What people are saying
We’ll see each other this October 24; the fight is basically complete, and in San Antonio, Texas, we’ll be unifying the WBO, IBF and WBC world titles that O’Shaquie Foster now holds. Thank you very much for the support.
With this part of the unifications already underway, it would be easier and more viable to get access to the fourth title, but it’s a somewhat complicated process.
He has not faced anyone in my level or calibre, period.
