O’Shaquie Foster vows to right the wrong in exchange for Conceicao

Former world champion O’Shaquie Foster didn’t finish things. The 31-year-old will face Robson Conceição for the WBC junior lightweight title on Saturday, November 2, at Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, Novel York.
Foster lost the title to Conceição in July by split decision, which left him irate and motivated to become a two-time world champion.
Conceição-Foster II headlines the gala, which will be broadcast live and exclusively in the US on ESPN+.
Tickets, promoted by Top Rank, are on sale and can be purchased at the Turning Stone Resort casino box office by calling 800.771.7711 or online at Ticketmaster.com.
After a decorated amateur career, Foster (22-3, 12 KO) turned professional in 2012. After early setbacks, he rebounded with a 12-fight winning streak under trainer Bobby Benton and won the WBC belt by defeating Rey Vargas in February 2023. Foster defended his crown with a thrilling 12th-round stoppage of Rocky Hernandez on the enemy’s field, then defeated Abraham Nova in his second defense to score the points.
Here’s what Foster had to say after a recent training session in Houston:
“The fight was basic. I didn’t see where the judges came up with this decision. But the fight was basic for me. I only saw that I could be more dynamic and relax my hands more in some situations.
“There are a lot of things I can do in this ring. I feel like I could have just put in more combos. I could have done a little more. But now I have the opportunity to do it again. Not everyone gets this chance. Often people get robbed and don’t get revenge. So I’m ecstatic that I managed to get this rematch and I want to let my hands do more.”
“I feel like he could try to go out and do something different, but if you watch his fights you see he fights the same way every time. It doesn’t change it much. But in my opinion, I just focus on what I can do. I’m good at rematches. I often caught them from amateurs and always took revenge on them. This is my first time competing, so I’m excited about it. “It’ll be fun.”
“I want the biggest fights. On December 7 we have the fight Emanuel Navarrete vs. Oscar Valdez. So I feel like everything will fit perfectly.”

Tyson Fury vows: “I’m going to destroy this motherfucker!”

2 days agoon
December 20, 2024Tyson Fury isn’t holding back on his desire for revenge against Oleksandr Usyk as the pair collided on Saturday night.
Fury aims to win the unified heavyweight title for the first time in nine years when he faces current champion Usyk six months after his first loss to the Ukrainian.
As the pair completed media formalities for the superfight, Fury made it clear how the fight would end.
“For the record, I’m going to absolutely annihilate this motherfucker on Saturday night. No pension. I will neat them all and he will be the first,” Fury assured.
Asked if he would try to do to Usyk what he did to Deontay Wilder in the rematch, Fury replied: “It was a long time ago” in reference to the 2020 knockout.
“[I’m] I’m not sure [if that Tyson Fury is there anymore]. Perhaps it has evaporated. Who knows? The legs may disappear. China may no longer exist. Boxing skills can be shot. We’ll find out on the 21st. That’s why you need to tune in to the pay-per-view on DAZN. Come and see whether the venerable dance master still understands it or not.
Referring to the training camp in Malta, Fury added: “[The] The weather is different, of course, but training is training, no matter where you are. These are very mundane, routine things. This happens again and again.
“For me, it doesn’t really matter where the camp is. I’ve attended camps in Vegas, Spain, everywhere, and I’m one of those people who doesn’t get distracted and gets the job done anyway. That’s what I do.
“If I were to train in a nightclub, I wouldn’t dance around the disco in the evening. I would just train.

Brooklyn heavyweight Pryce Taylor is looking forward to 2025
Published

December 18, 2024Fighting for the first time with the full support of his promoter, Salita Promotions, undefeated Brooklyn heavyweight Pryce Taylor later said he was confident and confident he could do well in boxing.
Taylor (5-0, 3 KO), 28, defeated KeShawn Jackson last Thursday night in Flint, Michigan, fighting in an exhibition put on by his promoter in which he recorded an impressive third-round stoppage to finish his 2024 campaign on a high. year note.
“It was good to fight on a bigger stage, in a compact arena, in a nice atmosphere,” Taylor said about his first fight with a promotional contract. “My manager, Keith Sullivan, supported me by agreeing to sign with Salita Promotions. He talked to several promoters, but we felt that Dimitri Salita would be the right candidate for me.
“I felt like I had succeeded; I felt essential, but that was just the beginning. It was the same on fight night, I felt respect and appreciation from the entire Salita promotional company. My goal is to be a more recognizable player and be recognized by the fans. I’m hungry to perform in the coming year.”
“Four knockdowns were counted. I really hurt him with a body shot and when he felt my power he was done. I threw a barrage of punches into the corner (ss photo below) and he tried to hit me with a windmill punch. Then I hit him with a check hook, which ended the fight. He (Jackson) didn’t want to get knocked out, so he tried to show he was still fighting.”
“Of course,” Sullivan commented, “I’m joyful with the victory. This was another developmental fight and Pryce is learning and developing as a fighter. We had a busy year with 8 fights scheduled and 5 that actually crossed the line, so it was a very good first year for him as a pro. Right after that, I talked to Dimitri to arrange the next fight. We hope to have it scheduled in the coming weeks.”
Looking ahead to 2025, Taylor wants his next fight to be a six-rounder scheduled for his next outing, then move up to eight to fight for the junior title.
“I will now train to play 10 rounds,” Taylor concluded, “so that I will be ready when it comes time to play 12 rounds.”
