Boxing fans have began to debate about who Shakur Stevenson<\/a> should take on next.<\/p>\n

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.<\/a><\/p>\n

After the fight, welterweight contender Conor Benn got in the ring to square off with Stevenson<\/a>, while the likes of Gervonta Davis and Devin Haney have regularly been named as potential opponents.<\/p>\n

Two-weight world champion Tim Bradley believes there is another man that can give Stevenson the biggest test though, revealing on his YouTube channel<\/a> the name of a recent new arrival to the lightweight division.<\/p>\n

\u201cWho should he fight next? Shakur wants to go to 135. I\u2019m going to tell you all, you might disagree with me, but a fighter that can get with Shakur, I\u2019m not saying beat him, but can get with him on his level, his name is O\u2019Shaquie Foster.<\/p>\n

\u201cFoster as far as notoriety, he\u2019s not bigger than Teo, but as far as skill [he is]. O\u2019Shaquie should be on the pound-for-pound list. O\u2019Shaquie has a lot of what Shakur has with the distance, he got a fast jab too coming from the southpaw stance.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe last fighter that beat Shakur Stevenson [in the amateurs] was a southpaw. O\u2019Shaquie can switch to orthodox too, he\u2019s big too. He\u2019s got some size on him, some reach on him, got some pop on him.\u201d<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Boxing fans have began to debate about who Shakur Stevenson should take on next.
