DAZN’s Chris Mannix reported on Saturday that Emanuel Navarrete and O’Shaquie Foster will meet in a 130-pound title unification bout on October 24 at the Alamodome in San Antonio.

With Navarrete being The Ring’s No. 1-ranked junior lightweight and Foster being No. 2, The Ring title could be on the line.

Whether Navarrete’s WBO belt will be on the line remains to be seen. He has been ordered by the sanctioning body to face Charly Suarez in a rematch after they fought to a controversial no-contest due to a cut in May of last year. Had referee Edward Collantes properly ruled that Navarrete’s cut came from a punch rather than a headbutt, Suarez (19-0, 11 KOs, 1 NC) would have won by stoppage.

Navarrete (40-2-1, 33 KOs, 1 NC) originally won by technical unanimous decision after the fight was stopped at the beginning of the eighth round, but the result was later changed to a no-contest.

Navarrete, 31, became the IBF and WBO titleholder with a dominant 11th-round stoppage of Eduardo Nunez on February 28. The Mexican is a three-division titleholder. Foster (25-3, 12 KOs) is a two-time WBC lightweight champion. The Orange, Texas, native first won the title in February 2023 with a unanimous decision over Rey Vargas. He reclaimed the title in November 2024 when he beat Robson Conceicao by unanimous decision in their rematch. Foster, 32, is coming off an impressive unanimous decision victory over Ray Ford on May 30.
