Perfect connection Gilberto“Zurdo” Ramirez & Trainer Julian Chua
LAS VEGAS (Май 25, 2021) – Back in February of 2019, World Boxing Организация (WBO) Super Middleweight ChampionGilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez had made a decision to move up to fight in the light heavyweight division, and he was searching for a new head trainer.
Ramirez (41-0, 27 Нокаута) immediately connected with a then 28-year-oldJulian Chua, a former amateur boxer who had been training boxers atФреди Роуч’s famed Wildcard Boxing Club in Hollywood, California. “Zurdo” and Chua are now 2-0 (2 Нокаута) and preparing for a mega-fought later this year, ideally, against undefeated World Boxing Association (WBA) Super Light Heavyweight ChampionДмитрий Биволъ (17-0, 11 Нокаута).
How Ramirez ended up with Chua as he head trainer isn’t a typical boxing story. After all, “Zurdo” was the first Mexican world super middleweight champion, спортни а 29-0 про рекорд, and only 27 when they first met.
Ramirez’ manager, David Suh, conducted a search to hire Ramirez’ chief second. He had a list that included some of the top trainers in the industry, as well as a young, relatively unknown – at least outside of southern California – in Chua.
“I don’t know how I got on that list,” a humble Chua said. “There was going to be a tryout of sorts to determine who would work with ‘Zurdo.’ We trained together in Long Beach (where Ramirez was training) and then I met with David for coffee. He asked if I was interested in becoming the head trainer. We trained together a little more. He liked the way I trained, and we got along well. I texted David saying we liked working together and that I was interested in becoming his head trainer.
“We clicked right away, and we learned things about each other and how we liked to train. I study a lot and do a lot of research of how he had been trained, because I wanted to help him to improve. I was getting four fighters ready in LA and “Zurdo” couldn’t go there for sparring. I said I couldn’t leave these fighters and go to Santa Barbara. “Zurdo” respected me even more for not jumping ship from those four fighters for a better opportunity. We still wanted to work with each other, and ‘Zurdo’ made it work. I went to Long Beach twice a week, he came to Wildcard three times.”
Ramirez won his light heavyweight debut April 12, 2019, когатоTommy Karpency (29-6-1) не можеше да продължи след четири кръга, followed last December 18тата с 10тата round stoppage ofАлфонсо Лопес (32-3) to capture the North American Boxing Federation (NABF) заглавие.
Chua was trained by Roach when he was an amateur from Indiana, but when Chua started at Wildcard, Roach’s assistantЕрик Браун became Chua’s mentor. During his training career atWildcard West Boxing, known now as Churchill Boxing in Santa Barbara, Chua has trained several world champions in boxing and MMA.
The 29-year-old Ramirez, who recently signed an exclusive promotional contract withOscar De La Hoya’s Golden Boy Promotions, в момента е класиран №. 3 by the WBA and WBO. “Zurdo” returns to action July 9тата in Los Angeles againstSullivan Барера (22-3, 14 Нокаута).
Whether it’s Bivol, or the other world light heavyweight champions — Артур Бетербиев иДжо Смит – “Zurdo” and Chua are preparing to beat the best for Ramirez to wear the coveted World championship crown in a second division.

World featherweight contender Toka Kahn-Clary heads to Hollywood To work with Freddie Roach
(L-R) – Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach, Toka “T-Ница” Kahn-Clary & manager Seth DeRobbio
|
PROVIDENCE, RI (Април 22, 2018) – World-rated featherweight Toka “T Nice” Kahn-Clary(24-1, 17 Нокаута) has graduated from prospect to world contender. To fully develop, Kahn-Clary recently shifted his training camp from the smallest state in the country, Rhode Island, to the second-largest city in America, Los Angeles, where he has started working with Hall of Fame trainer Фреди Роуч.
Fighting out of Providence (RI), Kahn-Clary made the six-week move to Roach’s famed Wild Card Boxing Club to receive fine tuning from Roach, avoid any potential distractions at home, and have an opportunity for world-class sparring sessions.
The chemistry was there right away between Roach and Kahn-Clary. After his first day working with Kahn-Clary, Roach said the following: “Today was a very good day. Toka has great ring-generalship, footwork and speed. I was impressed.”
