It’s too early to start calling him the “new” Hank Lundy, but the Philadelphia warhorse known affectionately as “Hammerin’” Hank has starting thinking about his future outside of the ring while keeping his sights set firmly on the present. As he prepares for tomorrow’s fight against ageless Washington, D.C. native DeMarcus Corley at the 2300 Arena, Lundy is confident as ever in both his campaign for a world title at 135 pounds and his life beyond boxing, which he’s helped secure through wise investments.
While waiting for an opportunity to fight on a premium network or a big-money fight, Henry 'Hank' Lundy is going to remain busy. In a stay-busy fight Friday night, Lundy stopped Daniel Evangelista of Mexico in round five before a sold-out crowd at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
At the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, Hank Lundy (28-6-1, 14 KOs) dropped and stopped Daniel Evangelista (19-8-2, 15 KOs) in five rounds.

It was his first fight since Feb. 27 of last year, when he was stopped by Terence Crawford.
