Seldin and Solano Make Weight

Cletus Seldin and Yeis Solano both made weight ahead of their clash tomorrow at the Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York, New York, USA. Seldin came out with a leprechaun hat and tossed it into the crowd before the ceremonial weigh-in.

Seldin (28-1, 23 KOs) came in at 139.2 pounds. This is the lightest the 38 year old Seldin has been since the William Silva fight in 2021, three bouts ago. His lightest was 138.25 pounds against Zab Judah in 2019. His heaviest was 148 pounds early in his career.

Solano (15-4, 10 KOs) weighed 139.4 pounds. This is the lightest the southpaw has weighed since 2019, which was his first fight in the United States. The 32 year old Colombian's lightest weight was 130 pounds ten years ago. His heaviest was 143.75 pounds in 2021.

At the press conference, Cletus Seldin said he belongs on the 360 Promotions' St. Patrick Day card because he's 3% Irish. The Hebrew Hammer is about as Irish as a potato latke, but Cletus showed appreciation to promoter Tom Loeffler for including him on this show. Seldin told Inside The Ropes that he has tried to get on cards up and down the East Coast this past year, but the free agent hasn't much luck. Seldin's last fight was on 360 Promotions' St. Patrick's card last year.
The weigh-in can be viewed at Fight Hub's YouTube page. The Jewish Boxing Blog's preview of the fight can be viewed here.

Seldin-Solano is scheduled for eight rounds and will be streamed on UFC  Fight Pass's YouTube page. The event is scheduled to start at 4pm New York time, and Seldin's fight in the third bout.
