Emanuel Navarrete and O’Shaquie Foster made weight for their WBC, WBO, and IBF World junior-lightweight unification title fight scheduled for Saturday, October 24, at the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Texas. The 12-round main event is a unification bout for Navarrete’s IBF and WBO titles and Foster’s WBC title.

The winner will be one major title away from becoming the 130lbs division’s first undisputed champion of the modern era. The fight is described as the most highly-anticipated fight at 130 lbs this year.

Emanuel Navarrete, with a record of 40-2-1 and 33 knockouts, weighed in at 130 lbs for the bout. O’Shaquie Foster, with a record of 25-3 and 12 knockouts, weighed in at 129.8 lbs.

Navarrete is making the sixth defense of the WBO belt he won by stopping Liam Wilson in nine rounds in 2023. He is also making the first defense of the IBF title he won by stopping Eduardo Nunez in 11 rounds in February 2026.

Foster is making the second defense of the WBC title he regained from Robson Conceicao in November 2024.

Navarrete previously held the WBO junior featherweight title from 2018 to 2020 and the WBO featherweight title from 2020 to 2023.

Foster previously won the IBF Interim lightweight championship by decisioning Stephen Fulton in December 2025.

The fight is broadcast live globally on DAZN at 8:00 pm ET. Wil Esco is leading the call for the event with updates and results for undercard bouts and live round-by-round updates for the main event.
