the pawn can be inside a cage, eg:

8    [O] ( )        
7   . n b k b n r   
6   . p p p p p p              
5   . . . . . . .
4   . . . . . . .
3   . O O O O O O
2   R N B K B N R
1           
  a b c d e f g h i

now, if that cage is inserted into the board, the pawn will be at the last

the mover that decides the promotion, not the owner
