Vergil Ortiz Jr. vs. Erickson Lubin Set for November 8

According to reports, undefeated Texan Vergil Ortiz Jr. (23-0, 21 KOs) will return to the ring on November 8 to face American contender Erickson Lubin (27-2, 19 KOs).

Ortiz, the current interim WBC super welterweight champion, will seek to solidify his position as a mandatory challenger within the Green and Gold hue. For his part, Lubin comes in after turning down a fight against Bakhram Murtazaliev, staking everything on this opportunity against the interim champion.

The match represents a clash and divergence of styles between the devastating power of Ortiz, with a 91% knockout rate, and the wily experience of Lubin, who has been in the WBC’s orbit for the past few years.
