Robson Conceicao Looking To Prove O’Shaquie Foster Win Wasn’t A Fluke
Robson Conceicao is planning to prove his win over O’Shaquie Foster wasn’t a fluke.
Conceicao is coming off a split-decision win over Foster back in July and the two will have rematch on November 2, 2024 in Verona, New York. Heading into the fight, Conceicao knows people doubt him as they expect Foster to win.
However, Robson Conceicao is confident he will beat Foster again and prove the first win wasn’t a fluke and he is the rightful champ.
“The criticism was tremendously disrespectful, especially since I had already been in two big fights against Oscar Valdez and Emanuel Navarrete,” Conceicao said. “I could have been the champion in both of those fights. Foster’s team wasn’t happy with my win, but he should have asserted himself more as the champion. He ran and avoided the fight.
“I showed I deserved the win. I was the one asserting myself and landing punches,” Conceicao added. “I’m the champion because I fought for it and earned it. As the champion, you have to prove why you’re the champion. You have to assert yourself, not run or throw single shots. Now, he has another chance, but I’m the champion. I’ll show why I’m the champion and go for the knockout. I’m coming to hit him hard and often.”
Robson Conceicao (19-2-1 and one NC) is coming off the decision win over Foster to become the WBC super featherweight champ. In his career, he has a notable win over Xavier Martinez, while his two losses were against Shakur Stevenson and Oscar Valdez.
O’Shaquie Foster, meanwhile, is 22-3 and coming off he loss to Conceicao. In his career, he has notable wins over Abraham Nova, Rey Vargas, Miguel Roman, and Jesus Bravoa among others.
