O’Shaquie Foster defeated Raymond Ford for the WBC title
The fight started with immediate drama. Foster came out aggressive and sent Ford into a frenzy at the end of the first round during an exchange. No points were deducted and the fight continued after a low break.
Ford entered the fight in the second round, finding success with his speed and counterattacks. He landed several pointed shots to the left hand and body, making Foster pay when the champion became too aggressive.
The competition was fierce in the first rounds. Foster pressed forward with combinations and right hands, while Ford relied on timing and accuracy to score on counters. Neither fighter managed to take full control in the first half of the fight.
As the fight progressed, Foster gradually found his rhythm. He increased his punching power, landed his combinations consistently and used effective pressure to force Ford to work harder. The champion’s best stretch came in the middle rounds, when he repeatedly took Ford to right hands and controlled most of the action.
Ford still had his moments, especially when attacking the body and taking shots down the left wing, but Foster’s activity and command in the ring allowed him to move ahead on the scorecards. Ford rallied in the later rounds and finished several exchanges strongly, although Foster remained composed and finished the fight well enough to secure the decision.
After 12 rounds, Foster defended his title in front of his hometown fans and immediately turned his attention to greater opportunities at 130 pounds.
Woodward stops Flores
Featherweight fighter Javon “Pop” Woodward improved to 18-2 (16 KOs) after an eighth-round stoppage of veteran Miguel Flores.
Woodward dropped Flores in the second round with a chopping right hand and continued to apply pressure throughout the fight. Flores showed great determination, fighting through a cut above his left eye and firing multiple times despite taking weighty punishment.
The fight continued until the eighth round, when Woodward scored two more knockdowns. Flores got up from the second, but after the third knockdown he was unable to beat the counter, ending the fight at 2:31 of the round.
Sheehy smashes Theran
Lightweight prospect Charlie Sheehy remained undefeated, improving to 13-0 (8 KO) with a ninth-round knockout of Nike Theran.
Sheehy controlled the fight from the opening bell with disciplined jabbing, true right hands and consistent bodywork. Theran showed resilience and endured some complex moments, but Sheehy’s constant attack gradually wore him down.
After dominating most of the contest, Sheehy finally ended the fight in the ninth round when a right hand dropped Theran for a full count.
Jones flows past Osuna
2024 Olympic bronze medalist Omari Jones improved to 7-0 (4 KO) after winning an eight-round unanimous decision over Diego Osuna.
Jones started quickly, scoring a first-round knockdown with a left hook. From that point on, he controlled the fight with his jabs, movement, and excellent boxing skills.
Osuna showed toughness, surviving several perilous moments, but Jones consistently outplayed him in the remaining rounds, scoring 80-71 on all three cards.
Moses remains undefeated
Lightweight prospect Zaquin Moses improved to 7-0 (3 KO) with a six-round unanimous decision over Travis Crawford.
Moses controlled most of the fight with incredible speed and accuracy, landing cleaner punches throughout the fight. Crawford remained competitive and had the most success in the final round, but Moses responded well and finished the fight strongly, scoring three identical scores of 60-54.
Early results
Super featherweight prospect Julian Montalvo improved to 7-0 (5 KO) after stopping Maximus Moya in the fourth round. Montalvo worked the body intensely throughout the fight before forcing the referee to stop the action at 2:16 of the fourth round.
Middleweight prospect Frank Espinoza improved to 4-0 (4 KO) when a corner kick from Bryce Blackwell stopped the fight ten seconds into the fourth round. Espinoza controlled the action from the first bell and repeatedly hurt Blackwell in the third round.

“It’s crazy when they talk shit to me God punish them.”
FightHype interpreted the post as Crawford reacting to McGregor’s defeat, and many fans reached the same conclusion given the timing.
The two have exchanged words in recent weeks after McGregor claimed Crawford turned down a $200 million two-fight boxing and MMA deal. Crawford rejected that version of events, saying no such offer was ever presented to him.
Crawford did not mention McGregor by name or elaborate on his message, but the post quickly spread across social media.
The reaction was divided. Some boxing fans viewed the message as Crawford reminding McGregor of their recent feud, while many MMA fans criticized the retired four-division champion for appearing to celebrate McGregor’s injury and defeat. Others accused Crawford of invoking divine punishment over a sporting result, calling the post unnecessary.
Neither Crawford nor McGregor has commented further since the exchange reignited discussion between boxing and MMA fans.
Dana White ripped the UFC production team after they mistakenly identified boxing star Shakur Stevenson during Saturday night’s UFC 329 broadcast, saying the company continues to struggle with celebrity recognition despite having produced events for more than two decades.
While discussing the overall production during his post-fight press conference, White praised the show’s presentation before abruptly shifting to one mistake that clearly irritated him.
“I tell you all the time, my production team, we just did the White House. We built a fing arena on the South Lawn of the White House, and it was the greatest fing thing in the world to be there live and to watch it on TV,” White said.
“I just paid Shakur Stevenson a shitload of money. And for some reason, we can’t figure this celebrity s*** out. They put him up as a fing OKC NBA player. Are you fing kidding me?”
White continued venting about the error, saying the UFC has become notorious for misidentifying celebrities shown on its broadcasts.
“We are the absolute worst to ever do the celebrity thing. When we put celebrities up, we are the worst. I just had this fing debate in the back with my guys while I was screaming at everybody back there. They said, ‘No, soccer’s worse. Soccer shows the people, and they don’t put up any graphics.’ Oh no. We put up fing graphics and put the wrong guy’s name on it. We win. We’re the worst ever to f***ing do it.”
Stevenson attended UFC 329 as one of the event’s notable guests following his growing relationship with Zuffa Boxing. White has repeatedly praised the undefeated former three-division world champion and has made him one of the most recognizable boxing figures associated with the promotion’s new venture.
The broadcast mistake quickly drew attention online, with boxing fans sharing clips of White’s profanity-filled reaction and criticizing the production error. The incident also highlighted Zuffa Boxing’s increasing crossover with UFC events as White continues expanding his presence in professional boxing.
