Match information
Unless you know boxing, you might not have heard of either of these dudes. You also might look at Foster's two losses and think he's not that good, but oh contraire, Foster's losses are quality ones. At 8-0, he lost a close unanimous decision to Samuel Teah, who has quality wins over contenders such as Sonny Fredrickson and Kenneth Sims Jr., and Foster's second loss was a debatable split decision to Rolando Chinea three fights later. Foster comes into this bout having won 11 straight, including five by knockout. He isn't the biggest puncher, but I think the low-KO output is largely due to a lack of inflated victories because he actually fought some quality opposition relative to his level while an up-and-comer. In other words, he didn't build up his record fighting only tomato cans with sub-.500 records, especially on his current run. Foster also leads the dance in experience having turned pro in 2012, and currently, he's a much improved 30-year-old peaking at the perfect time. Nova, also 30, didn't turn pro until 2016 after a highly successful amateur career. I actually covered his second pro fight in Coney Island on Aug. 21, 2016 – a card that featured an up-and-coming Errol Spence Jr. as well as an all-out war between Heather Hardy and Shelly Vincent. Nova won his bout by majority decision but was dropped in Round 2, though he recovered by scoring a knockdown in the follow-up run. This will be Nova's first world title shot, though he did share the ring with featherweight-champion-to-be Robeisy Ramirez in June 2022, a night that ended quickly as Nova was knocked out in Round 3 after being stunned earlier on multiple occasions. Nova is 2-0 with a knockout since, dropping Adam Lopez twice (really once) en route to a decision last January and knocking out Jonathan Romero in July.
