His most notable fight happened on October 20, 1973, against Muhammad Ali in Jakarta. It was evident during the fight, Lubbers was clearly no match to Ali; Lubbers lasted the full 12 rounds and lost via Decision. Lubbers last fought Gordon Racette on November 27, 1981, when he lost via Technical knockout in the third round and retired soon after.

After retiring Lubbers moved to Portugal, he was arrested in 1986 on charges of drug smuggling. He served a sentence of four years and was released from prison in 1990. Upon his release, he tried to make a living working in carnivals with his wife Ria. In his later years Lubbers became homeless and in 2009 he was living in a run-down caravan with his 20 dogs.[4] As of 2018, Lubbers was living in Bulgaria with Ria and their 16 stray dogs in a malfunctioning van which lacks water, electricity and sanitary facilities.[5]
