On this Day in #Fistiana... Tyson vs. Seldon #boxing #boxeo

Mike Tyson vs. Bruce Seldon

September 7, 1996


"I'm gonna do well and I don't think there'll be no problem. Holyfield's in for a lot of trouble." -Mike Tyson
"I didn't choke up, as you see I did not choke up."-Bruce Seldon

On this day in fistiana, in Las Vegas Nevada, Iron Mike Tyson acquired the WBA Heavyweight Title using sheer terror and a mostly-missed left hook against the Atlantic City Express Bruce Seldon. Also of note, it was in the post-fight procession from the MGM Arena that rapper Tupac Shakur got into a scuffle which spilled into the casino and may have lead to his shooting later that evening.



this includes interviews with both fighters, with jim gray pressing seldon and ferdie pacheco being an apologist for the shit-show.
