O\u2019Shaquie Foster believes Shakur Stevenson\u2019s reported switch to Zuffa Boxing represents a \u2018duck move\u2019 after the pair confronted each other in the ring on Saturday night.<\/p>\n
Foster, an old sparring partner and friend of Stevenson\u2019s, beat Ray Ford \u2013 Shakur\u2019s stablemate \u2013 via 12-round decision to retain his WBC junior lightweight title before calling out Stevenson, who was ringside in Houston, Texas.<\/p>\n
Foster, 25-3 (12 KOs), claims that Stevenson had agreed to a fight if he could beat Ford. Thus, directly after his majority decision victory was confirmed, Foster invited Stevenson, who most recently competed as a junior welterweight, to join him in the ring.<\/p>\n
\u201cI wanted him to know that I wanted him next, that\u2019s why I went straight to where he was sitting,\u201d told Ariel Helwani<\/a>. <\/p>\n \u201cI told him I was going to do that to his ‘son’ [Ford], I told him now the daddy\u2019s next. I was telling him to get in the ring, to come see. I couldn\u2019t hear what he was saying back, but I told him to get in the ring.<\/p>\n \u201cI saw him taking off his jewellery and raising his hand like he was going to put them in my face and stuff. That\u2019s when I said, \u2018We ain\u2019t gonna do none of that.\u2019 Before it even got to being disrespectful, I had to make it known, don\u2019t start being disrespectful. If we have a fight we\u2019re going to have to have another fight.\u201d<\/p>\n
