“I don’t know. I’m 50/50 on it right now. I think the fans and everybody want to see it now. But I don’t know what I don’t think he that confident, especially being how I beat Ray,” said Foster to Custer’s channel.
“And, you know, that’s the dollar store version of him. So, I’m sure he like, man, look, certain things Ray do better than him. Ray got a little bit more power than him. I feel like offensive-wise, Rey can punch with both hands as far as like certain things he do.
“So, I feel like he know that like it’s close like if the fight was to happen like he have a lot to worry about. I didn’t switch softball or anything. So, I just think he a little nervous. He feel the throne shaking, and I’m coming. So, he going to have to answer, man. The fans want to see it.”
Foster also explained why he believes he would have the edge in a matchup with Stevenson.
“I say, man, the same way as his little man just played out. I’mma put that pressure on him. I’mma do certain things in there to frustrate him, to make him mad,” said O’Shaquie.
“And, you know, I feel like I got the better offensive repertoire out of me and him. And I feel like that’s what it’s going to come down to.
“I’ve shown that I’m willing to get in that fire. Ray was stronger. He got more crack than Shakur. So just little things like that is going to be like how he going to keep me off of him now.”
Foster also dismissed suggestions that Stevenson would be too big for the fight.
“I mean, Timothy Bradley said it correct. I was fighting at 38, 35, 33, 37. Making them kind of weights is easy for me. I spar them guys. Them guys are not big.
“That 5-10 pounds is nothing. It won’t mean nothing. We all really the same size. When they start to do all that rehydration clause or he too big, that’s a scary tactic.
“Skill for skill, we know who. Skills pay the bills.”
When asked to map out his ideal future schedule, Foster said Shakur would be his preferred next opponent, while also mentioning potential fights against Lamont Roach and Gervonta Davis.
