What Time Is Navarrete vs. Foster?

Date: Saturday, October 24, 2026
Venue: Frost Bank Center, San Antonio, Texas
Fight card starts: 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT / 12 a.m. UK Sunday
Main-event ring walks: Not confirmed
Streaming: LIVE on DAZN
Titles: WBO, IBF and WBC super featherweight

The 8 p.m. ET start applies to the DAZN fight card rather than the Navarrete-Foster ring walks.

No official main-event time has been supplied. Albert Gonzalez-Edward Vazquez, Frank Martin’s 10-round fight and another bout are scheduled beneath the main event, so the length of those fights will determine when Navarrete and Foster enter the ring.

Three Belts Collide at 130 Pounds

Navarrete (40-2-1, 33 KOs) puts his WBO and IBF belts against Foster’s WBC championship in a fight that can establish one clear leader at super featherweight.

The Mexican has stopped opponents with pressure, awkward punch delivery and heavy combinations. He halted Eduardo Nuñez after 10 rounds in February, adding the IBF belt to his collection.

Foster (25-3, 12 KOs) brings a different set of tools. He can box off his feet, counter and make opponents pay when they overcommit. Wins over Stephen Fulton and Raymond Ford carry him into his biggest unification assignment.

Navarrete should want to turn up the pressure, dig downstairs and force Foster to work through exchanges. Foster’s job is to disrupt those attacks with the jab, move after punching and punish Navarrete when he comes forward without his feet underneath him.

How to Watch Navarrete vs. Foster

The card streams LIVE on DAZN from 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT on Saturday. UK viewers can watch from 12 a.m. Sunday.

Navarrete cannot simply march Foster down and expect volume to settle it. Foster has the feet and counters to punish careless pressure. Navarrete needs to cut off the ring, attack the body and make Foster exchange often enough for his heavier combinations to take command.

  1. I disagree with the framing that Navarrete “cannot simply march Foster down” as if pressure is some naive strategy. Pressure is exactly how you break slick boxers when it’s layered with feints and body shots, which Navarrete does well. The real question is whether Foster can maintain disciplined clinches and angles for the entire fight, not whether Navarrete needs to reinvent his approach. Your breakdown makes it sound more complicated than it is.

  2. The analysis oversells Foster’s countering as if it automatically neutralizes pressure, yet you don’t address his relatively modest knockout rate at all. If Foster can’t discourage Navarrete physically, movement alone won’t be enough over 12 rounds. Also, calling Fulton and Ford wins a direct setup for a 130-pound unification ignores stylistic differences; those names don’t guarantee he can handle Navarrete’s awkward volume and body work.

  3. You keep repeating that the 8 p.m. ET start is for the card, but the article still fails to deliver what most fans actually need: a realistic main-event window. Saying it “depends” on undercard length is obvious and not helpful. DAZN and promoters always have internal run sheets, so pretending there’s no workable estimate feels like dodging accountability for basic scheduling clarity.
