Sebastián Andrés Lujan (born December 14, 1979) is an Argentine professional boxer and three-time world title challenger.
In June 2003, Sebastián Andrés won the WBO Latino Welterweight Championship by beating fellow Argentinian Carlos Adan Jerez, at the time Jerez had a record of 14-1.
On February 18, 2005 Lujan lost to the WBO Welterweight Champion American Antonio Margarito on ESPN.
His next title fight ended in a disputed decision loss to the WBO Light Middleweight Champion Sergiy Dzindziruk in Die Kulturhalle, Munich, Bayern, Germany.
On December 3, 2011, Jones defeated Sebastian Andres Lujan by unanimous decision in an IBF Welterweight Title Eliminator. The fight took place at Madison Square Garden on the under card of Miguel Cotto vs Antonio Margarito II.
His victory over Paolo Roberto is referenced in Stieg Larsson's book The Girl Who Played with Fire. In the book, Paolo gets beaten down by an unusually hulk and ironically says that next time they should send Sebastián Andrés Luján instead.
