Hank Lundy Steps In As Adrien Broner’s
New Opponent Feb. 25 In Atlanta
Due to circumstances out of the control of BLK Prime, Ivan
Redkach (23-6-1, 18 KOs), who was intended to fight Adrien
Broner (34-4-1, 24 KOs) in a 10-round welterweight main
event on February 25, will now be replaced with “Hammerin”
Hank Lundy (31-12-1, 14 KOs).
Broner vs. Lundy, taking place at the Gateway Center in
Atlanta, Georgia, will broadcast worldwide on BLK Prime PPV
for $39.99. More details, including ticket sales and
undercard bouts, will be announced at a later date.
Broner vs. Lundy promises to be a thrilling and
action-packed matchup between two battle-tested warriors who
are promising to go to war. The combination of Broner's
speed and power with Lundy's grit and determination is sure
to make for an unforgettable night of boxing.
Broner, the former four-weight world champion and Cincinnati
native, has established himself as one of the sport's most
exciting and dynamic fighters today. He captured world
titles in four weight classes and is known for his bold and
confident style. He's a fan favorite that always put on a
show.
“I’m glad they found a worthy replacement in Hank Lundy,”
said Broner, from his training camp in South Florida.
“Unfortunately, Redkach had to pull out, but I’m ready for
whoever they put in front of me. This is the AB show and I’m
on a mission to bust up everyone in my way. Hank Lundy is in
trouble. I’m going to put a beating on him.”
Lundy, hailing from Philadelphia, PA, is a seasoned veteran
with an impressive resume having fought Terence Crawford,
Jose Zepeda, and Viktor Postol. He's known for his
relentless pressure and never-say-die approach. He's been in
the ring with some of the best fighters in the world and
always comes to fight. He's a fan favorite guaranteed to put
on a great show.
“Fighting Broner is something I’ve envisioned for a long
time and now this opportunity has presented itself to me,”
stated Lundy. “Broner has established himself as one of the
best fighters in the world, but he hasn’t been active, so
I’m going to take full advantage of his inactivity. Everyone
knows that I will fight anyone and the big names run from
me. So I’m telling everyone right now, I’m going to beat the
shit out of this can man.”
