On Saturday in Houston, Texas, O’Shaquie Foster will defend his WBC super featherweight world title in a hard-fought clash with former world champion Raymond Ford.
Foster will face Ford at the Fertitta Center, live on DAZN worldwide.
The two exchanged words throughout the build-up, and their rivalry ended on Tuesday when Foster pushed aside his rival as they came face-to-face for the first time during fight week.
Ford returned the favor at Thursday’s final news conference by shoving his compatriot before security separated them from further altercations.
Foster (24-3, 12 KO) reigns for a second time as the WBC super featherweight world champion, regaining the belt after losing it in a controversial split decision loss to Robson Conceicao.

However, after Fulton missed weight, the pair instead fought for the WBC interim lightweight title, with Foster winning comfortably on points.

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.

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.
