Two-weight world champion Rey Vargas returns to action on Saturday night when he takes on O'Shaquie Foster for the vacant WBC super featherweight world title.
Vargas comes into this bout on the back of world title success when he overcame WBC featherweight champion Mark Magsayo last July.
Now after Shakur Stevenson vacated the WBC 130lb title in September, mandatory challenger Foster will be given a shot at the belt, but he will be an underdog for this contest against an experienced Vargas despite beating Muhammadkhuja Yaqubov in his lastest outing.
