PROVIDENCE (मई 18, 2016)) – Undefeated blue-chip featherweight prospect Toka “टी-नाइस” Kahn-Clary (17-0, 11 KOS) continues to show improvement in each and every fight. Last weekend, the 23-year-old Liberia-native knocked out seasoned veteran ओर्लान्डो Rizo (19-7) in the fourth round at Sportsman Lodge in Studio City, क्यालिफोर्निया.
Kahn-Clary, प्रोविडेन्स बाहिर लडिरहेका, may still be flying under the radar but he’s getting closer to becoming a breakout star. His most recent fight was his first scheduled 10-rounder.
“I put in a lot of hard roadwork, running seven miles a day, र (his head trainer) Peter (Manfredo, सीनियर.) really pushed me,” Kahn-Clary talked about preparing for his last fight. I got some good work from Javier Fortuna, sparring him a few times, and he’s a good southpaw.
“I wasn’t looking for a knockout but it just happened. I stepped left and threw a left. I didn’t load up but it was accurate, hitting him right on his chin. I was happy to get the knockout but I was looking forward to getting in some more rounds.”
“Nothing Toka does really surprises me because I’ve known since the beginning that he’s special,” Manfredo commented. “Toka continues to improve with each fight and he’s hungry to get to the next level. There’s no rush, he doesn’t turn 24 to next year. He’s still maturing. The kid he knocked out was Nicolas Walters’ main sparring partner.
“I just don’t want to put him in with the big names just yet. He’s maturing but he’s not all the way there. He’s improving all of the time, putting his combinations together better each fight. I’ve also noticed that he’s nice and relaxed in the ring now. He’s becoming a good boxer who always had power. Top Rank is doing a great job moving him. Everybody’s happy.”
 एक थियो जो एक सजाया अमेरिकी शौकिया 131-11 रेकर्ड, यो एक सुन-पदक प्रदर्शन गरेर हाइलाइट 2010 राष्ट्रीय स्वर्ण पन्जा प्रतियोगिताको, Kahn-Clary को बनाउन एक शट मा पारित 2016 U.S. Olympic Boxing Team to turn pro three years ago.
“I’ve been boxing 10 अब वर्ष,” Kahn-Clary added. “Knowing what I’ve already accomplished, I also realize that I’m still improving. I’ll be back in the gym सोमबार to get ready for the next call we get about my next fight. (Top Rank’s) ब्राड Goodman is one of the best matchmakers in boxing. He and everybody at Top Rank are doing a great job positioning me for a big opportunity. That may not happen this year but, hopefully, it will sometime next year. I’m boxing so much better now than I ever did. I used to fight like I was in a fog but, अब, my eyes are wide open.”
Not bad for a kid who left his mother and siblings in Liberia when he was six, only to have his father murdered a year after he arrived in the United States. He’s overcome many difficult obstacles in his young life, most of them tougher than any opponents he’ll every fight, including a stretch in which he was homeless. It’s only made him tougher and an even better overall person.

Toka’s arduous journey continued as he and his sister moved to Providence, तिनीहरूले पालुङ्गो आमाबाबुले संग बस्थे कहाँ गर्ने, खुलस्त, तिनीहरूलाई के भयो ख्याल गरेन.
