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 ten-round welterweight main event on February 25th, will now be replaced with “Hammerin” Hank Lundy (31-12-1, 14 KOs). [Editor's note: Promoter Joe DeGuardia is reportedly holding up Redkach's participation. Meanwhile, Lundy has a fight on the books for Feb. 4th against Ernesto "Tito" Mercado (8-0, 8 KOs) in California. We shall see if that presents another obstacle to Broner's return].  Broner vs. Lundy, taking place at the Gateway Center in Atlanta, Georgia, will broadcast worldwide on BLK pay-per-view for $39.99. More details, including ticket sales and undercard bouts, will be announced at a later date. Broner vs. Lundy promises to be an action-packed matchup between two battle-tested warriors. 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. 

 

“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, 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.”
