VERONA, N.Y. (Nov. 2, 2024) — Less than four months after a split decision that sparked intense debate — and crowned a new world champion — Robson Conceição and O'Shaquie Foster are ready to erase all doubt. Conceição will defend his WBC junior lightweight crown against Foster TONIGHT in a main event grudge match at Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, New York.
Conceição (19-2-1, 9 KOs) stunned Foster (22-3, 12 KOs) by the narrowest of margins on July 6 in Newark, New Jersey, capturing a world title after falling short three times before. Foster, from Orange, Texas, hopes to leave no doubt the second time around.
In the 10-round co-feature, world-rated lightweight contender Raymond "Danger" Muratalla (21-0, 16 KOs) takes on Jesus Perez (25-5, 18 KOs).
Conceição-Foster II and Muratalla-Perez headline a loaded card that will stream live and exclusively in the U.S. on ESPN+.
The undercard will start at 5:50 p.m. ET/2:50 p.m. PT and includes local favorite Bryce Mills (16-1, 5 KOs) from nearby Syracuse, New York. Mills will see action in an eight-round junior welterweight tilt versus Mike Ohan Jr. (19-3, 9 KOs), while former world title challenger Abraham "El Super" Nova (23-3, 16 KOs) will take on Humberto Galindo (14-3-2, 11 KOs) in a 10-rounder at junior lightweight. Rising Dominican featherweight star Yan Santana (12-0, 11 KOs) looks for his most significant win against former world title challenger Eduardo Baez (23-6-2, 9 KOs) in a 10-rounder.
