Tim Bradley has named his winner for this evening’s O’Shaquie Foster vs Emanuel Navarrete unification battle.

WBC champion Foster collides with WBO and IBF titleholder Navarrete tonight at the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Texas.

It brings together the two best 130lb fighters on the planet, with Navarrete having stopped Eduardo Nunez in his last bout back in February, while Foster defeated Ray Ford by majority decision during his most recent action in May.

Speaking to his YouTube channel ahead of the showdown, two-weight world champion Bradley began by breaking down the contest.

“Foster has got his hands full. Navarrete is one of those fighters that has always defied the odds. He’s always done it his way. His way has always been good enough. I think this fight is extremely dangerous for both. Foster definitely has the tools to beat Navarrete and Navarrete has the tools to beat Foster.

“I think Foster has to be perfect, I do. From my experience in calling Navarrete fights and speaking to fighters that have fought him, every fighter has said the same thing. It didn’t matter what weight it was or when they fought, every single fighter has said they have never ever in all their years been hit as hard as Navarrete hit.”

Despite acknowledging the threat that Navarrete possesses, Bradley revealed he is tipping Foster to come out on top.

“My prediction is I’m going with Foster. He’s going to show why he’s pound-for-pound. He is focused now. In the past when he suffered a couple of losses, things weren’t aligned.

“Now he’s got the promotional team, his actual team where he trains with, he’s got that now. He’s got money to pay for the best sparring partners, the best treatment, the best therapy, he has all that now.

“He has fought experienced guys. Guys where he wasn’t the favourite to win. I got him winning this fight but it’s going to be a damn good fight.”

Whoever gets their hand raised in this evening’s fight may look to then target an undisputed showdown with the winner of December’s WBA title clash between Anthony Cacace and Nick Ball, with Cacace having claimed the belt with a victory over Jazza Dickens.

Dalton Smith will make the first defence of his WBC light-welterweight title on home soil when he faces former champion Alberto Puello in Sheffield on Saturday.

Unbeaten Smith, 29, returns to the ring for the first time since becoming world champion with a stunning knockout of Subriel Matias in New York in January.

Dominican Republic fighter Puello, 32, is aiming to become a three-time world champion, having lost his WBC belt to Matias on points last year.

Smith will have the backing of his home crowd at the Utilita Arena. Can he keep his dream of fighting at Sheffield Wednesday’s Hillsborough stadium alive with another win?

Or will the tricky and experienced southpaw Puello, who has lost just once in 26 professional fights, ruin the homecoming?

BBC Sport spoke to figures from across the boxing world to get their predictions on who will come out on top.
