Immediately after his win, Foster hopped onto the ropes to bark at Stevenson, who was sitting ringside in support of Ford.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"4w\">Stevenson climbed into the ring to get face-to-face with Foster before exchanging insults. Stevenson was heard telling Foster he would &#8220;beat his little a**,&#8221; with &#8216;Shock&#8217; replying by telling the 28-year-old, &#8220;I made you quit.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">O&#8217;SHAQUIE FOSTER AND SHAKUR STEVENSON GET INTO IT! \ud83d\ude31<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/hashtag\/FosterFord?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">#FosterFord<\/a> | Live NOW on DAZN \u25aa\ufe0f <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/7KC3NF5eRZ\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/7KC3NF5eRZ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 DAZN Boxing (@DAZNBoxing) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/DAZNBoxing\/status\/2060934546208543109?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">May 31, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"52\">Stevenson and Foster verbally agreed to a fight on the spot after a few exchanges. Foster proposed that he move up to 140 pounds to challenge Stevenson for his WBO and The Ring super lightweight titles, a challenge the latter quickly accepted.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"55\">Stevenson, who is No. 3 in Ring Magazine&#8217;s pound-for-pound rankings, has found himself on the receiving end of countless fighter callouts since his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/fannation\/boxing\/teofimo-lopez-vs-shakur-stevenson-results-highlights-live-blog\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">most recent win over Teofimo Lopez<\/a>.
