Take a look at a few of what he needed to say beneath.
On what he makes of Foster as a fighter
“O’Shaquie is an total nice fighter. You possibly can’t deny his ability set, his adversity, what he’s been by. He’s an ideal fighter.”
On Foster saying he prevented a struggle towards him up to now
“So when he stated that, he stated that I denied him — as a result of he did name me out — however I by no means denied him as a result of he stated that I stated he was ‘clout chasing’ or one thing like that. I by no means stated that. That by no means got here out my mouth. That struggle didn’t occur as a result of he’s with a distinct community, I’m with a distinct community, and it didn’t make sense, particularly it being the start of my profession.
“After all it is smart now, it’s for a world title. However I’ve by no means stated that he was clout chasing, that by no means come out my mouth as a result of I don’t communicate that manner, that’s not me. And I don’t even have clout. I’m not this entourage, large fighter. I don’t have that do I don’t know the place he bought that from. However it’s what it’s. The struggle is occurring now and let’s get the rumble.”
On if Foster bought underneath his pores and skin in any respect
“Look, if it did piss me off, didn’t piss me off, that’s the power I at all times convey (to take your head off), I’m able to win. So I gained’t let the petty phrases, the little issues get into my sport plan, get into my manner of successful. So he may’ve stated no matter, he may’ve talked about my mom, he may’ve stated this, that and the third — I’m not going to let that affect or get to me. I do know what I bought to do Friday night time and that’s win by all means vital.”
On who he charges as the highest fighter at 130 proper now
“I say the highest fighter could be Navarrete. Till (he formally strikes up) I’ll say he’s #1. If not, then you definately’ll say O’Shaquie, particularly the way in which he’s been doing it. Cordina, I don’t assume he’s had a title protection, and Lamont Roach simply gained that so that you’ll say it’s O’Shaquie Foster.”
On who he thinks wins the Devin Haney vs Ryan Garcia struggle
“Ryan Garcia, all day. Ryan Garcia, he’s going to win…his abilities — the way in which he appears doesn’t communicate for him, however he performs. And he performs and he is aware of the right way to struggle and the #1 issues is types makes fights and Ryan Garcia, he’s tailor made for that.”
