The bout between two former amateur rivals Steven Navarro and Emanuel Moreno has been added to the undercard of Navarrete vs Foster. The DAZN-streamed event takes place at Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Texas, on October 24.
- Los Angeles native Navarro defeated Moreno of Wichita Falls, Texas, by split decision in the semifinals of the 2020 USA Youth National Championships in Shreveport, Louisiana, on April 2, 2021.
- Riding a two-fight winning streak, Navarro (9-1, 6 KOs) makes his third ring appearance of 2026, having stopped Delvin McKinley in August and Mario Hernandez in February.
- Unbeaten Moreno (13-0, 3 KOs) aims for his second win of the year after defeating Francisco Pedroza Portillo by unanimous decision in April.
The contest is scheduled for 10 rounds, with the vacant NABO bantamweight title on the line.
What they’re saying
“Texas! I’m thrilled to fight there and thankful to Top Rank and DAZN for the opportunity to fight on the main card,” Navarro said. “It’s also my first ten-round bout, and I fully intend to give the fans an exciting show and a statement win.”
Moreno said, “I’m grateful for the opportunity to fight on a Top Rank stage. Steven Navarro is a talented fighter and I respect what he brings to the ring. I’ve known him since the amateurs and we actually fought once in the amateurs, but professional boxing is a completely different story, and I’m going to show it.”
“I’m not coming to be another opponent. I’ve worked too hard and sacrificed too much for this moment. On October 24, I’m coming to make a statement and show everyone the level I’m on compared to these other fighters.”
