WBC 130-pound champion O’Shaquie Foster and WBC 126-pound champion Stephen Fulton previewed their battle of champions during a virtual press conference Wednesday before they step into the ring on Saturday, October 25th on a PBC Pay-Per-View on Prime Video event from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. They will battle for Foster’s 130-pound world title in a duel between two fighters who’ve now gone back and forth during multiple media events proclaiming their confidence. The four-fight card is topped by WBC 154-pound champion Sebastian “The Towering Inferno” Fundora looking to continue his reign against the former unified 147-pound champion Keith “One Time” Thurman. Here is what Foster had to say Wednesday:

 

“It’s gonna be fireworks, but we’re standing on business. That belt isn’t going anywhere.

 

“I thought he had nervous energy at our first face off. Whatever energy I bring, I’m bringing the same energy every time. I have to look at these people like they’re taking something off my plate. But I’m not playing.

 

“This is the biggest moment of my career because this fight will take me where I want to go in the sport. This is the most important fight of my career.

 

“This isn’t gonna be like Terence Crawford moving up in weight. That’s not happening. I’m handling business.

 

“I didn’t think it was that great a performance from Fulton in the rematch against Brandon Figueroa. It was a good performance and he won, but I feel like people are trying to make it something it’s not. I thought he was actually better in the first fight.

 

“I don’t think about the judges too much. If I’m worried about that, I won’t fight to my full ability. The first fight with Robson Conceicao though did teach me to not be complacent and finish strong. I’m not trying to let it go to decision. I have to be consistent the whole fight.

 

“We could say I had a rough last year and I feel like ever since then, people don’t think I’m worthy of my status. People think it’s sweet. But I know my potential and I’ve made some changes. So you’re gonna see a different me. I’m gonna be the best, sharpest fighter that I’ve been.

 

“I feel like I’m being disrespected. We’re fighting for my title. That’s where all my energy came from at the first press conference. I’m planning on making everyone pay for it on October 25.

 

“The Fulton fight is the perfect opportunity for me to get an opponent who’s more accomplished in front of me. He’s a good name on my resume. We’ve been watching him and it’s a good fight that came across our table.

 

“I’ve just been sharpening my tools the whole time while this fight was being locked in. I’ve just been making sure that I’m gonna be the most skilled when I get into the ring.”
