BoxingScene.com has learned that Bally’s Atlantic City Hotel and Casino will host a card co-headlined by Atlantic City natives Mike Arnaoutis and former WBA heavyweight champion Bruce Seldon, respectively. MSG is slated to televise.

Junior welterweight “Mighty” Mike Arnaoutis (19-2-2, 9 KOs) will battle Nasser Athumani (20-6-2, 16 KOs), while Seldon (38-6, 34 KOs) will look to continue his comeback against undefeated prospect Kevin Johnson (19-0-1, 6 KOs).

The card on Sept. 5 will mark the second straight time Arnaoutis has fought at Bally’s Atlantic City Hotel and Casino. In his last appearance in Atlantic City on May 9, the Greek fighter defeated Lanardo Tyner in a battle of 140-pounders.

Seldon also won his last bout in his hometown of Atlantic City, defeating the unheralded Livin Castillo at the Showboat Casino on May 31. The former heavyweight champion will prepare to battle Johnson, a sound boxer who doesn’t display a huge amount of power.
