Undefeated Texan Prospect Darius “DFG” Fulghum to Face Vaughn “The Animal” Alexander in Super Middleweight Clash
Katy, Texas native Darius “DFG” Fulghum (11-0, 10 KOs), an undefeated boxing prospect, is set to take on Vaughn “The Animal” Alexander (18-11-1, 11 KOs) of St. Louis, Missouri in a 10-round super middleweight showdown on Thursday, June 27th. The bout will take place at the Fantasy Springs Resort Casino in Indio, California and will be broadcast live on DAZN.
Fulghum, a rising Korean-American middleweight, was originally scheduled to face Ronald Ellis, but Alexander has stepped in as a late replacement.
