Stephen Fulton In Talks With Timberland After Boxing Shoes Go Viral

Timberland officials apparently loved Stephen Fulton‘s in-fight homage to their company so much … the boxing star tells TMZ Sports he’s actually now in talks with them for an endorsement deal.

Fulton paid tribute to the outdoor footwear co. back on Feb. 1 … when he wore some boxing shorts and boots against Brandon Figueroa that resembled jorts and a pair of Timberlands.

The outfit, designed by The Shoe Surgeon, was so cool — it all went viral on social media … and in the days following the bout, Fulton said Timberland reached out to him.

The 23-1 featherweight said the talks are still in the preliminary phase — so he couldn’t reveal much about their convo — but he made it clear, he’s absolutely hoping it all leads to some kind of contract with the company in the near future.

Fulton, a 30-year-old Philadelphia native who ended up beating Figueroa in the ‘fit by unanimous decision, said he’d be willing to do just about anything for the company … including modeling, commercials and more.

“[A deal] will be another amazing thing for the culture,” he said, “and for me and my career as well.”
