Rey Vargas and O’Shaquie Foster will fight for a vacant 130-pound title Saturday at the Alamodome in San Antonio (Showtime).
And if you ask them, both will tell you with confidence that he’s going to have his hand raised afterward.
Vargas, a two-division titleholder who is shooting for a third, is about a 1½-1 favorite (average of multiple outlets).
“The best way to tell the world about me is by winning another world title,” he said Thursday at the final news conference before the fight. “I’ve been a solid world champion for a while and now I’m going to add myself to the same list as the greatest Mexican fighters of all time.”
Said Foster: “I’m coming to spoil the show. I know he’s going to have the fans on his side, but by the end of the night the world is going to see what I’m really made of.”
