O'Shaquie Foster was a class above rival Raymond Ford as he deservedly retained his WBC super-featherweight title at the Fertitta Center in his hometown of Houston, Texas.

After an occasionally ill-tempered build-up, Foster produced a disciplined display to largely neutralise Ford and earn a majority decision, with scores of 114-114, 118-110 and 116-112. The bad blood was evident from the opening round when Foster intentionally tossed Ford out of the ring, but escaped punishment for the foul.

After the decision was announced, Foster (25-3, 12 KOs) immediately turned his attention to four-division champion Shakur Stevenson, who was watching from ringside. Foster appeared to invite Stevenson into the ring, and the pair soon became embroiled in a heated exchange that required security intervention.
