Junior middleweights Jesus Ramos Jr. and Erickson Lubin, both strong southpaw punchers with crowd-pleasing styles, have agreed to fight next month.
Their bout is slated to be the co-feature of Canelo Alvarez’s defense of the undisputed super middleweight title against undisputed junior middleweight champion Jermell Charlo on Sept. 30 (Showtime PPV and PPV.com, 8 p.m. ET) at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, multiple sources with knowledge of the plans told Fight Freaks Unite.
Ramos (20-0, 16 KOs), 22, of Casa Grande, Arizona, who is one of boxing’s most promising up-and-comers, will be taking on the most notable opponent of his career in Lubin.
