Fight Preview
The weekend’s main boxing event takes place at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas, between Rey Vargas and O’Shaquie Foster for the vacant WBC super featherweight title. Vargas aspires to win three divisions and compete in the pound-for-pound discussion. If he defeats the difficult Foster, who has been waiting four years for his title fight, he will undoubtedly earn it.
Vargas won a featherweight title by defeating Mark Magsayo in his previous fight, but he’s choosing to step up to super featherweight to win a new title rather than defending his existing one. Shakur Stevenson departed the division and vacated his belts, therefore Foster spent the last four years as the WBC silver champion on the sidelines and only now is Foster competing for a crown.
The Mexican has subtly amassed an impressive corpus of work while remaining anonymous. In 2022, he defeated Magsayo in an entertaining match that brought him back into the public eye. If he defeats Foster, he will win his third championship in as many categories. Vargas, who is 32 and nearing the end of his peak, is still looking for a trademark moment that will propel him toward a significant fight.
