Boxlab Promotions junior welterweight Kevin “Alfa” Brown (8-0, 3 KOs) is preparing for the biggest moment of his professional career as he takes on faded, ex-PED user Cletus “The Hebrew Hammer” Seldin (29-1, 23 KOs) for the WBA interim title on Saturday, December 13th. According to Wikipedia, "On April 6, 2017, Seldin tested positive for anabolic steroid use for a second time showing an increased level of testosterone and anabolic steroid Stanozolol also known as Winstrol , which forced his June 15th fight to be canceled. His testosterone to epitestosterone ratio (T/E) was 21.02 to 1, which far exceeded the allowable threshold of 4 to 1 under World Anti-Doping Agency standards."
The bout headlines a show during the 104th annual WBA Convention, held at the Caribe Royale Resort in Orlando, Florida, and streamed live on Boxlab Promotions’ official YouTube channel. Brown, who is co-promoted with Warriors Boxing, spoke about his recent training camp. “This has been the most intense and focused camp of my life. Every day, I’ve trained with the mindset that this fight could change everything. My team has pushed me beyond my limits—physically and mentally. I’m coming into this fight in the best shape I’ve ever been in, and more motivated than ever.”
On facing Seldin, Brown acknowledged the challenge with respect and determination. “Seldin is strong, aggressive, and experienced. He’s been in with tough guys and knows how to finish fights. But I’m not here to back down—I’m here to rise. I know what I bring to the table. This is my moment to show the world that I belong at the championship level.”
Brown reflected on the opportunity on fighting at the WBA Convention. “To compete for a world title during the WBA Convention, surrounded by legends and champions, is an incredible honor. It’s a reminder of how far I’ve come—and how far I’m going. I plan to leave everything in the ring and show that I’m ready to represent the WBA with pride.”
On realizing a lifelong dream to become a world champion, Brown emphasized how close he is. “Winning this fight would mean everything. It’s not just a title—it’s proof that all the years of sacrifice, the early mornings, the setbacks, and the hard work are paying off. It puts me one step closer to becoming a world champion. This is more than a fight…it’s a turning point in my life.”
Amaury Piedra, President of Boxlab Promotions, also spoke on Brown’s secondary title opportunity. “Kevin Brown is one of the most disciplined and skilled young fighters we’ve worked with. He’s got world-class talent, and this title shot is well deserved. Fans watching at the WBA Convention and around the world are going to see just how special this kid is. We believe Kevin is the future of the 140-pound division, and this is his moment to shine.”
