Yesterday an article ran on BoxingScene.com stating that super welterweight contender Erickson Lubin (21-1) would return to the ring against 2012 US Olympian Terrell Gausha (21-1-1). 

Lubin was expected to face former title challenger Dennis Hogan, but Hogan will now move up to middleweight to take on WBC middleweight champion JermallCharlo. The Athletic's Mike Coppinger first reported the news.

Sources have now told BoxingScene.com that the Lubin-Gausha showdown will headline a Showtime card on October 26th at a venue still to be determined. In the co-feature bout former WBA super welterweight champion Brian Castaño will battle the upset minded Wale Omotoso.

Lubin has picked up three wins since suffering his only loss which came against Jermell Charlo in 2017.  He is 2-0 with 2 knockouts in 2019 and is looking to keep his moment going.

Gausha last fought in May when he battled Austin Trout to a disputed draw in Biloxi, Mississippi. Gausha also suffered his only loss in 2017 when he dropped a 12 round decision to Erislandy Lara.

Castaño held the WBA "regular" super welterweight title but relinquished it in June when he refused to travel to France to face Michel Soro, his mandatory challenger in a rematch.  Soro's promoter had won the purse bid but Castaño refused to sign the contract after having a contractual dispute that stemmed from their first fight in 2017 that Castaño won by split decision. He was last in action in March when he fought Lara to a split draw.

Omotoso has campaigned at welterweight for most of his career but picked up the biggest win of his career in June when he upset former title challenger Curtis Stevens in Las Vegas. It was Omotoso's third fight at 154 pounds.
