Shakur Stevenson told his recent mandatory O’Shaquie Foster that he “could have the [WBC lightweight] belt.” He said that he’s about to earn more money against Teofimo Lopez than Foster “will ever make.”
Shakur Tells Foster: “Take the Belt”
Foster’s response to Shakur’s post was predictable, saying, “Dude scared of me.” What else could he say in reacting to Stevenson revealing that he’ll give him the belt somewhat than fight him?
It didn’t take long for Shakur (24-0, 11 KOs) to start talking about vacating his WBC 135-lb title. Last Saturday, O’Shaquie Foster captured the WBC interim lightweight title, beating Stephen Fulton by a large 12-round unanimous decision in San Antonio, Texas.
Immediately upon winning the WBC interim belt, Foster (24-3, 12 KOs) called out Shakur, letting him know that he desired to fight him. In response to Foster’s callout, Stevenson told him that he wouldn’t fight him until he faced super featherweight Ray Ford. Using him as an obstacle made Shakur appear weak and afraid.
“That mandatory s*** don’t mean nothing. You possibly can have that belt,” said Shakur Stevenson on social media about potentially giving up his WBC lightweight title somewhat than defend it against O’Shaquie Foster.
Why Shakur Prefers Teofimo
“You understand how much money I’m making on this fight? Greater than you’ll ever make in your life. Now, say, ‘Please,’ little boy,” said Shakur, bragging concerning the money he’ll be making in his next fight against Teofimo Lopez and wanting Foster to know that he’ll never make that type of dough.
“Buddy [Shakur] crashing out, able to drop the belt. Dude scared of me,” said Foster on X about Shakur.
With the cash that Stevenson is getting for his fight against Teofimo Lopez on January 31, he wouldn’t need to return to the lightweight division to face Foster. He won’t be paid nearly as well, and he could lose. There’s a excellent likelihood Stevenson would get beaten.
