The broadcast team includes Jim “JR” Ross, Sean Wheelock og tidligere verdensmester 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. “Det er en drøm,” he explained. “I’ve trained in Las Vegas often but now it’s time to show what I can do there in a fight. A win will open many doors for me and could potentially lead to a path that will set up the rest of my boxing life. Det er overflødigt at sige, I am focused and prepared for the opportunity.”
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 (F.EKS), is a former International Boxing Organization (IBO) og International Boxing Federation (IBF) weltervægt mester.
“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. I dag, selv, 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. last September) 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) opfylder Limberth “Lightning” 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(Februar 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 “Blitz” Cota (18-5-1, 16 KOS) at Sportsman Lodge in Studio City, California. A decorated American amateur boxer (131-11 rekord), his career highlighted by a gold-medal performance at the 2010 Nationale Golden Gloves turnering, Kahn-Clary is a native of Liberia who passed on a shot to make the 2016 US. Olympic Boxing Team, dreje pro tre år siden.
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 denne lørdag, hovednavn ved 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 af 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 hoved træner Peter Manfredo, Sr. bemærkede. “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, godt konditioneret, 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 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 udsigten Toka Kahn-Clary Kandidater til 10-round fighter
-alle billeder venligst udlånt af Mikey Williams / Top placering-
CRANSTON, RI (November 25, 2015) – After his impressive second-round stoppage of Sergio “Cuatito” Lopez (19-10-1, 13 KOS) sidste fredag aften på The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, ubesejret blue-chip fjerlette udsigten Toka “T-Nice” Kahn-Clary (17-0, 11 KOS) har officielt uddannet fra en otte til ti-round fighter.
“”Min præstation var god,” 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. kontrakt vægt, men Lopez vejet 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, men jeg satte ham ned i anden runde med en ret krog, og tog ham ud. (Lopez var i stand til at besvare bell for tredje runde.)
(L-R) Toka Kahn-Clary og dommer Jay Nady |
“Jeg er absolut klar til 10-rundbold. (Hoved træner) Peter (Manfredo, Sr.) altid har mig gøre en masse konditionering arbejde. Vi sparred en masse runder i otte-runde kampe, so I’ve been ready for 10-round fights. I won’t be fighting again until next year, men jeg vil være tilbage i gymnastiksalen næste mandag.”
En dekoreret amerikansk amatør, der havde en 131-11 rekord, fremhævet af en guld-medalje ydeevne på 2010 Nationale Golden Gloves turnering, Kahn-Clary videregivet et skud at gøre 2016 US. Olympic Boxing Team, dreje pro tre år siden.
(L-R) – Hoved træner Peter Manfredo, Sr. & Toka Kahn-Clary |
“Jeg tror Toka gjort en stor erklæring, og så gjorde Top placering (Kahn-Clary s promotor),” 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, måske i januar eller februar, and then we can talk about him fighting a top guy. There’s no rush; han er kun 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, han slår op gym, three or four fighters a session. And most of the time he’s sparring bigger guys and using big gloves.”
Født i Liberia, the 23-year-old Kahn-Clary is a rising star with lofty expectations. “Jeg ønsker at konkurrere på øverste niveau,” he explained. “Næste år, I will keep working hard and hopefully fight some decent named opponents. I’m not ready for the top guys in my division, ikke endnu, men jeg vil være der i et år.”

Ubesejret blue-chip udsigten Toka Kahn-Clary Liberia indfødte making navn i Amerika
At bekæmpe Sergio Lopez denne lørdag i Las Vegas

(Alle billeder af Jeny Luna Hernandez-Watson)
PROVIDENCE (November 16, 2015) — Undefeated fjerlette udsigten Toka “T-Nice” Kahn-Clary (16-0, 10 KOS) kan være den bedste, forholdsvis “ukendt” Prizefighter i landet, mindst uden for New England.
En dekoreret amerikansk amatør, der havde en 131-11 rekord, fremhævet af en guld-medalje ydeevne på 2010 Nationale Golden Gloves turnering, Kahn-Clary tilbage til ringen denne lørdag nat (November. 20) på The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas mod mexicanske modstander Sergio “Cuatito” Lopez (19-9-1, 13 KOS) i, hvad der formodes at være Kahn-Clary sidste planlagte otte-runde kamp, før han kandidater til 10-rundbold.
