O'Shaquie Foster Accuses Shakur Stevenson of Backtracking on Fight Agreement

After a successful majority-decision win over Raymond Ford, O'Shaquie Foster is frustrated with Shakur Stevenson for not following through on a potential fight agreement. Foster, who has been vocal about wanting to face Stevenson, asserts that the pound-for-pound star has 'gone back on his word' despite previously indicating a willingness to fight.

In December, Stevenson had told Foster that he needed to defeat Ford first to earn a shot at him. Following Foster's victory, Stevenson entered the ring and appeared to call for a matchup, stating, 'Pick up the phone we could run it next.' However, Foster claims that since that night, there has been no communication from Stevenson regarding the fight.

Foster expressed his disappointment in a recent interview with Ring Magazine, stating, 'He went on Twitter and said that basically he is not giving me an opportunity... We ain’t heard nothing from him.' This lack of follow-through has left Foster questioning Stevenson's integrity, as he had expected a fight to materialize after their verbal exchanges.

While Foster is eager to unify titles against WBO and IBF champion Emanuel Navarrete, he remains focused on securing a bout with Stevenson, who has been linked to other fighters including Devin Haney and Conor Benn. The boxing community is now left wondering if Stevenson will honor his word or continue to pursue other opponents.
