Conceicao (19-2-1, 9 KOs) won a highly contentious 12-round split decision over Foster in July. The 36-year-old Brazilian was euphoric after securing a world title at the fourth attempt, but such was the furor over the verdict that the WBC ordered an immediate rematch.
“This fight is personal,” stated Conceicao at the final press conference before insulting his opponent’s fighting style.
“A champion is a fighter who goes out there and doesn’t run around, who looks for the fight, who tries to win, and doesn’t just throw one or two punches and then moves away.”
Foster (22-3, 12 KOs) won the title in February 2023 when he handed the 36-0 Rey Vargas his first professional defeat.
The talented Texas product made two successful defenses against “Rocky” Hernandez and Abraham Nova before his shock defeat to Conceicao.
“I hope he knows the name of the game is to hit and not get hit,” countered Foster.
“I ain’t trying to dwell on the judges [in the first fight]. I wish them the best, but this fight, I plan on coming in and dominating to the best of my ability.
“We plan on stepping to him. I hope he knows that. He’s talking and doing all that. I hope he had the best camp because we had a great camp, too.
“Saturday, it’s going to be showtime.”
