IMMOKALEE, FL. (January 29, 2016) – Erickson Lubin (13-0, 10 KO’s) has been groomed for this and now it’s here.

The much talked about 20 year-old pro will be headlining for the first time when he takes on Jose De Jesus Macias (18-4-2, 9 KO’s) this Sunday at the Seminole Casino Immokalee and will be televised LIVE on PBC: The Next Round on Bounce TV.

The show is promoted by King’s Promotions and Panther Promotions.

Lubin, who has already been showcased on several networks, will now be in the main event. A situation that Lubin figures to be doing a lot over the next decade. In order to continue his rise to the top, Lubin must get past the durable Macias.

“Training went well. I am just trying to get the last couple pounds off and waiting
for Sunday,”said Lubin from his hometown of Orlando. Florida.

“I am going in there to try to make a statement. When I do that, people will know me more.”

Lubin knows that it could be a feat to stop Macias inside the distance, but he is not banking on the early night.

“I only know that he has not been knocked out but I am going to go in there and just do what I do. The focus is to just break him down and dominate the fight.”

“I just want everyone to tune in on Sunday to Bounce TV and watch me fight.”

When a fighter with Lubin’s credentials that included an amateur record of 143-7 that included the 2013 National Golden Gloves and PAL championships, his team needs to take the right approach in moving their young fighter. In Lubin’s case, managers Henry Rivalta and Gary Jonas have a plan mapped out for 2016.

“We just want to keep him busy. He is just 20, but we think he is the best prospect in the sport. With each passing fight, he has stepped up. He is not your average 20 year-old. He is very mature and well spoken. That, plus his ability is what makes him special. He wants to be great and I feel he will be. I think after three more wins he can compete for a world title. We will see where we are at by the end of 2016,” said Rivalta.

“Erickson Lubin has definitely raised eyebrows since he turned professional. His thirteen wins have been spectacular. Some better than others. This is a kid who continues to learn more and has the desire to master his craft and leave his own legacy set in stone someday,” said Jonas. “We believe that in due time, Erickson will be a world champion.”

The telecast begins at 9 p.m. ET/PT and is headlined by undefeated rising star Erickson “The Hammer” Lubin taking on Mexican brawler Jose De Jesus Macias in a 10-round super welterweight battle while welterweights Alex “El Pollo” De Jesus and Joseph Elegele meet in an eight-round showdown.

IMMOKALEE, FL. (January 12, 2016) – Undefeated rising star Erickson “The Hammer” Lubin (13-0, 10 KOs) out of Orlando returns to take on Mexican brawler Jose De Jesus Macias (18-4-2, 9 KOs) in a 10-round super welterweight battle as Premier Boxing Champions – The Next Round on Bounce TV returns on Sunday, January 31 from Seminole Casino Hotel Immokalee in Immokalee, Florida.

Televised coverage on Bounce TV begins at 9:00 p.m. ET and features Puerto Rican Olympian Alex “El Pollo” De Jesus (21-1, 13 KOs) in an eight-round showdown against Florida’s Joseph Elegele (14-2, 10 KOs).

“I am excited and ready to shine in my first main event,” said Lubin. “It means a lot to headline in my home state of Florida. The whole crowd will be on my side and they will expect a lot. I am going to have a big 2016. I am training hard, staying focused and I want to make sure the whole world knows who Erickson Lubin is.”

“I’m very happy to be part of this show and to be featured in the main event,” said De Jesus Macias. “Training camp has been excellent and I will have to give 100 percent in the ring against Erickson Lubin. I will have to move a lot and get inside and have a tight defense so I don’t get hit by one of Lubin’s bombs.”

“Erickson Lubin has deservedly so been touted as one of the best prospects in the sport and I look forward to seeing him in action on January 31,” said Marshall Kauffman of King’s Promotions. “He has built up a great base in Florida and we look forward to seeing all of his fans at this great card on January 31.”

A highly-regarded prospect with an exciting style, the 20-year-old Lubin has burst onto the scene looking to engage and finish opponents early. He blew out Ayi Bruce and previously unbeaten Kenneth Council with first round knockouts and outclassed experienced veterans Michael Finney and Norberto Gonzalez, all since November 2014. To close out his year, Lubin dominated veteran Orlando Lora before stopping him in the sixth-round in September and in November he delivered a sensational one-punch knockout over Alexis Camacho.

A pro since 2011, the 23-year-old De Jesus Macias picked up victories in 2015 over Gabriel Agramon and Jose Zuniga. Trained by Rigoberto Alvarez, brother of Canelo, the Guadalajara, Mexico-native will make his U.S. debut on January 31. In addition to having a wealth of experience at such a young age, De Jesus Macias rode a 14 fight unbeaten streak from October 2010 through 2013.

An accomplished amateur who won several regional titles in his native Puerto Rico, De Jesus represented his home in the 2004 Olympics and was the first Puerto Rican to win an Olympic boxing match since 1996. The 32-year-old won a Latino title and went on to defend it four times including victories over Bulmaro Solis, Steve Quinonez and Jose Antonio Izquierdo. Most recently he defeated Javier Garcia in February 2015.

After piling up an amateur record of 69-8, Elegele turned pro in 2009 and reeled off 12 victories to start his career. Fighting out of Winter Haven, Florida, he owns victories over Manuel Aguilar, Angel Hernandez and Lanard Lane. Most recently, the 31-year-old earned a victory over Jonathan Garcia.
