The 32-year-old champion Foster (24-3, 12 KOs) has a marquee matchup on tap next month and knows another impressive display can lead to even bigger opportunities, as he assess the landscape across 130 and 135 pounds.
Former WBA featherweight champion Ford (18-1-1, 8 KOs) has long been calling for and finally gets his chance to become a two-division beltholder, as they collide on May 30 at Houston's Fertitta Center, exclusively live on DAZN.
He sat down with The Ring's Rick Reeno to discuss multiple topics, including:
- Being overlooked as an amateur and same as a pro
- When did he first know of Raymond Ford?
- Learning lessons from his two-fight series with Robson Conceicao
- Why has a fight with WBO/IBF champ Emmanuel Navarrete not happened yet?
