Overview
- O'Shaquie Foster won a unanimous decision over Stephen Fulton with scores of 117-111, 118-110, and 119-109 in San Antonio.
- Hours after the weigh-in, the WBC switched the contest from a 130-pound title fight to an interim lightweight bout when Fulton came in at 132 pounds.
- The win makes Foster the mandatory challenger for Shakur Stevenson's WBC lightweight belt, contingent on Stevenson returning to the division after his scheduled fight with Teofimo Lopez.
- Fulton was ineligible to fight for a 130-pound title due to missing weight and was reported as likely to forfeit a portion of his purse to Foster.
- The event experienced further turbulence during fight week, including failed drug tests that removed Janibek Alimkhanuly from a planned unification and moved Erislandy Lara to face late replacement Johan Gonzalez.
