He encountered two early-career setbacks, including a split decision defeat to Rolando Chinea in July 2016, which he assuredly learned from.<\/p>\n<p>He returned more than a year later with renowned trainer Bobby Benton and has since then he has gone 12-0. Last February, he won the WBC world title with a points verdict over two-division world champion Rey Vargas before a dramatic 12th-round knockout win against Eduardo \u201cRocky\u201d Hernandez in October in a memorable thriller. The following month, Foster signed a long-term promotional deal with Top Rank. He returns after securing a well-earned split decision over Abraham Nova in February.<\/p>\n<p>Concei\u00e7\u00e3o (18-2-1, 9 KOs), Brazil\u2019s inaugural Olympic boxing gold medalist, turned pro in November 2016. His only losses have come against hitherto unbeaten world champions, including a close decision against then-WBC champ Oscar Valdez in September 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Following the setback to Shakur Stevenson, Concei\u00e7\u00e3o\u2019s June 2022 showdown against Nicolas Polanco ended in a no contest. He followed up by challenging three-weight world champion Emanuel Navarrete last November, rising twice from the canvas and battling to a majority draw. In April, he registered a seventh-round TKO against Jose Guardado.<\/p>\n<p>Promoted by Top Rank, in association with Universum Boxing, tickets go on sale Wednesday, May 22 at 2 p.m. ET via <a href=\"http:\/\/ticketmaster.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ticketmaster.com.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-118641\" src=\"https:\/\/wbcboxing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/foster-conceina2023\/o.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1346\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Foster determined to steal the Show against Rob On Saturday, July 6, at Prudential Center Newark, New Jersey, O\u2019Shaquie Foster will defend his WBC super featherweight<span class=\"excerpt-hellip\"> [\u2026]<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":118640,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[121,120],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-122660","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-main-news","category-news"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wbcboxing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/122660","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wbcboxing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wbcboxing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wbcboxing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wbcboxing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=122660"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wbcboxing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/122660\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wbcboxing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/118640"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wbcboxing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=122660"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wbcboxing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=122660"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wbcboxing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=122660"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
