O’Shaquie Foster believes the demand for a fight with Shakur Stevenson is only going to grow after his recent victory over Ray Ford.
Stevenson entered the ring after Foster’s win and exchanged words with the WBC super featherweight champion, creating one of the most talked about moments of the night. Foster was later asked about the confrontation and what he made of Stevenson’s response.
“Oh, man. I was just ready. I was ready for whatever. I knew he was going to be salty, crazy,” Foster told Ring Magazine about Shakur.
“I beat his son, son. And he did everything to help him. He and his people, they did everything to help him beat me. And, you know, I just showed them where my greatness was.
“And I think all those emotions, he got it with the oomph. I think it’s because he’s scared now. I think he knows that the walls are closing in and that the fans and the world are going to ask for that fight now. And now he’s going to have to show the world. They’re going to find out what he is.”
Foster later said he would have no problem facing Stevenson at either 135 or 140 pounds and dismissed the idea that special weight restrictions would be necessary for the fight.
“Yeah. No, I mean we can do it 140, 135. It doesn’t matter. And, like I said, I don’t need no rehydration clause or anything like that. We real men and we make weight and we fight wherever we come in,” says O’Shaquie.
Foster is coming off one of the biggest wins of his career after defeating Ford, while Stevenson remains one of boxing’s highest profile champions. Although no fight has been announced, talk of a potential matchup has intensified following their post-fight confrontation, and Foster’s latest comments are likely to add further fuel to the speculation.
