SAN ANTONIO — Emanuel Navarrete and O’Shaquie Foster will collide in a three-belt super featherweight unification to headline boxing’s schedule for 24-25 October, with Navarrete’s WBO and IBF titles and Foster’s WBC crown on the line in San Antonio, Texas. The weekend also features Dalton Smith’s first defence of his WBC super lightweight title against Alberto Puello in Sheffield, England, in a stacked slate across Texas and the UK.
The San Antonio main event pairs contrasting styles. Navarrete is an unconventional, powerful crowd-pleaser whose only official loss in 14 years came by split decision to Denys Berinchyk in his sole professional outing at lightweight, before he returned to 130 lbs where he is now a unified champion. Foster is a quick, shrewd and strategic operator who has found edges whether slugging and stopping Rocky Hernandez or outworking former pound-for-pound talent, setting up a stylistic debate ranked among the five best unification fights available.
In Sheffield, Smith defends the WBC super lightweight title he won last time out with a fifth-round knockout of Subriel Matias in January. Matias had claimed the belt in his previous fight against Puello via majority decision in July 2025. Smith will attempt to become the first man to successfully defend the WBC 140 lbs belt since Regis Prograis in the summer of 2023, while Puello aims to reclaim the title he previously held.
On the Sheffield undercard, Maxi Hughes meets Giorgio Visioli for a lesser WBC lightweight belt and Shannon Ryan defends her British and Commonwealth super flyweight belts against Emma Dolan, with additional prelims streaming on DAZN from 12:00 pm ET. In San Antonio, chief support pits unbeaten Albert “Chop Chop” Gonzalez, 24, who is 18-0 (11 KO), against Edward Vazquez, plus Steven Navarro versus Emanuel Moreno at bantamweight. In London, England, DAZN spotlight Shauna Browne versus Jade Burden at lightweight, with vacant IBO title fights between Archie Sharp and Ross Driscoll for the Continental lightweight belt and Tiago Muxanga against Muzamiru Kakande for the European super welterweight title.
