In a high-stakes clash for the vacant WBA interim super lightweight title, undefeated Cuban prospect Kevin “Alfa” Hayler Brown faces battle-hardened veteran Cletus “The Hebrew Hammer” Seldin in the main event of Boxlab Promotions’ Night of Champions XIII. This 12-round showdown contrasts Brown’s slick, technical boxing with Seldin’s relentless pressure and power punching, promising a tactical battle that could go the distance or erupt into fireworks. Brown, riding an eight-fight win streak, looks to claim his first world title hardware, while the 39-year-old Seldin aims to play spoiler and extend his comeback run. Expect Brown to use his reach and footwork early, with Seldin closing distance to turn it into a war.

Injury Report
Both fighters entered fight week without reported issues, passing mandatory medicals and weigh-ins with flying colors. Brown, who sparred extensively in Las Vegas, confirmed no setbacks from a minor shoulder tweak during camp, crediting his Cuban conditioning for full recovery. Seldin, training in Brooklyn, addressed pre-fight rumors of a hand niggle from his March win but showed clean wraps and full power at the scales. No history of withdrawals or chronic injuries for either; this is a green light for a full 12-round effort.
Fighter Matchups
| Fighter | Age | Record | Height | Reach | Stance | Style Strengths | Weaknesses |
| Kevin Hayler Brown (“Alfa”) | 31 | 8-0-0 (3 KOs) | 5’9″ | 74″ | Orthodox | Speed, jab control, ring generalship; Cuban amateur pedigree shines in movement and counters | Low KO rate (38%); can be pressured into clinches if volume overwhelms |
| Cletus Seldin (“The Hebrew Hammer”) | 39 | 29-1-0 (23 KOs) | 5’7″ | 67″ | Orthodox | Explosive power, body attack, durability; thrives in phone-booth wars with high output | Age catching up in stamina; vulnerable to rangy boxers who dictate distance |
Key Matchup Dynamics:
Brown’s 7-inch reach edge and 2-inch height advantage allow him to pepper Seldin with jabs from outside, frustrating the shorter veteran’s advances. Seldin, a swarm-style aggressor, will feint to close gaps and target the body to slow Brown’s legs—his 79% KO rate stems from accumulation damage in close quarters. Both orthodox, but Brown’s superior footwork (evading 55% of power shots in recent bouts) counters Seldin’s forward pressure. In a 12-round title fight, endurance favors the younger man unless Seldin lands an early hammer.
Recent Form
Kevin Hayler Brown: Undefeated and ascending, Brown’s last five showcase growing confidence against fringe contenders. He’s decisioned tougher foes lately, averaging 52 punches thrown per round with sharp accuracy.
Last 5 Fights: W-UD10 (Juan Meza Angulo, Sep 18, 2025), W-UD8 (Pabkins Dorceus, Apr 19, 2025), W-TKO11 (Idalberto Umara, Nov 16, 2024), W-UD6 (Edgar Jimenez, Jun 22, 2024), W-KO3 (DeMarcus Corley, Feb 10, 2024)
Trend: 5-0; 1 KO. Dominated Angulo (outlanded 210-145) for the WBA Continental Americas belt, showing poise under fire. A fourth-round knockdown vs. Umara was his only blemish, but he rallied strong—ideal prep for Seldin’s power.
Cletus Seldin: Veteran rebounding from a lone 2017 loss, Seldin’s on an eight-fight KO streak against domestic opposition. His aggression yields 60+ landed punches per round but exposes him to counters.
Last 5 Fights: W-MD8 (Yeis Gabriel Solano, Mar 15, 2025), W-TKO7 (Roque Cash, Oct 26, 2024), W-KO3 (Bryan Luick, May 18, 2024), W-TKO5 (Anthony Lau, Dec 9, 2023), W-KO2 (Cesar Soriano, Jul 15, 2023)
Trend: 5-0; 4 KOs. Edged Solano in a gritty majority decision for the vacant WBA Fedelatin title, absorbing heavy fire but breaking him down late. At 39, his chin holds (never stopped), but output dips post-Round 8 in simulations.
