Ortiz jr. Teen Lubin: Title Fight
The #10 rankings WBC contender Lubin (27-2, 19 COs) earned a shot at the interim title of Ortiz Jr. by winning his last three battles to return from a ninth round on April 9, 2022, to Sebastian ‘Towering Inferno’ Fundora. Lubin could have fought the IBF Junior Middleweight Champion Bakhram Murtazaliev against his title, as the sanction body ordered the fight.
Ortiz jr. Had a difficult road in his last two battles and defeated Serhii Bohachuk with a 12-round majority decision last year on August 10, 2024 to win the WBC-Tus-Title of 154 pounds. The scores were 113-113, 114-112 and 114-112. Vergil jr. Was off twice in that battle. In the last match of Ortiz Jr. he beat former WBA junior middleweight champion Israil Madrimov with a unanimous 12-round decision on February 22 in Riyadh. The scores were 115-113, 115-113 and 117-111.
Vergil jr’s readiness
“We want to put him against a monster. He is ready for everyone. ‘ This reflects confidence in Ortiz’s readiness to face a competent fighter like Lubin, seen as a top five contender for 154 pounds, ‘says Oscar de la Hoya of Golden Boy Promotions and talks about Vergil Ortiz Jr.
#1 IBF, #3 WBO and #10-ranks Lubin (29) comes in this battle with recent wins on these three fighters:
– Ardreal Holmes Jr.
– Jesus Ramos jr.
– Luis Arias
Holmes Jr. And Ramos jr. Were both unbeaten when Lubin fought against them.
“I’m always happy to be part of the fights that fans want to see,” Vergil Ortiz said. “See you on November 8!”
Ortiz jr. Tried to fight a fight with WBO junior middleweight champion Xander Zayas before it. There was no interest on the part of the new champion.
Erickson Lubin seeks salvation
“I think the fans are getting too nicer. This is the moment I waited. This battle is about salvation. I’m back for everything, ‘says Erickson Lubin.
This is the third attempt by Lubin to win a world title during his 12 -year career, which began in 2013. Erickson was 22 years old when he was knocked out in the first round in the first round in a loss against former WBC Junior Middleweight Champion Jermell Charlo on October 14, 2017.
“Vergil Ortiz Jr. is the most diving fighter in box, period. Big names talk tough until Vergil’s name arrives, then the phone suddenly becomes quiet. I praise Erickson Lubin; he has the intestines that these fighters are missing these days – courage! He dared to enter the den of Vergil.
