O’Shaquie Foster took his feud with Richardson Hitchins to another level this week, accusing the former IBF junior welterweight champion of being afraid to spar and questioning his toughness during a lengthy interview ahead of Foster’s May 30 title defense against Raymond Ford.
Foster unloaded on Hitchins today, claiming that people in boxing have been questioning Hitchins’ mentality for years.
“Hitchins is scary as hell. I knew it. That was the word in box,” Foster told Sean Zittel’s YouTube site. “They had to pump him up with certain sparring sessions. He knows what I’m talking about. They had to put a key in his back to spar and stuff like that.”
Foster then noted that Hitchins pulled out of his scheduled February fight against Oscar Duarte on the day of the contest.
“He has a heart problem. Not a physical heart problem. He just doesn’t have a heart. You see what he did with Duarte? Why am I worried about Hitchins? He’s so scared,” Foster said.
Hitchins later replied to Foster on X with a brief reply of his own.
“I have a lot more heart than this cunt alien in the face hole n****.”
The latest exchange comes just hours after Foster Hitchins poked fun at his Olympic path and his past links with Subriel Matias.
Foster accused Hitchins of failing to make the U.S. Olympic team before later representing Haiti at the 2016 Olympics. Hitchins previously lost to Gary Antuanne Russell in the US selection process before qualifying internationally for Haiti through an Olympic qualifier.
The back-and-forth added unexpected heat to a quiet week in boxing, especially since the two fighters don’t even compete in the same division. Foster holds a world title at 130 pounds, while Hitchins recently captured a belt at 140.
However, both fighters hail from the New York boxing scene, know each other’s amateur history, and now seem fully invested in turning a social media argument into something much more personal.
