He amassed a 12-0-1 record over the course of the next four years, with eight stoppage victories, before being scheduled to face James Smith for the vacant WBO International super flyweight title on October 5, 2019, at the Dort Federal Credit Union Event Center in Flint, Michigan.[2] O'Quinn won the fight by unanimous decision, with all three judges awarding him a 96-93 scorecard.[3]

O'Quinn was knocked down three times in under two minutes, which prompted referee Gary Ritter to stop the fight.[7]
