The O'Shaquie Foster-Stephen Fulton WBC junior lightweight title fight is being rescheduled for Dec. 6 in San Antonio, sources told
The Ring.
This is the third different date for the snake-bitten 130-pound title fight.
Foster was set to defend his title against
Fulton on Aug. 16 in Las Vegas on the undercard of a proposed Gervonta Davis-Lamont Roach rematch.
When the Davis-Roach bout was scrapped, Foster-Fulton was shifted to the Oct. 25 undercard of Sebastian Fundora-Keith Thurman in Las Vegas. This past week,
Fundora suffered a hand injury that postponed the bout.
Now, Foster and Fulton will meet Dec. 6 in San Antonio as part of a stacked PBC on Prime Video PPV undercard topped by Isaac Cruz-Lamont Roach.
The matchup is one of two bouts featuring boxers promoted by Top Rank vs. those aligned with PBC, with Janibek Alimkhanuly-Erislandy Lara the other.
Foster, 32, is The Ring’s No. 1 boxer at 130 pounds. He regained his title in November when he outpointed
Robson Conceicao in a rematch.
Houston’s Foster (23-3, 12 KOs) won the title from
Rey Vargas and made two successful defenses before defeat by Conceicao.
Philadelphia’s Fulton is The Ring’s No. 4 featherweight. He’s the WBC champion at 126 pounds, a title Fulton (23-1, 8 KOs) won in February with a
convincing decision win over Brandon Figueroa during their rematch.
The 31-year-old will look to become a three-division champion with victory. His lone professional defeat came in
July 2023 when he was knocked out by Naoya Inoue in a two-belt title unification bout in Tokyo.
