PRESSER QUOTES
Sal Musumeci, CEO of The Real Deal Boxing: “We’re honored to be here in Rhode Island. So many champs come through here and we’re here for that reason and its great boxing fans. I’ve been promoting 20 years with more than 400 shows worldwide. I know where we want to go to places with people who appreciate boxing.”
“Evander and I got together to put together The Real Deal Boxing because we want the same shows, two warriors in the ring, and that’s what you’re going to see Petak night at The Stand. Thanks for accepting is here. Toka is a great inspiration. When I first heard his story, my COO (Eric Bentley) sad we need to sign him. He’s in a tough fight. Toka accepted the challenge because he believes he’ll be world champion.”
“Turchi is an undefeated cruiserweight who will grow into a heavyweight. An Italian heavyweight like the great Rocky Marciano who fought in providence so many times.”
“I guarantee u petak night you’ll see the most competitive fights in Providence in many years.”
Evander Holyfield: “I’m honored to be here. A big part of me being a promoter is how can I help boxing? I started at eight, when I was told I’d be like Ali. I believed that, but I had to ask my mother (permission to box). I was a four-time heavyweight world champion, but I also had my ups and downs. I tell them (my fighters), if they listen and ask me for advice, I will tell them. The problems today with millennials is that there’s really nobody to tell them. Just ask me, I tell them.”
“I bring a lot to boxing, but I won’t say I will make my fighters champions. I will give them an opportunity to be champion. I had opportunities and never quit. If you set goals and you don’t quit, you’ll reach that goal. Correct your mistakes and don’t quit. These fighters need to believe in me but, što je još važnije, they need to believe in themselves. I can give them advice because I’ve done it. I’m on their side.”
Toka Kahn-Clary: “I want to thank Evander, Sal and everybody on my team for having me fight in my state. I also want to thank my manger, trainer and Dan Crotty. Sretan sam što sam ovdje. Boxing isn’t easy, but it is the path I’ve chosen. I’m fighting here on national television, representing my city and state.”
“I’m going to put on a show December 1st. It’s not going to be easy but I’m going in the ring to give it my all. I can’t wait to fight!”
Seth DeRobbio, manager of Toka Kahn-Clary, Irvin Gonzalez, Nick DeLomba & Timmy Ramos:
“I want to thank Sal and Evander for giving Providence good fights. This is a great opportunity for Toka, who is fighting a 19-0 protivnik, setting up a 2018 to be a big year for him. Nadajmo se, we’ll be bringing something very big to Providence, previše. You won’t know who is going to win Petak night until the fights are over.”
Petar Manfreda, Sr., head trainer for Kahn-Clary: “I’d like to thank Evander, Seth, the whole crew (The Real Deal Boxing). When Seth mentioned signing Toka with Evander, I soon learned that they take care of their fighters, no BS. Listen to them and you’ll make it to the top.
“Toka Kahn-Clary is the best fighter I’ve ever had, I’ve had a lot of good ones. Toka is always in condition, he works hard and has an iron chin. He wants to be a legend and I’m going to do everything to help him.”
Fabio Turchi: “I’m really happy to be here. I want to thank Real Deal Boxing for having faith in me. I will try to do my best to put on a great show. The people here mean a lot to me and I want to make the Italian-Americans here in Providence proud of me.”
Nick DeLomba: I want to thank Evander for putting me on this card. I grew up watching his fights on video; he is my idol and I’m honored to be fighting on his card. Dolazim boriti. My opponent is a tough fighter who’ll bring his best.”

WORKOUT QUOTES
Evander Holyfield, Eve Kuće slavnih, Real Deal Boxing:“There’s a lot of pressure fighting in a big fight for the first time at home. I remember my homecoming in Atlanta, back in 1985, and there were a lot of distractions. Everybody who knew my name showed up, most looking for free tickets. I was skeptical about ever fighting there again. Everybody’s different, though.”
“Toka may be our first world champion. He’s a very disciplined person who has been through a lot. I come from the ghetto but, when I heard his story, wow, I couldn’t believe his (life) was harder than mine.”
Toka-Kahn-Clary: (Toka became a father for the first time on Nov. 11, when his wife, Devanni, delivered a 7-pound girl, Adaline) “Sada, I’m fighting for my family, not just Toka anymore.”
“Osjećam se dobro. I had to have patience and faith in my craft to get here. If you keep working hard, doors will open, and when they do you have to jump right through. I want to win impressively, dominate the fight”
“I see a lot of top fighters in my weight class. I’m not going to name any until after this fight, but I have the talent to beat them.”
“I want to be recognized after I stop fighting, like Evander, who everybody knows, likes and respects.”
Petar Manfreda, Sr., Kahn-Clary glava trenera: “Toka is a top prospect who is becoming a contender. A lot of fighters don’t even get to this point. This fight is a major opportunity to get him closer to where he wants to be, not just a world champion, but for his name to be remembered in boxing. He wants to be a legend. He has to remain focused because this is the first time he’ll have a big crowd behind him.”
Fabio Turchi (Italian Amateur Champion) “Everybody here has been great, very hospitable. It’s such a great honor for me to fight in America with its great boxing tradition. I want to have a great fight to be embraced by Americans, especially here in Rhode Island. It’s beautiful having so many Italians, that gives me and added push to win.”
Nick DeLomba: “This opportunity means the world to me because I’ll be showcasing my talents in front of my hometown fans. An impressive win will, hopefully, get me to the next level, in TV fights against bigger names.”

