The World Boxing Council (WBC) will close the 2025 boxing calendar with a fight between WBC super featherweight (58.9 kg) world champion O'Shaquie Foster and Stephen Fulton in San Antonio on December 6.
"Foster will defend his world title against Fulton, in a fight that promises to showcase technique, speed, and an immediate impact on the division's hierarchy," the WBC said in a statement on its official website, as monitored in Jakarta on Thursday.
Foster came into the fight as an established champion, after a series of defensive fights that established him as one of the most consistent fighters in the 130-pound division.
His measured and adaptive fighting style makes the American a formidable puzzle for anyone looking to challenge him for the title.
Foster will step into the ring with an undefeated record of 22 wins and two draws, facing Fulton, the featherweight (57 kg) champion, who is looking to conquer a new division.
Fulton's track record as a champion in the lower weight classes gives him credibility, but the upcoming fight represents a different challenge.
He will face a fellow American who is a natural super featherweight champion who has power and rhythm in the 130-pound class.
In his most recent fight in February 2025, Fulton finished Brandon Figueroa in a rematch in Las Vegas to improve his record to 25 wins, two losses, and one draw.
The WBC stated that beyond the championship belt, the fight between the two boxers represented a clash of fighting philosophies, Fulton's mobility versus Foster's tactical precision.
Winning can catapult the winner to greater opportunities, while losing will leave the loser facing difficult questions and choices.
