NEW YORK, NEW YORK (March 22, 2012) “The Hebrew Hammer” Cletus Seldin heads back to the ring on Saturday, March 31st at Star Boxing’s ROCKIN’ FIGHTS 3, at The Paramount in Huntington, Long Island.
The 25-year-old Seldin has turned heads in the New York City area with his stunning knockouts in his last three bouts, raising his record to 6-0-0 with five knockouts since turning pro in July 2011.
At ROCKIN’ FIGHTS 3, the former bodybuilding champion will face off against Rochester, New York’s Marcus Hall, 5-4-1 (2KO’s) in a scheduled six round welterweight tilt.
On January 28th at The Paramount, Seldin wasted little time against Tyler Pogline; drilling him to the canvas three times as referee Ricky Gonzalez called a halt to the carnage at the 2:25 mark of the opening round.
Recently signed to Joe DeGuardia’s Star Boxing, plans are big for Seldin. “Cletus has the attributes to be very successful in boxing. Only six fights into his pro career and it’s already obvious he has world-class knockout power and has a huge following. The fans are turning out in strong numbers and he’s impressing them with his knockouts” said DeGuardia.
On October 22nd, Seldin fought on the undercard of the HBO televised Nonito Donaire/Omar Narvaez bantamweight world title bout at Madison Square Garden, “The Mecca of Boxing.”
Seldin came prepared, stopping Jose Segura Torres in brutal fashion with Torres hitting the canvas three times towards a second round knockout in front of the sold out crowd of over 4,500 in The Theatre.