“Han er en hård mexicansk fighter, der kan bokse lidt på ydersiden,” Kahn-Clary talte om hans næste modstander, “men han kommer frem, for. Han er erfaren og har været i med en masse gode modstandere.”
Lopez er en alvorlig test for enhver udsigt. His last three fights include a loss to 18-0 Alejandro Luna (KO4) dette tidligere August, 10-rund split tegne med 24-7-1 Joksan Hernandez, og en fantastisk femte runde teknisk knockout af 16-0 Victor Betancourt.
“Lopez er en gamer,” Kahn-Clary hoved træner Peter Manfredo, Sr. tilføjet. 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, kan være 8-10 måneder. We were offered a big fight but, vi har brug for en 10-runde kamp først, og han får denne kamp i begyndelsen af næste år.”
Kahn-Clary, kæmper ud af Providence, tager plads på bænken hans mest bemærkelsesværdige sejr som professionel i juni, hvor han optrappet i klassen til at tage på 33-11 Jonathan Perez, den tidligere colombianske super bantamvægt og World Boxing Council (WBC) mester. Kahn-Clary stopped Perez in the sixth round of their fight on a card headlined by Timothy Bradley'S midlertidige verden weltervægt titel vinde over Jessie Vargas på StubHub Center i Carson, California.
Den 23-årige, der blev født 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, hvor de boede med plejeforældre, der, ærligt talt, var ligeglad med hvad der skete med dem.
Alle tegn pegede på Toka komme i problemer på Providence gaderne som ung, især på tidspunkter, da han var hjemløs. Heldigvis, selv, en ven bragte ham til Manfredo Gym i Pawtuckert, RI. Boxing truly saved his life. Manfredo, USA Boxing New England præsident Jim Perella og det par, der til sidst blev vedtaget ham, Andrea Watson og Ron Clary, dramatisk ændrede hans liv.
Kahn-Clary underskrevet en salgsfremmende kontrakt med Top placering, hvilken, sammen med leder Mike Criscio og Manfredo, har flyttet Kahn-Clary i et støt, opadgående tempo. Kahn-Clary, øvrigt, vil kæmpe for tredje gang i år, efter at have fem sidste år.
“Top placering har gjort et godt stykke arbejde at holde mig travlt,” 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.
“Jeg er lige nu klar til en 10 eller 12 runde kamp. I’ve done a lot of sparring to help me get ready to step up. I’m excited about fighting 10 og 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) Lomachenkoog (Lion) Santa Cruz. I have the skills and heart to compete with them.”
Kvalitet sparring i New England er en præmie, især for en mindre vægt kampfly såsom Kahn-Clary, der har fået uvurderlig erfaring sparring med WBA junior-letvægtJavier Fortuna (29-0-1, 21 KOS), tre-tiden amerikanske Olympian Rau'shee Warren og hans kolleger New England og ven, New Haven’s Luis “KO konge” Rosa (21-0, 10 KOS).
“Peter (Manfredo) og mig at rejse til Worcester (MA) og Connecticut for at få gode arbejde,” 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. Jeg har set deres ring generalship, deres bevægelse, 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, som er en lærerig oplevelse. Hvis du ikke lærer af sparring, alt du nogensinde være en sparringspartner.”
Manfredo har været omkring, og han indser, at hans præmie elev, Kahn-Clary, will need to go away to training camp for good sparring when he starts fighting 10-rounders. “Jeg er gode venner med Freddie Roach og vi vil gå ud til Californien og træne på Wild Card Gym,” Manfredo concluded. “I’m very happy with the way Toka’s been moved. I have faith in Brad Goodman, som er en af de bedste, if not the best matchmaker in the world. They’ve moved Toka along at a good pace. They know what they’re doing.”
I mellemtiden, Toka Kahn-Clary plans to make his name in boxing next year. Første, selv, han har til at komme forbi Lopez denne lørdag nat for at holde sit momentum.
