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. “Mae wedi gwireddu breuddwyd,” he explained. “I’ve trained in Las Vegas often but now it’s time to show what I can do there in a fight.

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 (MEGIS), is a former International Boxing Organization (IBO) a Ffederasiwn Bocsio Rhyngwladol (IBF) pencampwr pwysau welter.
“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. Y dyddiau hyn, er bod, 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. fis Medi diwethaf) 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 prospect Toka Kahn-Clary Returns to ring this Saturday night vs. Gabino Cota in Studio City, California
CRANSTON, RI(Chwefror 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 cofnod), his career highlighted by a gold-medal performance at the 2010 Menig Golden Cenedlaethol Twrnamaint, Kahn-Clary is a native of Liberia who passed on a shot to make the 2016 U.S. Tîm Paffio Olympaidd, troi tair blynedd pro yn ôl.
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 dydd Sadwrn, headlined gan 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 y 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,” Pen hyfforddwr Kahn-Clary yn Peter Manfredo, Sr. Nodwyd. “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 challengerJonathan Oquendo, Puerto Rico Olympaidd 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.”

I really wanted to go four or five rounds for some more experience, ond yr wyf yn ei roi i lawr yn yr ail rownd gyda bachyn dde, a mynd ag ef allan. (Lopez oedd yn gallu ateb y gloch ar gyfer y drydedd rownd.)

“Yr wyf yn meddwl gwneud Toka ddatganiad mawr ac felly yr oedd Rank Top (Hyrwyddwr Kahn-Clary yn),” 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, efallai ym mis Ionawr neu Chwefror, and then we can talk about him fighting a top guy. There’s no rush; ei fod yn unig 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.

I ymladd Sergio Lopez dydd Sadwrn yn Las Vegas

(holl luniau gan Jeny Luna Hernandez-Watson)
PROVIDENCE (Tachwedd 16, 2015) — Gobaith pwysau plu undefeated Toka “T-Nice” Kahn-Clary (16-0, 10 Kos) Efallai fod y gorau, gymharol “anhysbys” Prizefighter yn y wlad, o leiaf y tu allan i New England.
Mae amatur Americanaidd haddurno a oedd â 131-11 cofnod, amlygwyd gan berfformiad medal aur yn y 2010 Menig Golden Cenedlaethol Twrnamaint, Kahn-Clary yn dychwelyd i'r cylch dydd Sadwrn nos (Tachwedd. 20) yn The Cosmopolitan o Las Vegas yn erbyn gwrthwynebydd Mecsicanaidd Sergio “Cuatito” Lopez (19-9-1, 13 Kos) yn yr hyn yn dybiedig i fod drefnwyd bout wyth-rownd ddiwethaf Kahn-Clary cyn iddo raddio i 10-rownderi.
“Mae e'n ymladdwr Mecsicanaidd anodd a all blwch ychydig ar y tu allan,” Siaradodd Kahn-Clary am ei wrthwynebydd nesaf, “ond mae'n dod ymlaen, hefyd. Mae'n brofiadol ac wedi bod mewn gyda llawer o wrthwynebwyr da.”
Lopez yn brawf difrifol ar gyfer unrhyw obaith. His last three fights include a loss to 18-0 Alejandro Luna (KO4) mae hyn Awst gorffennol, 10-rhaniad crwn tynnu gyda 24-7-1 Joksan Hernandez, ac un rhan o bump-rownd knockout technegol trawiadol o 16-0 Victor Betancourt.
“Lopez yn gamer,” Pen hyfforddwr Kahn-Clary yn Peter Manfredo, Sr. Ychwanegodd. 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, efallai 8-10 mis. We were offered a big fight but, mae arnom angen un frwydr 10-rownd gyntaf, ac efe a chael y frwydr yn gynnar y flwyddyn nesaf.”
Kahn-Clary, ymladd allan o Providence, yn dod oddi ar ei fuddugoliaeth fwyaf nodedig fel fis Mehefin diwethaf proffesiynol, lle'r oedd yn camu i fyny yn y dosbarth i ymgymryd â 33-11 Jonathan Perez, y cyn Pwysau Bantam super Colombia a Chyngor Bocsio Byd (CLlC) pencampwr. Kahn-Clary stopped Perez in the sixth round of their fight on a card headlined by Timothy BradleyTeitl y pwysau welter y byd dros dro 's ennill dros Jessie Vargas yn StubHub Center yn Carson, California.
Mae'r 23-mlwydd-oed, a aned 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, lle maent yn byw gyda rhieni maeth sydd, a dweud y gwir, Nid oedd gofal yr hyn ddigwyddodd iddynt.
Bydd pob arwydd yn tynnu sylw at Toka mynd mewn trafferth ar y strydoedd Providence yn ifanc, yn enwedig ar adegau, pan oedd yn ddigartref. Yn ffodus, er bod, ffrind ddaeth ag ef i Campfa Manfredo yn Pawtuckert, RI. Boxing truly saved his life. Manfredo, Lywydd UDA Bocsio Lloegr Newydd Jim Perella ac mae'r cwpl yn y pen draw a fabwysiadwyd ef, Andrea Watson ac Ron Clary, Newidiodd ei fywyd yn ddramatig.
Llofnodi Kahn-Clary gontract hyrwyddo gyda Rank Top, sy'n, ynghyd â rheolwr Mike Criscio a Manfredo, wedi symud Kahn-Clary mewn gyson, cyflymder i fyny. Kahn-Clary, gyda llaw, Bydd yn ymladd am y trydydd tro eleni, ar ôl cael pum mlynedd ddiwethaf.
 “Rank Top wedi gwneud gwaith da cadw mi brysur,” 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.“Rwy'n barod ar hyn o bryd ar gyfer 10 neu 12 frwydr yn rownd. I’ve done a lot of sparring to help me get ready to step up. I’m excited about fighting 10 ac 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, (Wearyl) Lomachenkoac (Lion) Santa Cruz. I have the skills and heart to compete with them.”
Sparring Ansawdd yn New England yn brin, yn arbennig ar gyfer ymladdwr llai-bwysau, megis Kahn-Clary, sydd wedi ennill profiad amhrisiadwy sparring gyda WBA pwysau plu superJavier Fortuna (29-0-1, 21 Kos), tri-amser US Olympaidd Rau'shee Warren a'i gyd New England a ffrind, New Haven’s Luis “KO Brenin” Rosa (21-0, 10 Kos).
“Peter (Manfredo) ac mi deithio i Worcester (MA) ac Connecticut i gael gwaith da,” 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. Rwyf wedi gweld eu gadlywyddiaeth cylch, eu symud, 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, sy'n brofiad dysgu. Os na fyddwch yn dysgu oddi wrth sparring, i gyd byddwch chi erioed wedi bod yn bartner sparring.”
Manfredo wedi bod o gwmpas ac mae'n sylweddoli bod ei myfyrwyr wobr, Kahn-Clary, will need to go away to training camp for good sparring when he starts fighting 10-rounders. “Rwy'n ffrindiau da gyda Freddie Roach a byddwn yn mynd allan i California a hyfforddi yn y Cerdyn Gwyllt Gampfa,” Manfredo concluded. “I’m very happy with the way Toka’s been moved. I have faith in Brad Goodman, sy'n un o'r goreuon, if not the best matchmaker in the world. They’ve moved Toka along at a good pace. They know what they’re doing.”
Yn y cyfamser, Toka Kahn-Clary plans to make his name in boxing next year. Yn gyntaf, er bod, mae'n rhaid iddo fynd heibio Lopez dydd Sadwrn nos i gadw ei momentwm.
