Emanuel is a three- division champion, at super-bantamweight, featherweight and super-featherweight. He almost, but not quite won the lightweight crown. While O`Shaquie is a two-times World Boxing Council super-featherweight champion.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-198650\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Emanuel-Navarrete-vs-OShaquie-Foster.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"788\" height=\"443\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>Neither is given to trash or rash talk. But there have been exchanges of pertinent well directed words, which give some indications of intense intentions, with appropriate actions matching those sentences to follow. Emanuel stresses it takes two to make a fight and hopes the best vs the best can be decided in a fight containing plenty of exchanges. He would say this, because he`s a high volume, pressure fighter who thrives in the atmosphere of a firefight. O`Shaquie has countered by insisting he`s not going to run and will pick apart Emanuel.\u00a0 Respect from Emanuel who doffs his ten- gallon hat and acknowledges; \u2018\u2019O`Shaquie is a great champion. Very solid, very confident and it`ll be a great fight. However, he hasn`t fought someone like me. I`m going to pressure him from the start, and cut off the ring, with constant body punches to break down and break up his rhythm. We will see, as the fight progresses. I`m coming with all I`ve got. And I`m glad O`Shaquie has accepted this fight, because I want another world title.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Utterly unfazed, underwhelmed or undaunted, O`Shaquie, who`s known for smilingly keeping his cool, evenly replies: \u2018\u2019This is the type of fight you dream about and I`m ready. I`m excited to be back in San Antonio in front of my fans. I`m looking forward to giving everyone a performance to remember. This is the biggest fight of my career. He`s going to feel my punching power, my speed and my ring IQ. No running.\u2019\u2019 The plan of course and over the course of this fight, is to give Emanuel a comprehensive boxing lesson, to deflect, parry and confound all of those unconventional angles and get straight to the point. \u00a0O`Shaquie isn`t an easy target, his defence is sound and he can dish it out too.\u00a0 His title defence against Eduardo \u2018\u2019Rocky\u2019\u2019 Hernandez in sun-kissed Cancun, proved this.\u00a0 Iron willpower, backed up with precise clout. Behind on the scorecards, O`Shaquie weathered the storm and came on strong in its late stages. Clock measured against the clock. Ferocious exchanges in round eleven, but Rocky looking dicey towards the bell. Begged by his corner, to stick and move, Rocky bravely but unwisely to decided to get stuck in and it cost him the Green and Gold belt.\u00a0 O`Shaquie, cool as a cucumber amidst all of the din, pounced in the final round dropping the valiant Mexican twice and pulling the TKO victory from the embers.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-198656\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/foster-tr.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"737\" height=\"878\"  \/>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The fact O`Shaquie is fighting a man who is a triple division champion is a double- edged sword.\u00a0 Before he was a super-featherweight champion, Emanuel reigned as a super-bantamweight and a featherweight champion, almost winning a lightweight title. Emanuel has grown into his current and ideal weight category, whereas O`Shaquie is a natural at this poundage. \u00a0One has suffered misfortune, while the other has had a slice of luck.\u00a0 In his first fight with Robson Conceicao, O`Shaquie was clinical and technically superior, but Robson gave it everything he` got. You`ve got to love a trier and the Judges decided it was a SD victory for Robson.\u00a0 Shocked, O`Shaquie was more visible and tangible in the rematch and vowed to thereafter and hereafter blend technical skill with palpable desire.<\/p>\n<p>Emanuel`s stroke of luck came two fights ago, against the extremely tough and resourceful Charly Suarez.\u00a0 Emanuel was cut over the left eye in round six.\u00a0 In the heat of a close- range tussle, Referee Edward Collantes saw it as an accidental clash\/cosh of heads. Subsequent lengthy recorded analysis hindsight finally suggested it had been a left hook. A technical victory after eight, for Emanuel was changed to a NC. He made up for all of this in his most previous fight, defeating IBF champion Eduardo \u2018\u2019Sugar\u2019\u2019 Nunez, whose right eye had swollen shut and the Ring Doctor decided at the start of round eleven that it wouldn`t be either prudent or safe to continue.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-198652\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/navarrete-training-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"821\" height=\"548\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>O`Shaquie took on the accomplished two division champion Stephen Fulton who was coming up in weight, but then Cool Boy Steph, surprisingly weighed too much, so they fought for the WBC interim Belt, with O`Shaquie convincing winning via UD. A harder test against former WBA featherweight champion Raymond Ford, which O`Shaquie won by MD. If we glance at the record of Emanuel it reads: 40-2-1, 33 KO`s including that NC.\u00a0 O`Shaquie is 25-3, 12 KO`s.\u00a0 One is a notable puncher, the other is a boxer who can punch when the occasion demands and we`re fast approaching that crunch time.\u00a0 Emanuel turned pro way back in 2012, while O`Shaquie turned pro that very same year.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-198660\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/oshaquie-fight.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>The big break for O`Shaquie came in defeating previously unbeaten Jon Fernanez for the WBC Silver title via UD and then two successful defences, until he took on lanky Absolute champion Rey Vargas, handily outboxing him. Emanuel`s first title involved defeating Isaac Dogboe via UD. In the rematch he upped the tempo and Isaac`s Father and Coach threw in the towel at the start of round twelve. He`s also twice defeated Oscar Valdez.\u00a0 Once by UD. The second time Emanuel knocked down Oscar in the first, fourth and fifth and a left to the liver one round later brought him a TKO victory.\u00a0 A majority draw against Robson Conceicao after knocking him down in the fourth and seventh. \u00a0Just before the second Oscar Valdez fight, Emanuel ambitiously fought Denys Berinchyk for the WBO lightweight title, losing a split decision and ending a twenty- four winning streak.\u00a0 He returned to his natural super-feather division.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-198658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/navarrete-fight.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"773\" height=\"515\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>The only opponent who has ever dropped Emanuel was Liam Wilson when they fought for the vacant WBO super-featherweight title. Liam canvassed Emanuel with a left hook in round four.\u00a0 Emanuel punished him in round nine and Referee Chris Flores stopped the fight. The most trouble O`Shaquie encountered was against Eduardo Hernandez. He overcame a rocky patch to prevail, just in the nick of time.<\/p>\n<p>For this fight, Emanuel Navarrete is going to set a blistering pace trying to land a high volume of punches to test the tempo. While O`Shaquie Foster will try to outbox him, accurately counter exploiting mistakes and pepper him with jabs. The question of whether he will stand and deliver or box at range will unfold. It`s going to be a clash of styles, a stern test of willpower and who adapts the most intelligently. \u00a0As Floyd Mayweather Jr has said: \u2018\u2019A true champion can adapt to anything.\u2019\u2019\u00a0 Grasping the moment with bold initiative is the very essence of a champion of champions. As Billie Jean King stressed, fortune favours the bold, involving tipping the balance of power\u2026 with the fateful words: \u2018\u2019A champion is afraid of losing. Everyone else is afraid of winning.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-198662\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/navarrete-foster.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"729\" height=\"1296\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u00a0 WBC Super Featherweight ChampionshipO\u2019Shaquie Foster vs Emanuel NavarreteFrost Bank CenterSan Antonio, Texas, USAOctober 24th, 2026International: DAZN Top&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":939309,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[447],"tags":[703,49,48,82],"class_list":["post-939308","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/939308","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=939308"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/939308\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/939309"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=939308"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=939308"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=939308"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
