At this current rate, it appears that Erickson Lubin will enjoy his first world title before he can enjoy a drink to celebrate such an event.
The 18-year old blue-chip prospect from Orlando, Florida continues to grow at an accelerated pace through his first year as a pro. There once existed hopes that Lubin would remain in the amateur ranks long enough to make a run at a Gold medal in the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio, but it’s been clear from his pro debut last November that his talents are far more suited for the pro ranks.
With that in mind, his handlers have begun the process of matching him tougher than was expected to be the case at this stage in his career. Lubin will face veteran Noe Bolanos on July 10 at the American Airlines Arena in Miami, in his first scheduled eight-round fight.
“I’ve never been six rounds before. Then again, I’ve never even been four rounds before,” comments Lubin (5-0, 5KOs) who has stopped all five of his opponents in three rounds or less since signing with Mike Tyson’s Iron Mike Productions on his 18th birthday last October. “I’m real confident heading into this fight and my career is moving along.” [Click Here To Read More]
