe Serna 360 Conversation: Texas, Acting, Scarface, Miami Vice, Trump, Humanity, ICE &amp;
