Quotes

Emanuel Navarrete: “I’m very happy that this fight came together. I’m training very well and working hard on figuring out what this fight is going to require. We know what Foster represents. We know he’s a very skilled fighter with a lot of weapons in his boxing repertoire, and that’s what we’re preparing for. I’m extremely excited for fight night to arrive, to show everyone the great preparation I’ve had, put on a great fight and give 100 percent of myself to accomplish the goal.

“I think boxing also depends on moments. There are moments in any fighter’s career when injuries, emotional instability or perhaps some other situation can affect you. In my case, physically, I wasn’t at 100 percent. There were certain things that weren’t allowing me to be the fighter I’ve always been—aggressive and with a positive mentality. Physically, I’m recovered. Thank God, we’ve overcome some injuries. There are no excuses now.

“If he doesn’t come to fight, if he tries to win on points and make it an easy fight without making things too complicated for himself, we’re going to try to force him to fight. We’re going to put our face right in front of him so he can hit us, and we’re going to try to hit him, too. It’s going to be very difficult, but I’m coming in with the mentality of bringing the fight from the very first round, trying to land my punches and imposing the pace of the fight.”

O’Shaquie Foster: “I definitely feel like I’m at my best right now. Mentally, physically, everything is coming together. I’m ready for any challenge, and I feel like I’m there right now.

“We weren’t going to sit around and wait for Shakur {Stevenson}. Whatever the next big opportunity was, I was going to take it. Everybody knows that’s who I wanted, but my career is going to keep moving. We’re going to keep knocking them down until the fans keep calling for that fight. Right now, we’ve got a great opponent in front of us that we need to handle.

“The biggest difference in me at this stage of my career is my mentality. I went through those losses, turned them into lessons, got stronger, kept building and stayed consistent. Now I’m here.

“I’m going to go in there and control the fight. I’m going to dominate from round one. I saw an interview where he said I like to run and make fights difficult. I’ve never run from anybody. I put punishment and pain on my opponents, too. That night, he’s going to get a boxing lesson. There won’t be any running. It’s going to be a boxing lesson.

“To beat Navarrete, I just have to be me. I have to come out, be dominant like I have been, not take any rounds off and keep pressing the gas. It’s going to be a great night. I feel good about it.”
