Early life and amateur career

Lubin was born to Haitian parents Erick Lubin and Marjorie in Orlando, Florida where he grew up as idolizing Oscar De La Hoya and other boxers. Lubin won the 2013 Golden Gloves as a welterweight. He was expected to qualify for the 2016 Olympics but turned professional instead.

Professional career

Lubin made his professional debut on November 2013. After 17 wins, 12 of them by way of knockout, Lubin faced Jorge Cota in a WBC light middleweight title eliminator. The fight was scheduled for 4 March 2017 as a co-feature to Keith Thurman-Danny García. Cota went down on the fourth round, he would rise but the referee deemed him unable to continue. With the win, Lubin became Jermell Charlo's mandatory challenger.[3]

On August 24, RingTV announced that the fight between Charlo and Lubin would take place on October 14 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. The fight card would also feature Erislandy Lara defending his WBA title against Terrell Gausha and Jarrett Hurd defending his IBF title against Austin Trout, with the event being billed as a super welterweight triple-header.[4] Charlo made swift work of Lubin, knocking him out toward the end of the first round, as Lubin dipped directly into a right uppercut in an attempt to dodge a left jab.[5]
