Bruce Carrington was asked about the possibility of fighting WBC champion Stephen Fulton and what he thinks of his ability: “I’ve been talking about fighting Fulton for the past year and a half now because I knew he was coming up in weight at some point,” said Carrington.

“I noticed there’s a few things that he doesn’t keep up with, in terms of defensively that I can easily capitalise on,” added “Shu Shu.”

“I feel like I’m bigger than him. I feel like I’m stronger than him. I have a lot of different things that we have in common in terms of our boxing ability but I feel like where he edges me in experience I feel like I still have a better IQ than he does. I just utilise what I have, like my assets better than he does and I just want an opportunity.”

I’m number one in the WBO. I’m here to fight all the other champions. Angelo Leo as well too. I’m ranked number 4 in the IBF. I wanna fight all these guys. But these guys got to have to be the ones to step up to the plate. I’m here. I’m not ducking anybody. I would say the most attractive fights for me are Stephen Fulton and Nick Ball.”