Evander Holyfield & Luis Collazo Ring 8’s Special Guest Speakers

Utorak, Studeni. 21 u O'Neill's Restaurant
U Maspethu, NY
NEW YORK (Studeni 15, 2017)) – Eve Kuće slavnih Evander “Real Deal” Holyfield and former world welterweight champion Luis Collazo will be special guest speakers at Ring 8’s next monthly meeting,Utorak noć, Studeni 21, u O'Neill's Restaurant (64-21 53rd Voziti) u Maspethu, Njujork,
Because a large crowd is expected, only Ring 8 members will be allowed to attend this meeting, but membership may be obtained at the door for those interested in joining Ring 8.
“Evander Holyfield is one of the few living legends in our sport,” Prsten 8 predsjednik Jack Hirsch rekla. “Tako, you can imagine how thrilled we are to have him as a guest speaker. We had planned to present Holyfield with the Ring 8 Legends Award at our holiday banquet, but a lucrative business opportunity will prohibit him from being there that afternoon. Umjesto, we will present him with that award at O’Neil’s. It says a lot about Evander that he adjusted his schedule to remain in New York to attend our meeting.
“Luis Collazo is a terrific fighter in his own right, having been a former world champion. His career seems to be on an upswing once again and we are anxious to hear about his future plans.”
Holyfield has retired as a boxer with an outstanding 44-10-2 (29 Kos), but this past year he has operated a New York City-based promotional company, Real Deal Boxing. A U.S. Olimpski, Holyfield is the only unified world cruiserweight champion, as well as a four-time heavyweight champion of the world.

Connecticut Boks Hall of Fame Razreda 2017 Indukcijske kape Ocjenjivačka karijera Clarka Sammartina

Listopada. 28 na Mohegan Sun

Clark Sammartino

Uncasville, Conn. (Listopad 19, 2017, 2017) – Ulazak u Kuću slavnih u boksačkom Connecticutu (CBHOF) u subotu noć, Listopad 28, kao dio šestočlane klase 2017, ograničit će boksačku karijeru umirovljenog suca Clark Sammartino na 13TH Godišnji CBHOF Gala Indukcija Večera u Unkas dvorani na Mohegan Sun.
Ostali novi CBHOF-ovci su pionirski boksači “Profesor” Charles Hadley, prstenasti liječnik Doktor. Tony Alessi, sudac / sudac Dick Flaherty, boks pisac Dan Parker i suradnik boksača / boksa Hugh Devlin, Sr.
Diplomirao na Sveučilištu Brown, sada 80-godišnji Sammartino uživao je dvije druge karijere kao oralni kirurg i investicijski savjetnik u tvrtki Blue Fin u Providenceu, uz svoju ulogu međunarodnog boksačkog suca od 1985.
“Prvo sam se počeo baviti boksom jer Joey Angelo oženio moju rođakinju,” Objasnio je Sammartino. “Borio se u ranim četrdesetima. Joey se dva puta borio protiv Willieja Pepa i Sandy Saddler. To je ono što me pokrenulo. Nekad smo imali sjajne Ponedjeljak Noćne borbe u gledalištu Rhode Island i sjećam se kako sam gledao Rockyja Marciana kako se bori “Tigar” Ted Lowry tamo.”
Budući da je bio uspješan oralni kirurg, Clarku bi mogli trebati dugi vikendi da sudi borbe po cijelom svijetu. Njegova prva i najupečatljivija borba za svjetski naslov bila je Vinny Paz-Greg Haughn I. Kroz svoju dugu karijeru, Sammartino je presudio više od 400 pro borbe, uključujući 50 glavne borbe za svjetski naslov.
Popis boksača čije je borbe prosuđivao Sammartino čita se poput Tko je tko boksao tijekom prošlosti 32 godina: Mike Tyson, Oscar de la Hoya, Evander Holyfield, Julio Cesar Chavez, Johnny tapia, Naseem Hamed, Chris Eubank, Marco Antonio Barrera, Mark Johnson, Wayne McCullough, Wladimir Klitschko, Gennady Golovkin, Anthony Joshua, Sergej Kovalev, Bernard Hopkins, Juan Manuel Lopez, Nonito Donaire, Acelino Freitas, Ivan Calderon, Felix Trinidad, Tommy Morrison i još mnogo toga.
Sammartino, koji s ponosom kaže da nikada nije propustio ni jedan dan rada u 40 godina, odlučio se povući, iako će do kraja života ostati ljubitelji boksa. “Počeo sam usporavati u svojim godinama, izvođenje lokalnih emisija i možda tri ili četiri borbe za svjetski naslov godišnje, uglavnom WBO i IBF,” Primijetio je Sammartino. “Imao sam tešku borbu s upalom pluća u prošlosti 5-6 mjeseci i to je otežavalo rad.”
Njegova CBHOF uvođenje prikladan je kraj i ogromno priznanje Sammartinu i njegovoj karijeri u boksu. “Ponižen sam što sam primljen u Kuću slavnih boksa u Connecticutu,” rekao je. “Ovo je sjajan način da završim karijeru.”
Ograničene karte za CBHOF 13th godišnja Gala večera Indukcija, razumno cijene na $90.00, još uvijek možete kupiti pozivom Kim Baker na Mohegan Sun(1.860.862.7377) ili Sherman Kajin u Manchester Journal Inquirer (1.800.237.3606 X321).

