Vergil Ortiz Jr. Could face Jaron Ennis in 2026. First, he must defend the interim WBC super welterweight title against Erickson Lubin on November 8. The event airs on DAZN.
After recovering from bouts with rhabdomyolysis, Ortiz (23-0) has moved in weight and has thrived at super welterweight. The Golden Gloves winner beat Serhii Bohachuk for interim gold and defended it against Israil Madrimov in February.
The 27-year-old looks to end a productive 2025 with momentum heading into a potential super fight.
Lubin (27-2) lost against Jermell Charlo and Sebastian Fundora for super welterweight gold. Now on a three-fight win streak, he attempts to erase those losses with a fight that could result in superstar status with a win.
“This is a legacy-type fight for me,” Lubin told FightHype via BoxingScene. “[Ortiz] is a young, undefeated, furious fighter. This right here sets up everything for me. I’m in my prime now, and I’m excited to show the world that I’m the number one 154-pounder in boxing.”
