CLETUS "THE HEBREW HAMMER" SELDIN (Long Island, NY 22-1 18KO) is bringing his devastating punching power to the Mohegan Sun in Uncasville CT, in the main event of an eagerly anticipated Star Boxing show on January 26th.
Seldin will face the heavy-hitting Hungarian, ADAM "BAD BOY" MATE (28-13 21KO), in a scheduled 10 round Jr. Welterweight contest. Seldin is coming fresh off his first round knockout of Nelson Lara last month in Oklahoma on ESPN+.
With 21 KOs in his 28 victories, Mate is a formidable puncher in his own right. A victory for the Hungarian would instantly propel him into prominence, and he is sure to go all out to capitalize on this opportunity. For Seldin, a win would place him at the doorstep of a world championship. When two punchers such as Seldin and Mate square off against one another, in a high-stakes contest such as this, both will be gunning for the knockout, and an exciting finish is expected.
Cletus Seldin had this to say about his upcoming bout: "I am excited to be fighting Adam Mate in front of my loyal fans at Mohegan Sun. I love that star boxing keeps me active. On January 26th you will see that I am ready to contend for the 140 lb. World Championship."
Adam Mate commented: "I am ready to capitalize on this great opportunity and look forward to displaying my talent in front of a U.S. audience."
JOE DEGUARDIA, CEO, and promoter of Star Boxing said this about SLUGFEST at the SUN: "We are excited to be back at Mohegan Sun to showcase knockout artist Cletus Seldin against Adam Mate. Both Seldin and Mate will put on a show that will thrill the fans."
