O’Shaquie Foster believes there’s a reason Shakur Stevenson reacts the way he does whenever his name comes up in the conversation.
The former WBC junior lightweight champion addressed Stevenson after their recent confrontation, arguing that the undefeated star knows exactly what kind of challenge he would present in the ring.
“Shakur knows what’s going on. That’s why he gets so emotional when I say certain things or when people bring me up,” Foster told Fight Hub TV.
“Because he knows I’m nothing to play with. It makes him react a certain way when people bring me up.”
Foster made the comments while discussing his latest exchange with Stevenson.
The two fighters exchanged words several times, and talk of a potential showdown continued to spark interest among boxing fans. While Stevenson currently campaigns at lightweight and Foster has spent most of his recent career at junior lightweight, the possibility of the two finally meeting has remained a topic of discussion.
Foster’s comments suggest he believes Stevenson takes notice whenever his name is mentioned because of the stylistic challenge a fight can present.
Whether a fight between the two ever materializes remains to be seen, but Foster left little doubt about his view of the situation.
Foster has repeatedly pushed for a fight with Stevenson since defeating Stephen Fulton last December. So far, Stevenson has not publicly embraced the idea of a match between the two accomplished former world champions.
