O'Shaquie Foster Says He Will Dominate Emanuel Navarrete in Unification Bout

O'Shaquie Foster is not just confident heading into his October 24 unification fight with Emanuel Navarrete. He is borderline certain.

Speaking on Tim Bradley's channel, Foster laid out his case for why he will take Navarrete's belt in San Antonio at 130 pounds. "I believe not only that I can beat Navarrete, I believe that I can do it in a dominant fashion, a super dominant fashion," Foster said.

Foster acknowledged the challenge. He rated the matchup a 9 out of 10 in difficulty and called Navarrete the biggest threat of his career. Navarrete is known for throwing wild, looping punches from unusual angles and applying relentless pressure from the opening bell to the final seconds.

But Foster said he has the blueprint. He plans to fight from the outside and pick Navarrete apart, citing past performances against Rey Vargas, Robson Conceicao and Jon Fernandez as evidence he can handle height, awkward angles and long-range pressure.

"I could make this an easy night and just box his head off," Foster said. He added that he is coming to San Antonio to make a statement and show "who I really am."

The 130-pound unification is one of the most anticipated matchups of the fall boxing calendar. Both fighters bring title belts and contrasting styles that should make for an action-packed night.
