THE World Boxing Council (WBC) have been good to Rey Vargas over the years and on Saturday night, inside San Antonio’s Alamodome in Texas, the Mexican attempts to win his third divisional belt with the sanctioning body. Also contesting the vacant WBC super-featherweight strap (relinquished by Shakur Stevenson) will be Houston’s O’Shaquie Foster, a boxer in good form who is ranked No.6 at 130lbs.
Vargas makes the step up from featherweight, where he is the WBC’s belt-holder and the world No.3.