“Freddie is very precise,” Kahn-Clary reported after a few days with New England native Roach. “Sometimes I get a little lazy on the ropes. Do Not, не, not with him. I wanted to prove right away that I listen. We were working on the pads and Freddie said, ‘You’re not as dumb as you look.’ I thought that was cool coming from him and took it as a compliment. He’s working on me being in total control in the ring. I’m not really going to learn anything too new from him, but it always helps to add a new move here and there. He saw that I’m fast and work the angles. He’s not changing my style, just sharpening my tools.
“When there is sparring, the gym is packed with fighters from 122 pounds up to heavyweight. Not just two or three, but a whole lot of guys, and the competition between everyone is great We’re working on my next opponent. Точно сега, I’m just preparing for my next fight, and then we can focus on my opponent when we know who that will be.”
Toka-Kahn’s remarkable life story started in his native Liberia, where he knew very little about his real mother as a child, or how many siblings he has in his family. When his father moved to the United States and in 1998, six-year-old Toka Kahn and his younger sister joined him there in Philadelphia.
.
Баща му, въпреки че, was later shot to death, leaving Toka and his sister alone. В 2000, they moved to Providence (RI) to live with a family that, откровено, didn’t really care what happened to them. All signs led to him falling in with the wrong crowd and getting into serious trouble. He was homeless for a while but, fortunately, he found boxing and that became his salvation.
Saved the day his friend first took him to Manfredo’s Gym in Pawtucket, RI, when boxing trainer Peter Manfredo, Sr., USA Boxing/New England president Джим Perella и двойката, която в крайна сметка го прие, Andrea Watson и Рон Clary, all became key parts of Toka’s dramatically changed life.
No matter the weather, including snow and freezing conditions, Toka always rode his bike seven miles each way to the gym from his residence, which didn’t even have electricity. He never told anybody, never complained. Един ден, Andrea told the quiet, private kid in the gym that Christmas was coming, and she had a present for him – an extra bedroom. He was adopted and proudly changed his name to Toka Kahn-Clary.
A украсена аматьор боксьор, who registered a 131-11 рекорд, Kahn-Clary collected numerous medals at national tournaments, съчетано с невероятна производителност златен медал на 2010 U.S. Националните Златни ръкавици първенства. He was also a silver medalist at the 2009 National Golden Gloves Championships and 2011 U.S. Национално първенство, as well as a bronze medalist at the 2012 U.S. Nationals Championships.
Kahn-Clary arrived in LA on April 16 and he will remain there until May 25. “At this point in his career,” Toka’s manager Seth DeRobbio обясни, “he had to make this move to position himself for a world title shot. There’s no quality sparring in New England in his weight class. Freddie is one of the best, if not the best trainer in boxing. Toka is going to benefit from working with Freddie. No distractions out there, всеки. Toka is going to eat, сън, wake-up, бягай, strength train and box. Това е, all boxing, 24/7.”
“I’m excited to see what my friend Freddie is going to do with one of our star fighters,” remarked Kahn-Clary’s promoter, Зала на славата Ивендър Холифийлд. “Toka is ready for anybody in the 126-pounds division and Freddie is going to bring out the best in him.”
Manfredo, Sr. remains involved in Toka’s career, working his corner with chief second Roach for his next fight, да се надяваме, Юни 2ри в Atlantic City (NJ) on his promoter’s (The Real Deal Boxing) proposed card.
“I was involved in this decision and I’ve worked with Freddie before (с Peter Manfredo, Jr.),” Manfredo, Sr. отбеляза. “It is the right move to advance his career. Toka is probably the best fighter I’ve ever trained. He’ll be away from distractions at home and get quality sparring. Freddie is a top-notch trainer, who I have nothing but admiration and respect for. Freddie will teach him more and we work well together. He’s so knowledgeable and a great guy, твърде. Freddie is a teacher and I’ll learn more as well.”
Kahn-Clary recently became a father for the first time, but he understands the sacrifice he’s making for his pro boxing career will payoff sooner rather than alter for his family.
“I talk to my daughter every day,” the affable Kahn-Clary concluded. “Thank God for technology. I facetime because she’s five months old and I don’t want her to forget my face. I don’t know how fighters used to go away to camp.”
The 25-year-old Kahn-Clary is world rated by the International Boxing Federation (#11) and World Boxing Federation (#13). In his last two fights, Kahn-Clary defeated a pair of undefeated opponents, Дейвид Берна (13-0) by way of a second-round technical knockout in Louisville (KY for the interim North American Boxing Association (Също) featherweight title, adding the NABA USNBC featherweight crown to his growing display case this past December, когато John Vincent Moralde (19-0) was unable to continue after seven rounds of punishment in Providence.
