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

Undefeated WBC interim super welterweight world champion Vergil Ortiz Jr. (23-0, 21 KOs), of Grand Prairie, Texas, returns to the DFW as he goes up against Erickson “The Hammer” Lubin (27-2, 19 KOs), of Orlando, Florida, on Saturday, November 8, at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth live on DAZN.

“I’m always happy to be a part of the fights that fans want to see,” said Vergil Ortiz. “See you guys November 8!”

“I want to thank Golden Boy, PBC and ProBox for making this happen,” said Erickson Lubin. “I think the fans are in for a treat. This is the moment I’ve been waiting for, this fight is about redemption, I’m back for everything.”

“Vergil Ortiz Jr. is the most ducked fighter in boxing — period,” said Chairman and CEO Oscar De La Hoya. “Big names talk tough until Vergil’s name comes up, then suddenly the phone goes silent. I commend Erickson Lubin; he has the guts that these fighters nowadays lack - courage! He has dared to enter Vergil’s den. On Nov. 8 at Dickies Arena, fans are going to see why everyone else keeps running from Vergil Ortiz Jr.”
