Foster had scored a draw against Jorge Ahumada before retiring from the sport for awhile. Because he did not lose to a non-Heavyweight champion in the ring, he was still considered the Lineal Light heavyweight champion. Foster would go on to fight seven more times, with the first five as wins and the last two as knockout losses, before retiring from boxing for good.

We may boldly spend, upon the hope
Of what is to come in.
A comfort of retirement lives in this.
