Since then, he defended it twice: against Eduardo Hernandez in October and against Abraham Nova in February this year.

Robson Conceicao is a professional boxer from Bahia, Brazil. Surprisingly, he grew up playing soccer and discovered his passion for boxing at a later stage.
Conceicao made his professional debut in 2016 after a successful amateur career that included a gold medal at the 2016 Rio Olympics. He was quick to make a name for himself in the ring, getting recognition for his skillful and technical style.
He has an impressive resume, including several notable fights against top-tier opponents. He lost to Oscar Valdez when they fought for his WBC Super Featherweight title in 2021 and Shakur Stevenson via unanimous decision for the unified WBC and WBO belts in 2022.
However, we should also note his win over Xavier Martinez, a draw with Emanuel Navarrete, and most recently a 7th-round TKO against Jose Ivan Guardado Gomez.

Our O'Shaquie Foster vs Robson Conceicao Prediction: Third Title Defense √
Foster is 5 years younger than his opponent and his reach is 183 cm, which is 5 cm more than Robson's. While the advantage is in favor of the champion, we do not think that he will have a smooth performance. Conceicao has more experience fighting elite opponents, even though he lost most of the fights.
Nevertheless, we have to side with the champion for our Foster vs Conceicao prediction. We do not expect much action in the first few rounds. Foster will try to find the right distance and score more points than his opponent. An alternative option is to bet on the fight to go the distance. There is a good chance that we will see a decision and possibly even a split.
