Stephen Fulton will jump to junior lightweight to face WBC 130 lbs titleholder O’Shaquie Foster as the co-main event on the October 25 Premier Boxing Champions pay-per-view at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The Prime Video/PPV.COM card is headlined by WBC junior middleweight champion Sebastian Fundora vs. former welterweight titlist Keith Thurman.
Fulton, the new WBC titlist at featherweight, meets Foster two months after their matchup was originally slated for the scrapped August Gervonta Davis–Lamont Roach Jr. rematch card. It’s a clean champion-vs-champion hook, with Fulton bringing momentum from his February win over then-titleholder Brandon Figueroa and Foster defending the green strap at 130.
Beyond the belts, the bout is notable for the collaboration: Foster is aligned with Top Rank while Fulton fights under the PBC banner. A formal Los Angeles press conference is planned for Wednesday, setting the stage for one of the fall’s sharper co-mains.
