Here is what Lubin (20-1, 15 KOs) had to say about his upcoming matchup, training camp with Kevin Cunningham and more as he prepares to enter the ring June 29:<\/p>\n
On his matchup with Zakaria Attou:<\/p>\n
\u201cAttou is coming into this fight with a lot of confidence being that he hasn\u2019t lost a fight since 2015. He\u2019s on a nice winning streak and I\u2019m looking at this fight like a world title fight.<\/p>\n
\u201cStylistically I feel I\u2019m going to have every advantage with my speed, power and footwork. I\u2019m taking this fight very serious. I\u2019m going to adjust after the first few rounds and go from there. I see this being a fan friendly fight because both of us will have everything on the line.\u201d<\/p>\n
On working recent training camp with Kevin Cunningham:<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a 12-round bout, so I\u2019ve been training for a long grueling fight. This will be my second fight with Kevin Cunningham as the lead and we are working great together. Right now, we are finalizing the last days of camp out here in West Palm Beach Florida. I feel great and I\u2019ll be at my best on June 29.<\/p>\n
On working his way back to a world title shot\u2026<\/p>\n
\u201cEverything takes time and right now we are solely focused on Attou. When I\u2019m victorious against him, I\u2019ll be knocking on the door of another world title shot. When that time comes, I will take full advantage of the opportunity. I will be a world champion in my career.\u201d<\/p>\n
On the state of the super welterweight division\u2026<\/p>\n
\u201cRight now, the 154-pound division has a lot of good fighters from top to bottom. All the champions are beatable though, so the division is wide open for me to take over, in my opinion. I must win this fight first. One thing for sure is I\u2019m coming for all their heads.\u201d<\/p>\n
