टैग आर्कईव: फ्रेडी रोच
Perfect connection Gilberto“Zurdo” Ramirez & Trainer Julian Chua
लास वेगास (मई 25, 2021) – Back in February of 2019, विश्व मुक्केबाजी संगठन (WBO) Super Middleweight Championगिलबर्टो "Zurdo" रामिरेज़ had made a decision to move up to fight in the light heavyweight division, and he was searching for a new head trainer.
रामिरेज़ (41-0, 27 KOs) immediately connected with a then 28-year-oldJulian Chua, a former amateur boxer who had been training boxers atफ्रेडी रोच’s famed Wildcard Boxing Club in Hollywood, California. “Zurdo” and Chua are now 2-0 (2 KOs) and preparing for a mega-fought later this year, ideally, against undefeated World Boxing Association (WBA) Super Light Heavyweight Championदिमित्री बिवोलो (17-0, 11 KOs).
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, खेल एक 29-0 pro record, और केवल 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, कबटॉमी Karpency (29-6-1) चार दौर के बाद जारी रखने में असमर्थ था, followed last December 18वें के साथ 10वें round stoppage ofAlfonso Lopez (32-3) to capture the North American Boxing Federation (NABF) शीर्षक.
Chua was trained by Roach when he was an amateur from Indiana, but when Chua started at Wildcard, Roach’s assistantEric Brown 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 withऑस्कर डी ला होया’s Golden Boy Promotions, is currently ranked No. 3 by the WBA and WBO. “Zurdo” returns to action July 9वें in Los Angeles againstसुलिवन Barrera (22-3, 14 KOs).
Whether it’s Bivol, or the other world light heavyweight champions — आर्तर Beterbiev वजो स्मिथ – “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
(एल आर) – Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach, टोका “टी नीस” क्हान-Clary & manager Seth DeRobbio
|
प्रोविडेंस, आरआई (अप्रैल 22, 2018) – World-rated featherweight टोका “T Nice” क्हान-Clary(24-1, 17 KOs) has graduated from prospect to world contender. To fully develop, Kahn-Clary recently shifted his training camp from the smallest state in the country, रोड आइलैंड, to the second-largest city in America, लॉस एंजिल्स, where he has started working with Hall of Fame trainer फ्रेडी रोच.
Fighting out of Providence (आरआई), 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. ऐसा न करें, ऐसा न करें, 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. अभी, 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.
.
उनके पिता, यद्यपि, was later shot to death, leaving Toka and his sister alone. में 2000, they moved to Providence (आरआई) to live with a family that, स्पष्ट रूप से, 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, आरआई, when boxing trainer पीटर Manfredo, सीनियर., USA Boxing/New England president जिम Perella और युगल अंततः उसे अपनाया, एंड्रिया वाटसन व रॉन 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. एक दिन, 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.
एक सजाया शौकिया बॉक्सर, who registered a 131-11 अभिलेख, Kahn-Clary collected numerous medals at national tournaments, में स्वर्ण-पदक प्रदर्शन से प्रकाश डाला 2010 यू.एस. National Golden Gloves Championships. He was also a silver medalist at the 2009 National Golden Gloves Championships and 2011 यू.एस. नेशनल चैंपियनशिप, as well as a bronze medalist at the 2012 यू.एस. 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 explained, “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, भी. Toka is going to eat, sleep, wake-up, run, strength train and box. यह बात है, 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, हॉल ऑफ फेम इवांडर होलीफील्ड. “Toka is ready for anybody in the 126-pounds division and Freddie is going to bring out the best in him.”
Manfredo, सीनियर. remains involved in Toka’s career, working his corner with chief second Roach for his next fight, उम्मीद है कि, जून 2एन डी अटलांटिक सिटी में (न्यू जर्सी) on his promoter’s (रियल डील मुक्केबाजी) proposed card.
“I was involved in this decision and I’ve worked with Freddie before (संग पीटर Manfredo, जूनियर.),” Manfredo, सीनियर. remarked. “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, बहुत. 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, David Berna (13-0) by way of a second-round technical knockout in Louisville (KY for the interim North American Boxing Association (भी) featherweight title, adding the NABA USNBC featherweight crown to his growing display case this past December, कब John Vincent Moralde (19-0) was unable to continue after seven rounds of punishment in Providence.
