Boxing fans have began to debate about who Shakur Stevenson should take on next.
Stevenson became a four-division world champion on Saturday after he claimed a unanimous decision win against Teofimo Lopez to win the WBO super-lightweight title.
After the fight, welterweight contender Conor Benn got in the ring to square off with Stevenson, while the likes of Gervonta Davis and Devin Haney have regularly been named as potential opponents.
Two-weight world champion Tim Bradley believes there is another man that can give Stevenson the biggest test though, revealing on his YouTube channel the name of a recent new arrival to the lightweight division.
“Who should he fight next? Shakur wants to go to 135. I’m going to tell you all, you might disagree with me, but a fighter that can get with Shakur, I’m not saying beat him, but can get with him on his level, his name is O’Shaquie Foster.
“Foster as far as notoriety, he’s not bigger than Teo, but as far as skill [he is]. O’Shaquie should be on the pound-for-pound list. O’Shaquie has a lot of what Shakur has with the distance, he got a fast jab too coming from the southpaw stance.
“The last fighter that beat Shakur Stevenson [in the amateurs] was a southpaw. O’Shaquie can switch to orthodox too, he’s big too. He’s got some size on him, some reach on him, got some pop on him.”
Foster is the current WBC interim lightweight champion after a win over Stephen Fulton in December, and prior to that he has reigned as the WBC super featherweight world champion.
His talents are clear for all to see, but whether he has the name value to secure a fight against Stevenson remains to be seen.
