Boxing Match Preview: Stephen Fulton (23-1-0, 8 KOs) vs. O’Shaquie Foster (23-3-0, 12 KOs)

The super featherweight division delivers a technical masterpiece on the co-main event of the PBC on Prime Video PPV card as former two-division champion Stephen “Cool Boy Steph” Fulton Jr. (23-1, 8 KOs) challenges reigning WBC titlist O’Shaquie “Ice Water” Foster (23-3, 12 KOs) on Saturday, December 6, 2025. Fulton, the 31-year-old Philadelphia technician ranked No. 2 by The Ring at 130 pounds, moves up from featherweight seeking a third divisional crown after reclaiming the WBC featherweight belt in February. His measured, high-IQ style has dismantled elites, but a career-worst TKO loss to Naoya Inoue in 2023 exposed vulnerabilities in power and durability. Foster, the 32-year-old Orange, Texas native ranked No. 1 by The Ring, enters his first defense of a second title reign following a controversial split-decision rematch win over Robson Conceição in November 2024. The two-time champ’s switch-hitting versatility and iron chin have defined his 22-1 run from 2017-2024, but back-to-back razor-thin decisions highlight his susceptibility to close fights. This 12-round title bout—rescheduled twice amid card chaos—promises a chess match of feints, counters, and footwork, with the winner eyeing unification shots against the likes of Gervonta Davis or William Zepeda in 2026.

Venue Location

The gloves touch at the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Texas, at 1 AT&T Way. Opened in 2002 as the AT&T Center (renamed in 2023), this 18,418-seat multi-purpose arena anchors the city’s east side, serving as home to the NBA’s San Antonio Spurs and hosting over 200 events annually. For boxing, its elevated stage and central ring setup offer premium sightlines, with recent upgrades including LED ring lighting and expanded VIP suites. Adjacent to the Alamodome and Henry B. González Convention Center, it’s accessible via VIA Metropolitan Transit buses (Route 4) or rideshares (Uber/Lyft zones at main entrance)—parking in the attached garage runs $15-25/event. Foster, a Texas native, draws local flavor with concessions like Tex-Mex tacos ($10) and Spurs-themed bars; expect a pro-Foster crowd of 12,000+ (tickets via Ticketmaster start at $75 for upper bowl, PPV $79.99 on Prime Video). This marks PBC’s return to San Antonio since 2019’s Errol Spence Jr. win.

Time: 8:00 p.m. CT (9:00 p.m. ET / 6:00 p.m. PT) for main card start; Fulton-Foster ring walks ~11:30 p.m. CT (12:30 a.m. ET)

Broadcast: PBC PPV on Prime Video ($79.99, available on smart TVs, Fire TV, Roku, etc.); prelims on Prime Video at 6:00 p.m. CT (free with subscription). International: DAZN (select markets); radio on SiriusXM Fight Nation (Ch. 93).

Injury Report

Both enter pristine after full camps, with no active injuries per Thursday medicals. Fulton’s 2023 Inoue TKO involved facial fractures (resolved by 2024), but he’s fought thrice since without issue; a minor hand wrap tweak in September cleared quickly. Foster’s 2024 Conceição wars caused no structural damage—his split losses were decision-only—and a brief rest post-rematch aided recovery. Weigh-ins confirmed both at 130 lbs; expect standard rehydration but peak sharpness.
