Lemieux is one the names in the running to see action on the HBO Pay-Per-View undercard to the Canelo Alvarez vs. Gennady Golovkin rematch, which takes place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Lemieux has been rebuilding his career after suffering a one-sided decision loss to current WBO middleweight champion Billy Joe Saunders in December of 2017. That defeat snapped a four fight winning streak, which began after suffering a TKO defeat to Gennady Golovkin in October 2015.
