WBC junior lightweight champion O’Shaquie Foster will have the biggest fight of his career to date on Saturday, December 6th at Frost Bank Center in San Antonio. Foster will defend his title against reigning WBC featherweight champion Stephen Fulton Jr. as Fulton bids to become a three-division champion. The fight was originally scheduled for October, but was cancelled when the main event for that night fell apart. Foster-Fulton will now take place on a December 6th pay-per-view show headlined by Isaac Cruz, a former title holder, against Lamont Roach, the reigning WBA 130-pound champion moving up to 140 pounds for the Cruz fight. Here is what Foster had to say at this week's virtual press conference:
“I’m glad this fight is happening. It’s supposed to have happened a couple of times. We’re fighting, so there’s animosity period. It’s not personal, but he’s trying to take something off my plate.
“This last time when the fight got pushed back it definitely pissed me off because we were so close. But it just gave me more time to prepare. I don’t ever have problems with weight, so that wasn’t affected. I’m just more prepared mentally and physically.
“All of this talk is motivation to me. I can’t lie to you. I’m having fun with it and I’m just ready to put on a show.
“We’ve said a lot, but December 6th, we’re coming out there to put on a great show. This fight has been coming for the longest and I’m ready to dominate. He’s coming into my stomping grounds and I feel good about it.
“I know he made a mistake trying to make this fight period. I’m gonna go in there and dominate and show the world why he doesn’t belong in the ring with me.”
