O'Shaquie Foster is gearing up for an intense showdown with Abraham Nova, set to take place at Madison Square Garden Theater in New York. The fight will be broadcasted live on Sky Sports in the early hours of Saturday morning. Foster, who currently holds the WBC super-featherweight title, is granting Nova an opportunity to vie for the belt, despite feeling that his challenger had previously avoided facing him.
A couple of years ago, Foster was actively calling out Nova, but felt slighted when Nova dismissed him due to his perception of being on a higher pedestal. This disregard has fueled Foster's motivation for this upcoming fight. He wants to prove a point and demonstrate that no one should be made to feel inferior. Foster aims to make a statement in the ring and show Nova why he had avoided their match-up in the past.
Maintaining humility is crucial, regardless of one's position in any situation, and Foster emphasizes the importance of never looking down upon others. He believes that his opponent's arrogance is evident, particularly with the presence of a conceited mascot accompanying Nova to his fights. While Foster acknowledges this, it doesn't faze him. His focus is on the upcoming battle and securing victory.
Foster has already displayed his ability to deliver when it matters most, as witnessed in his last fight against Eduardo Hernandez in Cancun. Despite being unfairly behind on the scorecards heading into the last round, Foster remained calm and knew he needed a knockout to secure the win. And that's precisely what he did. It showcased not only his resolve but also his punching power and determination.
Confidence is radiating from Foster as he approaches his fight with Nova. If he emerges victorious, Foster has his eyes set on even bigger opportunities later in the year. He expresses interest in facing the winner of Liam Wilson versus Oscar Valdez or a potential match-up with Emanuel Navarrete. Furthermore, Foster mentions that Lamont Roach, the WBA champion, could also be a potential opponent if circumstances align.
Foster firmly believes that he is meant to be in this position and feels that he is destined for greatness. He is ready to put on a spectacular show and make a lasting impression. As fight night approaches, anticipation builds, and fans eagerly await the outcome of this intriguing clash between Foster and Nova.
