On Saturday, November 6th, HBO will televise its first fight from the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey when Zab “Super” Judah (39-6, 27 KO’s) battles Lucas Matthysse (27-0, 25 KO’s) in a 12-round, junior welterweight collision. Judah has won three fights in a row and five of his last six. On the other hand, Matthysse is undefeated, and holds four consecutive knockout victories.

On Tuesday, I caught up with Zab while he was training at the H.I.T. Factory Boxing Gym in Las Vegas, Nevada. He seems enormously eager to continue proving that he is the best junior welterweight in the world. Originally, the November 6th date was being held for Tomasz Adamek. When a fight for Adamek could not be scheduled in November, HBO immediately turned their attention to the former undisputed welterweight champion of the world.

“It’s great to be the first boxer to fight on HBO at the Prudential Center,” Judah exclaimed. “New York and New Jersey is the capital of boxing and we’re bringing it back again. I want to thank the Prudential Center for bringing Zab back.”
