Sebastian Fundora: record, next fight and profile →
Unbeaten 154-pound contender Sebastián “The Towering Inferno” Fundora talks about reaching his peak as a fighter heading into his anticipated clash against Erickson “Hammer” Lubin as the two rising stars meet for the Interim WBC Super Welterweight Title headlining live on SHOWTIME Saturday, April 9 in a Premier Boxing Champions event from the Theater at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas, part of Curio Collection by Hilton.
It was somewhat frustrating for Erickson Lubin to watch Jermell Charlo and Brian Castano fight to a split draw July 17 in San Antonio. Three weeks earlier, Lubin knocked out former IBF/IBO/WBA 154-pound champion Jeison Rosario in the sixth round of what was considered a very risky fight for a contender who clearly has been willing to fight anyone while attempting to rebuild his career following a devastating defeat to Charlo in October 2017.
Last week a story by BoxingScene.com’s Keith Idec was published in which Sebastian Fundora tried to discredit Erickson Lubin’s (24-1) 6th round knockout victory over former unified junior middleweight champion Jeison Rosario last June.
Sebastian Fundora respects how Erickson Lubin has rebuilt his career following a devastating defeat nearly 4½ years ago. The undefeated Fundora, who will battle Lubin on April 9 in Las Vegas, has taken notice from afar while Lubin methodically became a top contender again within the 154-pound division. Orlando’s Lubin has won six straight fights since Jermell Charlo knocked him out with one punch in the first round of their fight for Charlo’s WBC super welterweight title in October 2017 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
