The broadcast team includes Jim “JR” Ross, Sean Wheelock ug kanhi world champion Kevin “The Flushing Flash” Kelley. Joe Martinez is the ring announcer.
Claggett vs. Van Heerden is a crossroads fight for both boxers with critical consequences, especially for the winner who will use it as an invaluable springboard for his boxing career.
The 26-year-old Claggett (23-3-1, 16 KOs), who is the reigning Canadian Professional Boxing Council and Canadian welterweight champion, is thrilled to be fighting in Las Vegas for the first time. “Kini usa ka damgo nga ang tinuod nga,” he explained. “I’ve trained in Las Vegas often but now it’s time to show what I can do there in a fight.

VIDEO PROMO LINK:
Claggett, as well as Van Heerden, are known as high-action fighters, throwing punches in bunches, and something eventually has to give. Van Heerden (23-1-1, 12 KOs), fighting out of Santa Monica (SAMA), is a former International Boxing Organization (IBO) ug International Boxing Federation (IBF) welterweight champion.
“Van Heerden is a rangy, quick and active fighter,” Claggett said. “I have an action style but, for many years, I was strictly a pressure fighter with a good body shot. Karong panahona, bisan, I have a couple of more tricks up my sleeve. His heart and durability have been shown and is to be respected. This match-up is sure to produce some good exchanges. I expect this to be a high-action fight between two hungry fighters with him coming off a loss (to unbeaten rising star Errol Spence Jr. kaniadtong Septyembre) and me coming off more than one fight falling through. This is a great match up. He is similar to the style of (Konstantin)Ponomarev (who Claggett lost an 8-round decision to last year) with range and movement. And that motivates me!”
 Undefeated Lancaster, California welterweight Neeco “Rooster” Macias (11-0, 4 KOs) magtigum Limberth “Kilat” Ponce, Jr. (10-2, 8 KOs), of Rock Island, Illinois, in the 8-round co-feature.

Undefeated prospect Toka Kahn-Clary Returns to ring this Saturday night vs. Gabino Cota in Studio City, California
CRANSTON, RI(Pebrero 8, 2016) – Rising super featherweight star Toka “T-Nice” Kahn-Clary(17-0, 11 KOs) returns to action this Saturday night against Mexican opponent Gabino “Flash” Cota (18-5-1, 16 KOs) at Sportsman Lodge in Studio City, California. A decorated American amateur boxer (131-11 nga rekord), his career highlighted by a gold-medal performance at the 2010 National Golden gwantes Tournament, Kahn-Clary is a native of Liberia who passed on a shot to make the 2016 U.S. Olympic Boxing Team, milingi pro tulo ka tuig na ang milabay.
Kahn-Clary’s impressive second-round stoppage of Sergio “Cuatito” Lopez (19-10-1, 13 KOs) last November was supposed to lead him graduating to a 10-round fighter. His promoter Top Rank’s show karong Sabado, nga bidahan ni Alex Saucedo vs. Clarence Booth, doesn’t have a single 10-round fight, in favor of three 8-rounders including Kahn-Clary vs. Cota.
“That really doesn’t matter to me,” Kahn-Clary said. “I trained to beat this guy, not how many rounds. I’m a lot better fighter than I was a year ago. I’m a lot more relaxed in the ring. I think more as I’m moving in the ring, adjusting a lot better, and my combinations are coming out a lot better.”
A former WBC FECOMBOX and Mexican featherweight champion, Cota is a dangerous opponent who has knocked out 16 sa 18 fighters he’s defeated as a professional.
“Cota may have lost four of his last six but they were all title fights or on television against name opponents,” Kahn-Clary sa ulo ni trainer Pedro Manfredo, Sr. nakita. “He has some pop, throws a zillion punches and just keeps coming forward. This is a good step up for Toka.
“Toka is ready for this fight. He’s had a lot of good sparring. Toka is aggressive, well-conditioned, a good defensive fighter who can crack. There wasn’t a 10-round fight available on this card but we wanted this fight. Toka’s still only 23 so there’s no reason to rush things.”
Cota is battle tested having fought world title challengerSi Jonathan Oquendo, Puerto Rican Olympian Orlando Cruzand Russian champion Andrey Klimov.
“I like fighting guys that come to me like Cota,” Kahn-Clary remarked. “It makes my job easier. I can setup my punches and fights against guys like this aren’t as much as a chess match. I’ll be landing hard shots and fans like that better than a chess match.”

