Foster retained his World Boxing Council belt and won Emanuel Navarrete’s two championships, bringing three super-featherweight titles under one holder.
O’Shaquie Foster defeated Emanuel Navarrete by unanimous decision to hold three world titles in boxing’s super-featherweight, or 130-pound, division. Foster knocked Navarrete down twice in round 12 and won on all three judges’ scorecards.
Foster entered the bout as World Boxing Council (WBC) champion. He retained that belt and took the World Boxing Organization (WBO) and International Boxing Federation (IBF) titles that Navarrete held.
The fight took place on 24 October in San Antonio. Foster’s two final-round knockdowns came before a unanimous decision, meaning every judge scored the bout for him.
| Scorecard | Foster | Navarrete |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 115 | 111 |
| 2 | 118 | 108 |
| 3 | 118 | 108 |
In its 25 October account, the World Boxing Council said Foster prevailed tactically. It said Navarrete accepted the result and acknowledged that Foster’s style, control of distance and technical precision had prevailed throughout the bout.
The 16-year-old was sent off at Fleetwood in his second start of the season, leaving Arsenal short of wing options before Sunday’s trip to Liverpool.
