Zachary Wohlman incurred a nasty gash across his forehead in his last fight on September 20. Wohlman describes how the cut occurred against Jesus Vallejo that night. Zac needed 32 stitches.
But Wohlman told The Jewish Boxing Blog, "My cut is healing unbelievably quick. I start training again Friday." He said that he's looking at November 10 at the Staples Center for his return and that he's "very excited" about that possibility. In the meantime, Wohlman will be working with the Paulie Malignaggi camp in preparation for the latter's fight with Pablo Cesar Cano on October 20.
Wohlman, nicknamed "Kid Yamaka," is a popular prospect from the Los Angeles area who sports a record of 4-0-1 with one KO. The draw came in the aforementioned Vallejo bout and was of the technical variety.

Seldin to Fight on October 13
Welterweight Cletus Seldin is scheduled to be back in the ring on October 13 at the NYCB Theatre in Westbury, New York. Veteran Carl McNickles is slated to be Seldin's opponent.
Seldin (8-0, 6 KOs), a 26 year old, has five consecutive knockouts, all coming in the third round or earlier. He is coming off of a first round stoppage of Jonathan Garcia in July. That fight lasted two minutes and 18 seconds.
Of his aggressive style, the man nicknamed the "Hebrew Hammer" told The Jewish Boxing Blog, "Even though my style looks like I'm just a bull, there is a science behind it... I can also just box too, but I just like to fight hard." Seldin noted that his strategy for each fight is detailed, "A lot of preparation goes into a fight, so much that my coach even told me what punches are going to win the fight the last two bouts."
McNickles (8-3, 6 KOs), a 28 year old from Chicago, has fought as heavy as junior middleweight and as small as lightweight. McNickles has two majority decision victories since a December 2009 loss to Gabriel Bracero.

Chilemba's Post-Fight Interview
Coming off of his unanimous decision victory over Rayco Saunders on Saturday night, Isaac Chilemba (20-1-1, 9 KOs) spoke with Victor Salazar of Tha Boxing Voice. Chilemba noted that Saunders was "tough." Since Saunders used a high guard, Chilemba explained, "I knew that every time I jabbed him, he was going to cover up- he's going to cover his whole body- so the only punch I could get in proper was the uppercut. And it worked well."
Chilemba, nicknamed the "Golden Boy," was originally scheduled to face the undefeated Zsolt Erdei. Isaac expressed interest in that fight and in facing the best at light heavyweight, including Chad Dawson, Jean Pascal, Nathan Cleverly, Tavoris Cloud, or Bernard Hopkins. Chilemba declared, "All I want is to be the best in my division."
