It was after a boxing match between Seldon and Mike Tyson that Tupac Shakur was murdered in a drive-by shooting.
Seldon was subjected to much ridicule after the bout because many thought he seemed scared to death of Tyson and went down and out from only a glancing blow to his head.
On Saturday, Seldon, in the third fight of a comeback he began in March, will return to Las Vegas for the first time since the Tyson bout to battle unbeaten prospect Gerald Nobles on the Roy Jones-Antonio Tarver II undercard.
Seldon has scored two wins on the comeback trail, knocking out serviceable journeyman Otis Tisdale in March, and former middleweight Lenzie Morgan in April (the less said about that mismatch the better).
Seldon would defend his title once, a tenth round TKO of Joe Hipp, before being led to the slaughter against Tyson.
