Tim Bradley Predicts Shakur Stevenson Will Fall to O’Shaquie Foster
Tim Bradley has expressed strong confidence that Shakur Stevenson may lose his unbeaten record if he faces fellow American O’Shaquie Foster. The 29-year-old Stevenson has solidified his status as one of boxing’s elite, having achieved the distinction of a four-division world champion and frequently appearing on pound-for-pound rankings.
Stevenson’s most notable recent triumph came in January when he claimed the WBO super-lightweight title from Teofimo Lopez, winning decisively by unanimous decision. His closest encounter with defeat occurred against Edwin De Los Santos in 2023, but even then, many observers felt Stevenson was the rightful victor despite a less-than-stellar performance.
Bradley, a Hall of Famer and respected boxing analyst, believes that Stevenson would face significant challenges should he enter the ring with Foster. The 33-year-old Foster recently made headlines by unifying the super-featherweight division, dethroning Emanuel Navarrete for both the WBO and IBF titles in a commanding points victory.
Having successfully defended his WBC title multiple times, Foster is increasingly recognized for his consistent and adaptable style at the elite level. On the program ‘Inside The Ring,’ Bradley openly backed Foster in a potential match-up against Stevenson, stating, “I just told the panel right now, and the whole world … I said: ‘You fight Shakur, I got you.’” This bold prediction came even as the rest of the panel favored Stevenson.
“I just told the panel right now, and the whole world … I said: ‘You fight Shakur, I got you.’ They [the panel] picked Shakur, but I said I’m riding with my man Foster.”

With an existing history of rivalry between the two fighters, any bout would likely necessitate Foster moving up to 135lbs, or possibly even 140lbs, to facilitate the fight.
