Neither PBC nor Showtime have announced a new date, making it unclear whether the fight will actually happen in October. We’ve seen our share of fast turnarounds, like Kenshiro Teraji vs. Masamichi Yabuki, so it’s certainly possible.

Figueroa (22-0-1, 17 KO) scored a career-best win in May by stopping Luis Nery with a vicious body shot, claiming his ninth knockout victory in his last 10 fights in the process. He and the ultra-slick Fulton (19-0, 8 KO) figured to put on a hell of a show and establish the winner as an unquestionable top-two fighter at the weight, so let’s hope they manage to put the fight back together.
