DFG and Goyo Get Big Opportunity in Arizona

Former World Champion Jaime Mungia of Tijuana Mexico headlines the Footprint Center, in Phoenix, Arizona, and battles John Ryder in the evening's main event. On the undercard "DFG' Darius Fulghum originally from Killeen and now fights out of Houston, is one of the brightest young prospects in the sport of boxing regardless of weight class, 9-0 (9), the former amateur star who has stopped every opponent he has stepped in the ring with will look to pick up his first strap as a professional. He will take a massive step up in level of opposition as he takes on Alantez Fox for the WBA  Intercontinental Super Middleweight strap. Fox sports a record of, 28-5-1 (13) and has been in with Demetrius Andrade, Liam Williams, David Morrell, and Bek Melikuziev. Fulghum had a very active 2023 going 6-0 (6)  winning four of those fights in Texas and inking a deal with Golden Boy Promotions.

Also on the card is the 15-1 (6), Gregory "Goyo" Morales of San Antonio.  The featherweight prospect has run off two consecutive wins since the lone defeat of his career back in 2022 when he was outpointed by  Katsuma Akitsugi at the Alamodome. Morales, who most recently fought in Mexico City and scored a dramatic fifth-round stoppage over Ernesto Salcedo back in July, will take on hard-hitting Venezuelan Ronal Ron 14-4 (11), who is coming off a points loss to John Dato.
