Divisional rankings: Foster scores upset, moves up at 130 pounds

ESPN’s divisional boxing rankings highlight the best in the sport in every weight class. They will often change, based on recent results and performances. Rankings are based on what a fighter has accomplished in the weight division in which he is ranked. A fighter who has announced they are moving up or down to a new weight division will be ranked in a new weight class once they fight in that weight class (and warrants being ranked). Fighters that currently own titles in two different divisions will be ranked in both weight classes.

Fighters who haven’t competed in the past 15 months — and don’t have a fight scheduled — will be dropped from the rankings. Any fighter who tests positive for a performance-enhancing substance will also be removed from the rankings. That boxer will be eligible to re-enter the rankings after the next bout.

On Saturday, O’Shaquie Foster scored an upset victory when he defeated Rey Vargas by unanimous decision to win the vacant WBC junior lightweight world title. With the victory, Foster moves up four spots to No. 6 at 130 pounds. Vargas is still the WBC featherweight champ and keeps his No. 2 spot at 126 pounds.

Rankings are determined by Mike Coppinger, Ben Baby and Michael Rothstein. They are updated weekly on Tuesdays.
