Vergil Ortiz Jr. and Erickson Lubin Set for Explosive Showdown in Fort Worth

PhilBoxing.com




FORT WORTH, Texas (Nov. 7, 2025) — Undefeated knockout artist Vergil Ortiz Jr. and seasoned contender Erickson “The Hammer” Lubin both made weight Friday ahead of their highly anticipated clash for the WBC Interim Super Welterweight Title, headlining a stacked card this Saturday, Nov. 8, at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas. The event is promoted by Golden Boy Promotions and will be streamed live worldwide on DAZN.

Ortiz (23-0, 21 KOs) of Grand Prairie, Texas, tipped the scales at 153.8 pounds, while Florida’s Lubin (27-2, 18 KOs) came in at 154 pounds—right on the limit for their 12-round main event. The matchup pits Ortiz’s raw power and relentless pressure against Lubin’s sharp southpaw skills in what promises to be one of the most explosive super welterweight battles of the year.

Co-Main Event: Fulghum vs. Stevens for WBA Continental North America Title

In the co-feature, Houston’s Darius Fulghum (14-1, 12 KOs) weighed in at 167.8 lbs for his 10-round WBA Continental North America Super Middleweight Title defense against David Stevens (15-2, 10 KOs) of Reading, Pennsylvania, who registered 168 lbs on the scale. The bout pits two heavy-handed prospects looking to break into world contention.
