**Verona, NY** – WBC super featherweight champion Robson Conceição will defend his title against former champion O’Shaquie Foster in a highly anticipated rematch on November 2nd at the Turning Stone Resort Casino. The 12-round bout will be broadcast live on ESPN+.

This rematch comes after Foster’s controversial split decision loss to Conceição in July. Many fans felt Foster did not deserve the rematch, as he was seen as overly defensive and focused on avoiding punishment rather than attacking. Conceição, on the other hand, outworked Foster throughout the fight, landing more punches and demonstrating a stronger offensive approach.

“Foster, don’t run in the ring! See you in Verona,” said Conceição, referencing Foster’s defensive tactics in their first encounter.

The rematch was ordered by the World Boxing Council after vocal fans pushed for a second fight. However, many boxing analysts believe the initial result was fair and the rematch is unnecessary, seeing it as more of a business decision than a sporting one.

This fight promises to be exciting, as both fighters are eager to prove their dominance. The winner will likely be positioned for a unification bout against another champion in the super featherweight division.

“This rematch is about setting things straight,” said promoter Bob Arum. “Both want to show who the better man is, making for an exciting, competitive matchup.”

While some see this rematch as a chance for redemption for Foster, others believe it’s simply a chance for Conceição to solidify his victory and move on to bigger challenges. The fight on November 2nd will undoubtedly provide the answer to this debate.
