Erickson Lubin believes win over Sebastian Fundora separates him from the rest of the 154-pound contenders

The rising contender has done everything asked of him en route to the interim WBC title shot on Saturday night
For as much attention as the pay-per-view driven divisions of heavyweight and welterweight regularly receive, there might not be another boxing weight class as deep or unpredictable at the moment as 154 pounds.
Not only have the four major titles changed hands with regularity in recent years, even the long-awaited undisputed championship fight last spring pairing Jermell Charlo and Brian Castaño ended via disputed draw and will be run back a second time on May 14.
So it should come as no surprise that an impatient line of hungry contenders has formed behind them, including Australian upstart Tim Tszyu, who made his U.S. debut a successful one on March 26 when he outpointed Terrell Gausha to secure his status as mandatory contender to Castaño's WBO title.
