Erickson Lubin and Sebastian Fundora are set to face each other this coming Saturday in Las Vegas with the winner putting themselves in prime position for a world title shot.
Fundora is a freak of nature in this division. His height of 6' 5" means it should be difficult to make 154lbs, but the American has produced knockout victories in the early stages of his career and his win against Sergio Garcia last December resulted in an opportunity to face Lubin.
Lubin on the other hand is in the midst of a re-build. Following his first-round knockout loss to unified champion Jermell Charlo in October 2017, Lubin has put together a six-fight winning streak. Will he be able to make it seven against Fundora?
