“This is such a good feeling. I came here but could have ended up anywhere. I’m truly blessed to be in Providence and have these great fans. У мене є відмінна команда позаду мене. I want to fight the best to be the best, it’s the only way to make money and be recognized. Я готовий до будь-якого!”
The American debut of undefeated Italian cruiserweight Fabio “Stone Crusher” Turchi (13-0, 11 КО) was a clinic in last night’s co-featured event against Demetrius Banks (9-4, 4 КО), Детройт. Turchi patiently applied constant pressure, methodically breaking down the game Banks and hurting his opponent with a flurry of punches in the third round. The end came when Banks failed to answer the bell for round five.
“Я дуже щасливий,” Turchi remarked after the fight. “This was so emotional for me because it was the first time I fought in front of Evander. I’m happy with my performance but I think I could have done better”.
“I felt the heat from the Italian-American fans and I thank them for helping me sustain. I also want to thank The Real Deal Boxing. My next fight will be Лютого 2 at home in Florence, for the European Union title.”

Local favorite Нік DeLomba (12-2, 2 КО), representing nearby Cranston, Род-Айленд, pleased his supportive crowd, registering a hard-fought victory by way of an eight-round unanimous decision versus Bronx junior welterweight Louis Cruz (12-4, 6 КО) за вакантний Загальної федерації боксу (UBF) junior welterweight title. Cruz was penalized a one-point deduction in the fourth round for a low blow. Рахунки були 79-72 і 78-73 двічі.
Two-time New England Golden Gloves champion Тіммі Рамос (4-0-2, 4 КО), fighting out of Framingham, Массачусетс, залишався непереможним, but he fought a four-round split draw with Worcester, MA junior lightweight Філ Девіс (1-1-1) in an entertaining give-and-take contest. Рахунки були 39-37 і 38-38 двічі.
Philadelphia welterweight Poindexter “Дикун” лицар (1-0, 1 КО), a 2017 Національний Золоті рукавички чемпіона, had an auspicious pro debut, trapping Samuel Forjoe (0-2) in the corner right after the first bell. The gifted southpaw, a prized prospect for fans to keep an eye on, unloaded ten unanswered punches until referee Danny Schiavone halted the action at 1:03 в першому раунді.

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 П'ятниця 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 в п'ятницю night you’ll see the most competitive fights in Providence in many years.”
Евандер Холіфілд: “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, що ще більш важливо, they need to believe in themselves. I can give them advice because I’ve done it. I’m on their side.”
Тока Кан Кларі-: “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. Я щасливий бути тут. 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 1вулиця. 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, Нік DeLomba & Тіммі Рамос:
“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 противник, setting up a 2018 to be a big year for him. З надією, we’ll be bringing something very big to Providence, занадто. You won’t know who is going to win П'ятниця night until the fights are over.”
Пітер Манфредо, 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.”
Нік 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. Я прийшов, щоб боротися. My opponent is a tough fighter who’ll bring his best.”

WORKOUT QUOTES
Евандер Холіфілд, Зала Слави, 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. Всі по-іншому, 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) “Зараз, I’m fighting for my family, not just Toka anymore.”
“Я почуваю себе добре. 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.”
Пітер Манфредо, Sr., Головний тренер Кану мускатного в: “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.”
Нік 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, сподіваюся, get me to the next level, in TV fights against bigger names.”

НЬЮ-ЙОРК (Листопад 15, 2017)) – Зала Слави Евандер “Real Deal” Холіфілд and former world welterweight champion Луїс Кольясо will be special guest speakers at Ring 8’s next monthly meeting,Вівторок ніч, Листопад 21, at O’Neill’s Restaurant (64-21 53ї Drive) in Maspeth, Нью-Йорк,
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,” Кільце 8 президент Джек Хірш сказав. “Так, 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. Замість, 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 КО), but this past year he has operated a New York City-based promotional company, Real Deal Boxing. A U.S. Олімпієць, Holyfield is the only unified world cruiserweight champion, as well as a four-time heavyweight champion of the world.
He had a 16-7-2 record in world title fights and won 19 з 30 fights with two draws against past or present world champions, defeating a Who’s Who list of all-time greats such as Dwight Muhammad Qawi, Джордж Форман, Ларрі Холмс, Ріддік Боу і Майк Тайсон (двічі), серед більш знаті.
Born in Brooklyn and now a resident of Queens, Кольясо (37-7. 20 КО) captured the World Boxing Association (WBA) welterweight world title on April 2, 2005, winning a 12-round split decision over hometown favorite and defending champion Хосе Антоніо Рівера в Вустере, Массачусетс.
The 26-year-old Collazo, who has also defeated world champions Miguel Angel Gonzalez і Віктор Ортіс, remains a world title contender having upset 21-1 Семмі Васкес in his last action by way of a sixth-round knockout last February.

Featherweight prospect Toka Kahn-Clary To headline his first show Oct. 19 в Атланті

Залишити коментар
(L-Р) – Головний тренер Пітер Манфредо, Старший, featherweight prospect Toka Kahn-Clary,. Mentor Dan Crotty and adviser Seth DeRobbio
Провіденс, Род-Айленд (Жовтень 5, 2017) – Featherweight prospect Тока “T Nice” Кан-Кларі (22-1, 15 КО) will headline his fist show Субота ніч, Жовтень 19 at Georgia Freight Depot in Atlanta, promoted by Hall-of-Famer Евандер Холіфілд‘s Real Deal Sports & Управління, in a 10-round bout against Брауліо “Дитина” Родрігес for the vacant World Boxing Council (WBC) Continental Americas featherweight title.
The once-beaten, Liberia-born Kahn-Clary, борються з Провіденс (Род-Айленд). is coming off an impressive eight-round unanimous decision this past June against Ангел Місяць (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 в світі, 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. Національні чемпіонати, in addition to being bronze medalist at the 2012 U.S. Nationals Championships.
Родрігес (19-2, 17 КО), 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, Я думаю, 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. Родрігес, 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 заглушки в 19 перемог. 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. У своєму останньому бою, 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, хоча. I found more video of my opponent to watch, and additional training and sparring helps, теж.”
“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.”