Featherweight prospect Toka Kahn-Clary To headline his first show Oct. 19 in Atlanta

Ostavite komentar
(L-R) – Voditelj trener Petar Manfreda, Sestra, featherweight prospect Toka Kahn-Clary,. Mentor Dan Crotty and adviser Seth DeRobbio
PROVIDENCE, RI (Listopad 5, 2017) – Featherweight prospect Toka “T Nice” Kahn-Clary (22-1, 15 Kos) will headline his fist show Subota noć, Listopad 19 at Georgia Freight Depot in Atlanta, promoted by Hall-of-Famer Evander Holyfield‘s Real Deal Sports & Upravljanje, in a 10-round bout against Braulio “Kid” Rodriguez for the vacant World Boxing Council (WBC) Continental Americas featherweight title.
The once-beaten, Liberia-born Kahn-Clary, boreći se Providnosti (RI). is coming off an impressive eight-round unanimous decision this past June against Angel Luna (11-2-1) in Louisville.
“I very happy about fighting in my first main event,” the popular 25-year-old Kahn-Clary said. “I’m going to put on a show to let everybody know who I am. I’m very excited to be fighting for my first pro title. A victory will put me in the top 15 u svijetu, as well as make me more marketable and better known in boxing.”
Kahn-Clary was a decorated amateur boxer, compiling an outstanding 131-11 record and collecting numerous medals at national tournaments, highlighted by him capturing a gold medal at the 2010 U.S. National Golden Globes Championships. He was also a silver medalist at the 2009 National Golden Gloves Championships and 2011 U.S. Nacionalnih prvenstava, in addition to being bronze medalist at the 2012 U.S. Nationals Championships.
Rodriguez (19-2, 17 Kos), who was the WBC super featherweight champion two years ago, is a heavy-handed, battle-tested Dominican. He will be fighting in the United States for the first time as a professional.
“He’s a tough kid who, Mislim, should be 20-1 because I watched his last fight and he should have gotten the decision (LSDEC8 to 12-0-1 Alberto Mercado in Puerto Rico),” Kahn-Clary noted. “He’s very awkward and fights in spurts. I need to be smart and use my experience.”
Kahn-Clary vs. Rodriguez, is somewhat of a crossroads fight with career-critical future implications for both fighters with the winner advancing to the next level, while the loser could become a permanent opponent.

“This is the big fight for Toka,” his advisor Seth DeRobbio explained. “I think it’ll be a good fight. His opponent is a big puncher with 17 knockouts u 19 pobjeda. Toka has an opportunity to showcase his talents in a main event for the first time. Stopping a guy like this who has never been knocked out can be huge for Toka.

“Everything depends on this fight. U svojoj posljednjoj borbi, the opponent kept coming forward and that didn’t allow Toka to showcase all his skills. It’s difficult boxing as you back up, but Toka proved that he can fight like that if needed. All Toka’s skills will be on display this fight. It’s a great opportunity for him.”
Kahn-Clary vs. Rodriguez was originally slated to be held September 30 in Louisville, but venue issues forced the postponement and subsequent relocation to Atlanta.
“I was upset that the fight was pushed back only because my weight was on point,” Kahn-Clary admitted,” but fighters need to adjust in and out of the ring and everything is good. Some good came out of it, iako. I found more video of my opponent to watch, and additional training and sparring helps, previše.”
“The postponement actually helps us,” DeRobbio added. “It gives us three additional weeks to train to prepare for the biggest fight of Toka’s life. At this stage of his career every fight for Toka from here on out will be his biggest fight of his career.”