Undefeated paglaom Toka Kahn-Clary Graduwado ngadto sa 10-round fighter
-sa tanan nga mga mga hulagway maayong kabubut-on sa Mikey Williams / Top Rank-
CRANSTON, RI (Nobyembre 25, 2015) – After his impressive second-round stoppage of Sergio “Cuatito” Lopez (19-10-1, 13 KOs) sa miaging Biyernes sa gabii sa Ang Cosmopolitan sa Las Vegas, undefeated asul nga-chip featherweight paglaom Toka “T-Nice” Kahn-Clary (17-0, 11 KOs) opisyal migraduwar gikan sa usa ka walo ka ngadto sa napulo-ka-round fighter.
“”Ang akong performance maayo,” Kahn-Clary looked back on his knockout of Lopez. “I didn’t do anything to make it a difficult fight. I was a little concerned that my opponent came in overweight (128 lbs. kontrata gibug-aton apan Lopez gitimbang 132.2 lbs.), but I didn’t think too much of it. I really wanted to go four or five rounds for some more experience, apan ako gibutang siya sa ikaduhang round uban sa usa ka matarung nga hook, ug gikuha siya sa gawas. (Lopez dili makahimo sa pagtubag sa kampana alang sa ikatulo nga round.)

“Ako siguradong andam alang sa 10-rounders. (Ulo trainer) Pedro (Manfredo, Sr.) kanunay kanako sa pagbuhat sa usa ka daghan sa conditioning buhat. Kami sparred sa usa ka daghan sa mga rounds alang sa walo ka-round away, so I’ve been ready for 10-round fights. I won’t be fighting again until next year, apan ako nga balik sa gym sa sunod Lunes.”
Usa ka bugkosan American amateur nga may usa ka 131-11 nga rekord, nagpasiugda sa usa ka bulawan nga-medal performance sa 2010 National Golden gwantes Tournament, Kahn-Clary miagi sa usa ka shot sa paghimo sa 2016 U.S. Olympic Boxing Team, milingi pro tulo ka tuig na ang milabay.

“Akong hunahuna Toka naghimo sa usa ka daku nga pamahayag ug ingon man gibuhat ni Top Rank (Kahn-Clary ni promoter),” Manfredo added. “They’re so high on him that they want to put him in a big fight. I told them to give us a 10-round fight first, tingali sa Enero o sa Pebrero, and then we can talk about him fighting a top guy. Wala’y pagdali; siya lamang 23.
“Toka’s really maturing. He still doesn’t have ‘man strength’ but he’s getting there. He always works hard. He spars hard with bigger guys. He doesn’t just beat up a sparring partner, siya gibunalan sa gym, three or four fighters a session. And most of the time he’s sparring bigger guys and using big gloves.”
Natawo sa Liberia, the 23-year-old Kahn-Clary is a rising star with lofty expectations. “Gusto ko nga sa makigkompetensiya sa ibabaw nga lebel,” he explained. “Sunod tuig, I will keep working hard and hopefully fight some decent named opponents. I’m not ready for the top guys in my division, wala pa, apan ako didto sa laing tuig.”

