He&#8217;s a good name for my resume and I&#8217;m taking that belt on May 30 and becoming a two-weight World champion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat a fight this is!\u201d said Matchroom Chairman Eddie Hearn. \u201cO\u2019Shaquie is a fantastic boxer, always in exciting fights, and a worthy World ruler. But we\u2019ve been here before \u2013 Ray stopped a Top Rank man to become king of the World in enemy territory, and on May 30, we believe lightning strikes twice and \u2018Savage\u2019 gets the strap on a magic night in Texas.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cO\u2019Shaquie Foster solidified his place among the division\u2019s elite by dismantling Stephen Fulton in December,\u201d said Top Rank President Todd duBoef. \u201cNow, he will defend his crown on his home turf against another former World champion in Raymond Ford. Recently, there\u2019s been a lot of animosity brewing between the two, and we expect Foster to silence the chatter with a dominant performance from him on May 30.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Announcements on the ticket on sale dates and undercard fights will be made in due course.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Pepe Serna 360 Conversation: Texas, Acting, Scarface, Miami Vice, Trump, Humanity, ICE &amp;
