ATLANTIC CITY, NJ (March 18, 2016)–TOMORROW NIGHT at The Claridge Hotel in Atlantic City,super middleweight Isiah Seldon returns to the ring after  a 33-month layoff when he challenges Michael Mitchell  as part of an 11-bout card that is promoted by Rising Promotions and Vincent M. Ponte’s Gulfstream Promotions.

In the main event, Thomas LaManna takes on Kendal Mena in a eight round welterweight bout.

Seldon is eager to be back in the ring after much soul searching over the past two-plus years.

“I have been working a job and staying in the gym.  I have been keeping sharp but I just needed to get my life in order, ” said Seldon.  “We have been looking for the right fight.  I was offered some good financial opportunities in Russia, but I want to do this the right way.  I am not in this for the money.”

Seldon feels at age 27, the time is now to concentrate on in his ring career.

“I am not getting any younger, and when I got the call from Rising Promotions and they offered me the right fight, I jumped at it.”

When asked about the veteran Mitchell, Seldon really doesn’t know alot.

“I don’t know much.  I saw a couple video snippets of him and I see a tough guys who comes forward.  It should be a good fight.  I trained very hard for this and I am ready.”

When asked what he sees in the next few years, Seldon, believes that with Rising Promotions looking to do stage multiple fight cards on the boardwalk property, he sees an active 2016.

“I am looking at two or three more fights this year.  Rising Promotions said I could be on their cards going forward.  I am just trying to stay busy.  I am 27 years-old and it is time to go.  The Beast Mode is turned on and I am excited to show a new Isiah Seldon.  Before I was just a brawler but in the time off, I have developed my boxing skills and I am a much better fighter.”
