Bruce Seldon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bruce Seldon (born January 30, 1967) was the World Boxing Association Heavyweight champion from 1995 to 1996. 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.
Bruce Seldon was accused of smoking marijuana and having sex with a 15-year-old girl in 1997. He was charged with sexual assault as well as drug and weapons charges. He pleaded guilty to reduced charges of two counts of endangering the welfare of a child. He was sentenced to 364 days in jail and five years of probation in 1998.
In his most recent fight on October 28, 2005, Seldon was knocked out in the second round by Tye Fields.
