Diego Pacheco Avoids Top Middleweights Again

Diego Pacheco fights Darius Fulghum on November 14 in Carson, California, extending a pattern of sidestepping available title shots at middleweight. Fulghum enters on a 1-1-1 stretch, with his lone win in that span coming against Yoanki Urrutia, per Bad Left Hook.

Pacheco turns 26 in four months. Five years ago he told Bad Left Hook his goal was to fight for a world title by age 22. Since then he has declined purse bids and mandatory orders that would have put him across from Christian Mbili, Janibek Alimkhanuly, and Hamzah Sheeraz. The Fulghum fight airs on DAZN and TNT at 8 p.m. ET.

The Carson card also features Charlie Sheehy against Gabriel Flores and David Adeleye against Alexander Flores in ten-round support bouts. Prelims start at 4:15 p.m. ET on DAZN.
