O’Shaquie Foster preparing to defend WBC crown in Cancun (VIDEO)
O’Shaquie Foster will defend his World Boxing Council super featherweight world title against Eduardo ‘Rocky’ Hernández at Polideportivo Benito Juárez in Cancún, Quintana Roo, Mexico, on Saturday, October 28, which will be broadcast live globally on DAZN.
Foster (20-2 11 KOs) won the Green and Gold Belt in San Antonio, Texas in February, becoming the first fighter to defeat Mexico’s Rey Vargas on points to become world champion. The Houston fighter again faces a Mexican opponent in his first defense.
Hernandez (34-1, 31 KOs) got his chance to face Foster on the back of a winning streak by KO, recording his sixth straight six-round victory with a third-round blowout over Hector Garcia in Monterrey last July.
“It’s that time again!” said Foster. King Shock is back in action. I’m excited for the opportunity to be back in the ring and defend my title.
“We’re once again going into uncharted territory, so I’m eager to prove once again that I’m the best in the world and that I’m here to stay! Come October 28, I will dominate!”
“I’ve dreamed about this moment my whole life,” said Hernandez. “O’Shaquie is the best 130lbs champion. I beat him, and I show the world that I’m the best in the division.
“This is going to be an explosive clash in Cancun,” said promoter Eddie Hearn. “O’Shaquie will be full of confidence heading into his first defense after beating a great fighter like Vargas to win the title, but Rocky is a ferocious puncher that has been destroying everyone put in front of him and won’t take a backwards step in trying to achieve his dream. This is a fight not to miss and I expect yet another great Matchroom fight night in Mexico on October 28.”
