Ray Ford is full of confidence coming into his world title shot this weekend and why wouldn’t he be.
Ray Ford confident going into his big title shot this weekend he has trained very well for the fight by all accounts.
He has trained superbly and his confidence appears to be based on his timing and speed coming along in the gym a lot.
So much so, going into the fight, he’s claimed he’s had to slow down his punches even on the pads a little with his trainer.
Like he is leaving a little bit in the gym, not over-training and looking to just peak on the night and let fly then.
Without going flat out all the time in the gym and peaking when the time is right.
When it counts.
On fight night.
The flip side of the coin is he is going in there with the champion and consensus always says you have to take the title from the champion to win a world title belt.
Not just edge or scrape a close points decision.
It has to be decisive.
As well as a possible unification could be in play for the winner so there’s a lot to play for.
Some things to note as well on this going into the fight:
- Ford has publicly expressed confidence in stopping or dominating Foster.
- Possesses southpaw style and power to trouble orthodox fighters.
- Youth and recent form support aggressive claims.
- Foster’s experience and title defenses make stoppage difficult.
- Ford’s finishing rate (44%) is solid but unproven at this level.
- Likely faces a tough, technical fight rather than easy beatdown.
- Confidence common in challengers; execution is key.
- Foster’s durability and boxing IQ are high.
- Possible competitive bout with decision favored.
- Upset potential exists but requires elite performance.
Timing is everything though and we sense the time is right for Ray ‘Savage’ Ford this weekend to maybe shock the world.
But you never know, it is a solid scrap.
A Navarrete unification fight awaits possibly for the winner.
We live in a planet and certainly a country in the US at the moment going through changing times — where what was previously thought as fact is shown to no longer be the case.
Like the Rockefellers being powerful people in America (they never were), like Elon Musk being the world’s richest man (he never was and not even close, there’s hundreds more people not famous that no one knows that are richer than him) and like the main Chinese bank in the world holding the most money out of all banks (estimates online will tell you it holds between $6 to $8 trillion) — there are many banks that hold much more than that don’t have to disclose anything due to breach of client confidentiality.
And of course, all the Fox and CNN garbage false narratives blowing up in their faces every day. Literally daily in live time now. Trump has failed now, as crime is sky rocketing across America faster and faster as the days go by now.
With all that said, one thing remains fact.
Boxing is a great sport. The greatest of sports. Some unsavory characters continue to leave the sport in 2026 as it returns triumphantly to the masses but as a sport, the fact remains, what sport is better than professional boxing?
A sport the week in, week out, delivers action, knockouts and more underdog upsets than all the sports put together in the world?
Only last weekend Rico nearly became the biggest upset story literally in sports history by almost defeating Oleksandr Usyk for the heavyweight championship of the world. We rest our case.
Alas, this weekend we have one of the truly underestimated world title fights this year in all of boxing in Ray Ford vs Foster.
Don’t sleep on this fight.
