By Sean Jones: Welterweight champions Keith Thurman and Errol Spence Jr. don’t see it being the end of the world for 22-year-old Erickson “The Hammer” Lubin (18-1, 13 KOs) following his brutal 1st round knockout loss to WBC junior middleweight champion Jermell “Iron Man” Charlo (30-0, 15 KOs) last Saturday night in their fight on Showtime Championship Boxing at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
By Dan Ambrose: Erickson “The Hammer” Lubin (18-0, 13 KOs) says he plans on attacking the older 27-year-old WBC light middleweight champion Jermell Charlo (29-0, 14 KOs) this Saturday night and outworking him with a high-volume attack in their triple-header fight on Showtime Championship Boxing at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
By Jim Dower: WBC World junior middleweight champion Jermell Charlo (29-0, 14 KOs) will be defending his title for the second time next month against his mandatory Erickson Lubin (18-0, 13 KOs) on October 14 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

By Scott Gilfoid: Wladimir Klitschko (64-4, 53 KOs) has been lifting a lot of weights in getting ready for his fight this month against IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua (18-0, 18 KOs) on April 29 at Wembley Stadium in London, England. Wladimir usually takes it easy on the weights, but he appears to be really bulking up for this fight knowing that he’s got to deal with the 250 pound Joshua.
By Jeff Aranow: WBA Super World junior middleweight champion Erislandy “The American Dream” Lara (23-2-2, 13 KOs) has two more fights left at 154 against fringe contender Yuri Foreman (34-2, 10 KOs) and WBC champion Jermell Charlo (28-0, 13 KOs) before he moves up to middleweight to go after the world titles in that weight class.
Lara will be done with the junior middleweight division before the end of 2017. The Lara-Foreman fight will be televised on Premier Boxing Champions on Spike. The fight will be taking place at the Hialeah Park Racing Casino in Hialeah, Florida, USA.
