O’Shaquie Foster vs. Raymond Ford – results and post-fight report
At the Fertitta Center in Houston, Texas, O’Shaquie Foster defended his WBC super featherweight title with a twelve-round majority decision victory over Raymond Ford.
Ford’s only loss before the Foster fight came to Nick Ball in 2024.
Since regaining the WBC belt in the rematch With a decision victory over Robson Conceicao in November 2024, Foster (25-3, KO12) was seen in the ring just once, winning the WBC interim lightweight crown with a wide points victory against Stephen Fulton in San Antonio in December 2025.
Ford (18-2-1, KO8) has won three times since losing the 2024 WBA crown to Nick Ball, all in ten rounds, with his last victory over Abraham Nova in August last year.
The opening round was eventful this round, with Foster attacking and then throwing Ford out of the ring at the end of the frame.
Ford recovered well from the shock and delivered a decisive combination in round two, and although Ford went on the attack in round three, Ford responded well, working to good effect on the head and body.
Foster landed multiple punches, and Foster landed a decent uppercut in the fifth round and some good counters in the sixth.
The champion was starting to take control, much more energetic and attacking than his opponent, and in round eight Ford was overworked as Foster landed several combination shots.
Entering the championship rounds, Ford stopped the rot with a solid ten, landing a counter right hook and attacking the body well.
This proved to be a false dawn, as in the penultimate session Foster landed a huge left hook that rocked Ford to his knees, and he kept increasing the pace until the final bell.

On Wednesday, Lewis Crocker heads to Australia to defend his IBF welterweight world title against Liam Paro for the first time.
Crocker will face Paro at the Pat Rafter Arena in Queensland, live on DAZN in the UK and Kayo Sports in Australia.
Crocker (22-0, 11 KO) became world champion in September, defeating Paddy Donovan twice before winning the rematch by split decision.
Man from Belfast recorded his second victory over Donovan after the first victory in March last year, and his rival was disqualified for hitting him after the bell.
Paro (27-1, 16 KO) is trying to become a world champion in two weight categories, having previously reigned in the super-lightweight division.
The 30-year-old won the title with a unanimous decision victory over Subriel Matias in Puerto Rico before winning the belt in his first defense against Richardson Hitchins.
The Australian has since won twice, overtaking David Papot in his last appearance in September.
McKean meets Taliva
Heavyweight Demsey McKean will look to continue his rebuild when he faces Liam Talivaa for the vacant IBF Pan Pacific title.
McKean (24-2, 16 KO) had his career cut miniature after a last-round loss to Filip Hrgovic, followed by a brutal first-round loss to Moses Itauma.

The 35-year-old southpaw returned to winning ways with back-to-back stoppage victories.
Talivaa (8-2, 4 KO) last won the IBF Oceania-Orient title, defeating Faiga Opelu by first-round stoppage.
Undercard remaining
At cruiserweight, Luke Modini (13-0, 11 KO) will likely need distance to beat Peng Qu (17-2-1, 12 KO), while Riley Candy (8-1, 5 KO) could stop Nathan Watson (11-3, 3 KO) at super middleweight.
Vegas Larfield (13-1, 9 KO) can hand Shamal Ram Anuj (11-8, 8 KO) his fourth defeat in a row in a featherweight clash.
Heavyweight Nelson Asofa-Solomon (2-0, 2 KO) can secure a third straight knockout over debutant George Burgess, and Stevan Ivic (8-0-1, 2 KO) can do the same against Caleb Tialu (3-7, 3 KO), also a heavyweight.
Prospective super welterweight fighter Jack Javed (1-0) should overtake Lance McDonald (1-5-1, 1 KO).
