Bruce Seldon is one of the most popular and richest Boxer who was born on January 30, 1967 in Atlantic City, New Jersey, United States. Bruce Samuel Seldon (born January 30 1967) is an American former professional boxer who played between 1988 and 1996 from 2004 until 2009. Seldon was the holder of his WBA Heavyweight championship from 1995 until 1996. Seldon was the most notable loser in the final round to Mike Tyson via knockout in his second fight.
On the 18th of August on the 18th of August, 1995 Seldon was a fighter on undercards of Mike Tyson’s Peter McGeeley fight, which was Tyson’s first fight since his return to boxing. In the first fight for his title Seldon utilized his jab to disarm Joe Hipp and stop him in the 10th round.
Seldon’s next defense was scheduled against Tyson, who in early 1996 won the WBC title for a second time by knocking out Frank Bruno. The bout was originally to be a title unification fight, with both Seldon’s WBA belt and Tyson’s WBC belt at stake. However, the WBC mandated that Tyson defend his belt against former champion Lennox Lewis first. Since the fight with Seldon was already signed, Tyson vacated his belt and only Seldon’s was on the line when the two fought on September 7, 1996.
Seldon attempted a comeback at age 37 in 2004. He defeated two journeymen before gaining a high-profile fight on HBO with Gerald Nobles. Abandoning his jab and boxing style for a punch out, Seldon decked Nobles in the second and was ahead on points but ended up throwing in the towel due to an eye injury in the ninth. In his next bout, an overweight Seldon was stopped in two rounds by Tye Fields.
Seldon came back in the year 1992, scoring the win in the fight against Jesse Ferguson whom he stopped due to an eye injury but was smashed down and then outpointed that same year by the former champion Tony Tubbs. Seldon contracted with promoter Don King in 1993 and boxed on several of his undercards. Most particularly in August 1993, when he beat former champion Greg Page in nine rounds.
