“Issouf Kinda is a sensational prospect who continues to shine with each fight. This is his fourth fight in 2012 and he hasn't lost a round yet. Mike Arnaoutis with his wealth of experience on a world class level who is looking to work his way to another title shot represents a very tough test for Kinda.”

“Also, we're very excited to have “The Hebrew Hammer”, Cletus Seldin making his return to the squared circle. Cletus' spectacular knockouts have played to packed houses since he turned pro last year

and the fans at the NYCB Theatre at Westbury are going to be amazed by his power. He's in against a very crafty veteran from Chicago, Carl McNickels and is sure to see some new looks coming at him in this fight.”

“We're also putting together a sensational undercard of local favorites and terrific young prospects which we will announce shortly,” DeGuardia continued.

Undefeated with a record of 14-0-0, (5KO's), Kinda is coming off a unanimous decision win over veteran Marteze Logan on AUGUST 24. He also served shut out unanimous decision wins over Luis Rodriguez and Angel Rios earlier this year.

Currently, the southpaw Arnaoutis is riding a two bout winning streak, most recently knocking out veteran Broderick Antoine in the seventh round at the Star Boxing VIP Boxing Event at Russo's On The Bay on MAY 2.

The heavy handed 26 year old Seldin, 8-0-0 with six stoppages, is making the fourth start of his 2012 campaign, having scored three consecutive knockouts all within the first two rounds this year. In his last start on JULY 28, he stopped Jonathan Garcia in the first round.

Known as “The Assassin”, the 28-year-old McNickels, 8-3-0 (6KO's), has fought all over the country facing numerous top prospects.

In his last outing on St. Patrick's Day, MARCH 17, McNickels fought hometown favorite Danny McDermott at Madison Square Garden, losing a very close majority decision in an epic, back-and-forth battle.
