Ring Magazine’s Mike Coppinger reports that Vergil Ortiz Jr. is finalizing a deal to face Erickson “The Hammer” Lubin in what promises to be an epic stylistic WAR at junior middleweight! Both fighters are in their PRIME, making this one of the most anticipated matchups of the year.
Ortiz continues to build one of the strongest resumes of his generation, and a win over Lubin would cement his status as a top-tier force at 154. Lubin, coming off big performances, is looking to derail Ortiz’s rise and claim his spot at the top.
Ortiz vs Lubin goes down October 18th – just one week before another blockbuster:
Sebastian Fundora vs Keith Thurman on October 25th!
