\u201cI\u2019m coming for everything, and I\u2019m coming with everything I\u2019ve got. I\u2019m a Mexican warrior. I fear nothing and no one. I\u2019m glad O\u2019Shaquie Foster accepted the fight, because I\u2019m coming for that third world title. I already have two\u2014so why not three? On October 24, you\u2019re going to see a real Mexican warrior,\u201d Navarrete said of the fight.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile Foster (25-3, 12 KOs) last took a decision over Raymond Ford in late May. He also expresses his enthusiasm for this chance to pick up a couple more belts.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is the type of fight every fighter dreams about, and I\u2019m ready for the challenge. I\u2019m also excited to be back in San Antonio and fighting in front of all my fans, both locally and around the world. The support I\u2019ve received throughout my career has meant everything to me, and I\u2019m looking forward to giving everyone another performance to remember. I know I say this every time, but this truly is the biggest fight of my career. I can\u2019t wait to put on for Texas and show the world what \u2018Shock\u2019 Foster is all about.\u201d<\/p>\n