Providence (Nobyembre 16, 2015) — Undefeated featherweight paglaom Toka “T-Nice” Kahn-Clary (16-0, 10 KOs) mahimo nga ang labing maayo nga, medyo “wala mailhi” prizefighter sa nasud, sa labing menos sa gawas sa New England.
Usa ka bugkosan American amateur nga may usa ka 131-11 nga rekord, nagpasiugda sa usa ka bulawan nga-medal performance sa 2010 National Golden gwantes Tournament, Kahn-Clary mobalik sa singsing karong Sabado sa gabii (Nov. 20) sa Ang Cosmopolitan sa Las Vegas batok sa Mexican nga kaaway Sergio “Cuatito” Lopez (19-9-1, 13 KOs) sa unsa ang gituohan nga mahimo Kahn-Clary sa katapusan nga nga nakatakda nga walo-ka-round bout sa wala pa siya graduates ngadto sa 10-rounders.
“Siya usa ka tough Mexican fighter kinsa ang kahon sa usa ka gamay nga sa gawas,” Kahn-Clary misulti mahitungod sa iyang sunod nga kontra, “apan siya moabut sa unahan, usab. Siya batid nga ug nga sa uban sa usa ka daghan sa mga maayo nga mga kaaway.”
Lopez mao ang usa ka seryoso nga pagsulay alang sa bisan unsa nga paglaom. His last three fights include a loss to 18-0 Alejandro Luna (KO4) niini nga sa miaging Agosto, 10-round nga split decision sa 24-7-1 Joksan Hernandez, ug ang usa ka makabungog ikalima-round technical knockout sa 16-0 Victor Betancourt.
“Lopez mao ang usa ka gamer,” Kahn-Clary sa ulo ni trainer Pedro Manfredo, Sr. dugang pa. He’s tough but our plan is for Toka to take him apart and eventually take him out. Toka’s not far away from a really big fight, tingali 8-10 mga bulan. We were offered a big fight but, kita kinahanglan nga sa usa ka 10-round away una, ug siya og nga away sa sayo sa sunod tuig.”
Kahn-Clary, away gikan sa Providence, ang pag-abut sa iyang labing inila nga kadaugan ingon sa usa ka propesyonal nga sa miaging Hunyo, nga siya milakaw sa klase sa pagkuha sa 33-11 Si Jonathan Perez, ang kanhi Colombian super bantamweight ug World Boxing Council (WBC) champion. Kahn-Clary stopped Perez in the sixth round of their fight on a card headlined by Timothy BradleySa interim kalibutan welterweight title modaog sa Jessie Vargas sa StubHub Center sa Carson, California.
Ang 23-ka-tuig-ang panuigon, nga natawo Toka Kahn, will never face obstacles in the ring more difficult to overcome than his early life experiences. Now a blue-chip prospect, he was born in Liberia and came to America with his younger sister to join their father when he was only six. He lived in Philadelphia only one year before his father was killed in a shooting. Toka’s arduous journey continued as he and his sister moved to Providence, diin sila nagpuyo uban sa foster mga ginikanan nga, prangka, wala sa pag-atiman kon unsay nahitabo kanila.
Ang tanan nga mga ilhanan ug gitudlo ngadto sa Toka pagkuha sa kasamok sa Providence kadalanan ingon sa usa ka batan-on, ilabina sa mga panahon, sa diha nga siya walay puy-anan. Maayo na lang, bisan, usa ka higala nga nagdala kaniya ngadto sa Manfredo ni Gym sa Pawtuckert, RI. Boxing truly saved his life. Manfredo, USA Boxing New England presidente sa Jim Perella ug ang magtiayon nga sa ngadto-ngadto gisagop siya, Andrea Watson ug Ron Clary, mahinuklugong nakapausab sa iyang kinabuhi.
Kahn-Clary mipirma sa usa ka promotional contract sa Top Rank, nga, uban sa manager Mike Criscio ug Manfredo, mibalhin Kahn-Clary sa usa ka makanunayong, ngadto sa itaas nga dagan. Kahn-Clary, incidentally, nga nakig-away sa ikatulong higayon niini nga tuig, human sa lima ka sa miaging tuig.
 “Top Rank nga gibuhat sa usa ka maayo nga trabaho sa pagtuman sa ako busy,” southpaw Kahn-Clary commented. “I know that it takes time to climb the ladder and I still need to improve a few things. I need to beat a top fighter to get into the world rankings. I’ll be ready when I get that call.“Ako andam na karon alang sa usa ka 10 o 12 round away. I’ve done a lot of sparring to help me get ready to step up. I’m excited about fighting 10 ug 12 round fights because it’ll be a test for me and I love to be test. The top guys in my division are the (Gary) Russell, (Maluyal) Lomachenkoug (Lion) Santa Cruz. I have the skills and heart to compete with them.”
Quality sparring sa New England mao ang sa usa ka premium, ilabi na alang sa usa ka mas gamay nga gibug-aton-fighter sama Kahn-Clary, nga nakaangkon bililhon nga kasinatian sparring sa WBA super featherweightJavier Fortuna (29-0-1, 21 KOs), tulo ka higayon nga US Olympian Rau'shee Warren ug ang iyang mga kauban sa Bag-ong England ug higala, New Haven’s Luis “KO Hari” Rosa (21-0, 10 KOs).
“Pedro (Manfredo) ug kanako pagbiyahe ngadto sa Worcester (MA) ug Connecticut sa pagkuha sa maayo nga buhat,” the gifted boxer-puncher Toka-Kahn explained. “It’s been a great help for me. I’ve gotten a lot of valuable experience in there with fighters like Fortuna and Warren. Akong nakita ang ilang mga singsing generalship, ang ilang mga kalihukan, and I’ve learned from them. They’re smart. I’ve learned from them, even try to copy them. It’s not just about sparring, nga mao ang usa ka pagkat-on nga kasinatian. Kon dili makakat-on gikan sa sparring, sa tanan nga inyong walay katapusan nga mao ang usa ka sparring partner.”
Manfredo nga sa palibot ug siya nakaamgo nga ang iyang ganti sa mga estudyante, Kahn-Clary, will need to go away to training camp for good sparring when he starts fighting 10-rounders. “Ko sa maayo nga mga higala uban sa Freddie Roach ug kita moadto ngadto sa California ug pagbansay sa Wild Card Gym,” Manfredo concluded. “I’m very happy with the way Toka’s been moved. I have faith in Brad Goodman, nga mao ang usa sa mga labing maayo nga, if not the best matchmaker in the world. They’ve moved Toka along at a good pace. They know what they’re doing.”
Samtang sa laing bahin, Toka Kahn-Clary plans to make his name in boxing next year. Una, bisan, siya sa pagkuha sa nangagi Lopez karong Sabado gabii sa pagbantay sa iyang kakusog na.
