Two-division world champion Rey Vargas and WBC Silver champion O’Shaquie Foster will fight for the vacant super featherweight title endorsed by the World Boxing Council, on Saturday, February 11th at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas.
After a distinguished career at 122 pounds and an outstanding performance to become world champion at 126 pounds in his most recent fight, Vargas looks to add his name alongside Julio César Chávez, Erik Morales and Marco Antonio Barrera to win titles in three divisions. Foster has won nine straight fights to put himself in position to fight for the title.
Vargas (36-0, 22 KOs) was last seen in action in July, when he rose from the canvas to secure a twelve-round decision victory over Mark Magsayo.
Foster (19-2, 11 KOs) saw action in Dubai in March, when he defeated undefeated Muhammadkhuja Yaqubov by twelve round decision in a fight for the WBC Silver title.
The fight is organized by Premier Boxing Champions and will be televised on Showtime.
