Fulton said this to boxingnewsonline.net about his upcoming bout against Inoue, “I got out the ring someone and came to me, an interview or something and said something about Inoue and I said who. This was my first time ever hearing about him. I said I’m going to fight him. I said I’m going to go out to Japan. My coach said why you would go to Japan; I said it’s bigger out there. I wasn’t even talking about money. It’s bigger. It makes more sense out there, why wouldn’t it. I said literally I’ll defend my belts out there….. I feel like it’s going to be a great fight. Overall, I feel like it’s going to be an intriguing fight, a technical fight, a very skilful fight and an intelligent fight from both sides. Once we’re both in there and we’re warm anything can happen and that’s my honest opinion. Once we’re going at it and trying to out-think each other that is going to be beautiful.”
