A boxing world championship unification is set for October 24 as Emanuel Navarrete (40-2-1, 33 KOs and 1 NC) and O’Shaquie Foster 25-3 (12 KOs) have agreed to put their respective titles on the line for a San Antonio fight.
Navarrete, a three-division world champion, won his first belt at super featherweight in 2023 when he scored a ninth-round TKO over Liam Wilson and retained it three times before adding the IBF belt with an 11th-round TKO over Eduardo Nunez, earlier this year.
Foster, meanwhile, has fought in 130-pound world title fights since 2023 when he outpointed Rey Vargas to pick up the WBC championship. He has since beaten Abraham Nova, gone 1-1 with Robson Conceicao, and defeated Stephen Fulton and Raymond Ford, too.
Reports this week suggest the fight is set for the Alamodome, an expandable domed, indoor venue home to the University of Texas at San Antonio Road Runners.
Foster’s WBC belt, as well as Navarrete’s WBO and IBF titles, will all be on the line. Top Rank represents both boxers.
