FACT SHEET "WESTBURY WARS"
October 4, 2012ISSOUF KINDA VS. MIKE ARNAOUTIS TITLE FIGHT SATURDAY NIGHT
October 12, 2012NEW YORK, NY (October 10, 2012) Long Island fan favorite Cletus ‘The Hebrew Hammer” Seldin returns to the squared circle this Saturday night, OCTOBER 13 in the eight round co-main event at Star Boxing’s “Westbury Wars”, a sensational evening of world class professional boxing at the NYCB Theatre at Westbury.
Sporting an unblemished professional record and known for his show stopping knockouts, the 26-year-old Seldin, 8-0-0 (5KO’s), will clash with Chicago based spoiler, Carl ‘The Assassin” McNickles, 8-3-0 (6KO’s).
Speaking upon his return from training camp in Florida, Seldin was very enthusiastic about his upcoming fight in the iconic venue.
“It’s my first scheduled eight rounder and just like my last three bouts, I hear that McNickles will truly test me and won’t be an early knockout victim,” said Seldin. “I haven’t seen any tape of him, I’ve just heard that he likes to fight in the middle of the ring, which is exactly the last place he should want to be.”
“I’m also anxious to fight at Westbury, it’s been the home of hundreds of world class performers and I’m sure that I will have a huge amount of fans there. My last four fights have been at The Paramount in Huntington and it’s been sold out each time.”
Said Joe DeGuardia, President of Star Boxing about Seldin’s upcoming bout, “Cletus has truly energized the Long Island fight crowd and has become a must-see attraction. He has scored highlight reel knockouts thus far but McNickles is a smart and tough fighter who will provide a very stern test for Cletus.”
“Many world class performers have had their best nights at Westbury over the years, we’re hoping that Cletus has one of those nights.”
In Seldin’s last bout on JULY 28, he knocked out highly touted Puerto Rican prospect Jonathan Garcia in the first round.
About his training camp in Florida, Seldin stated, “I had some terrific sparring with (former world champion) Joan Guzman. Excellent battles that really made me more confident for this fight and the future.”
“My conditioning is outstanding. The more rounds I sparred with Guzman each day the better I felt. While I’m known for knocking out people early, I’m actually proud of my boxing skills, maybe this fight I can put them on display.”
The 28-year-old McNickles, 8-3-0 (6KO’s), has fought all over the country facing numerous top prospects.
In his last outing on St. Patrick’s Day, MARCH 17, McNickles fought hometown favorite Danny McDermott at Madison Square Garden, winning a very close majority decision in an epic, back-and-forth battle.
“Westbury Wars” is headlined by a highly anticipated ten round battle for the New York State Junior Welterweight Title between undefeated African prospect Issouf Kinda, now based in New York City, and former world title challenger “Mighty” Mike Arnaoutis, a native of Greece, now residing in Astoria, New York.
