Billed as ‘The Hebrew Hammer,’ Seldin 32, has won 23 of his 24 fights, with 19 coming inside the distance. He will box veteran Judah, now 41, for the North American Boxing Association (NABA) super lightweight crown over 12 rounds at the Turning Stone Resort Casino.

Seldin, whose come-forward style has earned him an 83 per cent knockout record, told Judah this week: “It doesn’t matter how talented you are, I’m going to outwork you.”

It’s a notable step-up in class for Seldin despite the fact that he has won and defended the WBC International Silver super lightweight crown on four occasions.

Judah has a record of 44 wins, nine losses and two no contests, and has boxed at the highest level, having shared a ring with stars like Floyd Mayweather, Amir Khan and Miguel Cotto although he lost all three of those bouts.
