Kevin Brown vs. Cletus Seldin Headlines “Night of Champions XIII” at 104th WBA Convention in Orlando

ORLANDO, FL (November 4, 2025) – The stage is set for a pivotal showdown as Boxlab Promotions presents “Night of Champions XIII” on Saturday, December 13, 2025, at the Caribe Royale Resort in Orlando, Florida, during 104th Annual World Boxing Association (WBA) Convention.

The 12-round main event will feature undefeated Cuban standout Kevin “Alfa” Brown (8-0, 3 KOs) against the battle-tested knockout artist Cletus “Hebrew Hammer” Seldin (29-1, 23 KOs) for the WBA Super Lightweight Interim World Title. The event will be streamed live worldwide on the Boxlab Promotions YouTube channel, offering fans front-row access to one of the year’s most anticipated matchups.

It’s a battle between two contrasting fighters — a young, smooth-moving Cuban star taking on a tough veteran known for constantly coming forward and throwing punches.

Brown, known for his technical precision and fluid footwork, sees this opportunity as his breakout moment. “This is the fight I’ve been waiting for,” said Kevin Brown, who currently holds the WBA Continental North America Super Lightweight Title. “Seldin is a tough, experienced warrior, but I believe my skills, my speed, and my mindset will prove I’m ready for the world stage. To fight for a world title at such a prestigious event like the WBA Convention is an honor. I plan to make a statement and show the boxing world that a new star is rising in the super lightweight division.”

But standing in his way is Brooklyn’s own Cletus “Hebrew Hammer” Seldin, a fan-favorite known for his devastating power and relentless come-forward style.

Seldin, looking to capture his first WBA belt, sees this as a chance to prove he’s still a major threat in a stacked division. “This is what I live for, big fights, big lights, and putting on a show,” said Seldin, who has 23 knockouts in his 29 wins and is managed by Elvis Grant. “Brown’s slick, but he hasn’t been in with someone like me. I bring pressure every second of every round, and on December 13, I’m bringing that hammer down hard. People talk about the new wave, the new generation — but I’m here to remind everyone that I’m not done. I’m hungry, and I’m coming to win.”

The event is a centerpiece of the WBA’s 104th Annual Convention, which brings together boxing’s top figures, champions, and stakeholders from around the globe.

“We are proud to host our 104th Convention at the Caribe Royale Resort in the beautiful city of Orlando, and to celebrate it with a fight card that reflects the tradition, passion, and global reach of the WBA,” said Gilberto Mendoza, President of the World Boxing Association. “Kevin Brown vs. Cletus Seldin is a perfect example of what boxing is all about — youth versus experience, styles clashing, and the hunger to become a champion. It’s going to be an unforgettable night.”

Boxlab Promotions, the official promoter of the card and host of the WBA Convention for a third consecutive year, has built a reputation for delivering world-class events with international flair.

“We’re incredibly proud to bring ‘Night of Champions XII’ to the WBA Convention and deliver a card that truly lives up to its name,” said Amaury Piedra, President of Boxlab Promotions. “Kevin Brown vs. Cletus Seldin is a world title fight that fans will love — it has all the ingredients…action, drama, and legacy. We’ve also got a stacked undercard coming, featuring talent from around the world, and streaming it free on our YouTube channel is our way of giving fans everywhere access to this special night.”
