O'Shaquie Foster Cracks The Ring's Pound-for-Pound Top 10 at No. 10

Took him long enough. Now nobody can leave O'Shaquie Foster off the list.

Foster (26-3, 12 KOs) entered The Ring's pound-for-pound top 10 at No. 10, replacing WBO and Ring strawweight champion Oscar Collazo. The update was revealed Thursday on "Inside The Ring" on DAZN and The Ring's YouTube channel.

The 33-year-old got there with his Oct. 24 unanimous decision over Emanuel Navarrete at Frost Bank Center in San Antonio. He dropped Navarrete twice in the 12th round and won 118-108, 118-108 and 115-111, adding Navarrete's IBF and WBO belts and the vacant Ring title to his WBC crown.

He's not only on The Ring's list. CBS Sports also put Foster in its top 10 at No. 10, and World Boxing News moved him from No. 21 to No. 9 in its Oct. 25 update.

One belt is left. Northern Ireland's Anthony Cacace holds the WBA title, the only recognized world title Foster needs to become undisputed. Cacace is scheduled to defend it against Nick Ball on Dec. 19 at The O2 in Belfast. Navarrete remains The Ring's No. 1 contender at 130, with Cacace No. 2.

On the undercard, featherweight Albert "Chop Chop" Gonzalez (19-0, 12 KOs) moved up three spots to No. 6 in The Ring's 126-pound rankings after a second-round knockout of Edward Vazquez.

The Kimster's read

This one was earned the hard way. Foster's only loss since 2016 is the disputed split decision to Robson Conceicao in 2024, and since then he's beaten Conceicao, Stephen Fulton, Raymond Ford and now Navarrete. No. 10 feels low. If he becomes undisputed against the Cacace-Ball winner, he'll climb.
