Isaac Cruz v Lamont Roach: Cruz retains WBC title with controversial draw

Advertisements

Earlier, O’Shaquie Foster made light work of fellow American Stephen Fulton to win the WBC interim lightweight title by majority decision.

The fight was scheduled to be for Foster’s WBC super-featherweight title, but Fulton came in 2lb overweight at Friday’s weigh-in.

Foster outboxed Fulton to win 117-111, 118-110 and 119-109 on the judges’ scorecards.

Foster became the mandatory challenger to the winner of the fight between WBO light-welterweight champion Teofimo Lopez and Shakur Stevenson on 31 January.

Erislandy Lara retained his WBA middleweight title with a dominant win against Venezuela’s Johan Gonzalez.

Cuban-American Lara, 42, scored two knockdowns and looked sharp despite fighting for the first time since a stoppage win against Danny Garcia in September 2024.

Lara floored Gonzalez – a late replacement this week after Janibek Alimkhanuly failed a drugs test – in the first and last rounds.

The judges scored the fight 118-108, 119-107 and 120-106.
