	'''Vince Foster''' was a hard-punching welterweight of Native-American heritage who was discovered by "~~"Decon~~" [[Jack Hurley]]. While based in Chicago, Foster developed an interest in the ''Moody Institute Bible'' classes. Before his fight with highly touted [[Tony Pellone]], Foster said, " I pray before every fight, not to win, but to enable me to carry the message. If my example as a fighter can be advertising for evangelism, I think my career will be worthwhile." However, Hurley knew a different side of his fighter: " This is a strange fellow. One minute he is a model of good behavior, another minute he is the devil. He could become welterweight champion; he could become a bum."

	Foster was brought to New York by Hurley in 1949, and scored an impressive 7th round knockout over [[Tony Pellone]] at [[Madison Square Garden]]. This led to a highly publicized bout against [[Charley Fusari]] at the Garden on May 13, 1949. Before the Fusari fight, Foster became involved in a "rape case of doubtful authenticity," which took great expense by Hurley to straighten out. When Foster met Fusari, Foster came out swinging for the knockout over the highly-rated Fusari, but was knocked down three times, and stopped in the first round. Following the match, Hurley said, " I'm convinced Foster wanted to get knocked out to spite me."
