 LAS VEGAS (Apríl 5, 2016) – apríl 16th10-round main event between Canadian welterweight Steve “The Dragon” Claggett and South Africa-native Chris “The Heat” Van Heerden embodies the “Knockout Night at the D” philosophy in terms of featuring action fighters in evenly matched, entertaining bouts.

The apríl. 16th “Knockout Night at the D” event will air Laugardagur nótt, Apríl 16 (8 p.m. PT / 11 p.m. OG), lifa á CBS Sports Network from under the neon lights at the DLVEC outdoor venue.
The broadcast team includes Jim “JR” Ross, Sean Wheelock og fyrrum heimsmeistari 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. “Það er draumur að rætast,” 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 (EINS), is a former International Boxing Organization (IBO) og International Boxing Federation (IBF) welterweight meistari.
“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. Nú á dögum, þó, 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 prospect Toka Kahn-Clary Returns to ring this Saturday night vs. Gabino Cota in Studio City, California
CRANSTON, RI(Febrúar 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 met), his career highlighted by a gold-medal performance at the 2010 National Golden Gloves Tournament, Kahn-Clary is a native of Liberia who passed on a shot to make the 2016 Bandarískt. Olympic Boxing Team, beygja atvinnumaður þremur árum.
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 laugardag, nafnið með 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 er yfirmaður þjálfari Peter Manfredo, Sr. benti. “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 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.”

“”Flutningur minn var góður,” 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 £. Samningurinn þyngd en Lopez vega 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, en ég setti hann niður í aðra umferð með hægri krók, og tók hann út. (Lopez var ekki að svara bjöllunni fyrir þriðju umferð.)

“Ég er örugglega tilbúinn fyrir 10-rounders. (Head þjálfari) Peter (Manfredo, Sr.) alltaf hefur mér að gera mikið af ástand vinnu. Við sparred mikið umferðir fyrir átta umferð berst, so I’ve been ready for 10-round fights. I won’t be fighting again until next year, en ég kem aftur í ræktina næsta mánudag.”

“Ég held Toka gert stór yfirlýsingu og svo gerði Top Rank (Forgöngumaður Kahn-Clary er),” 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, kannski í janúar eða febrúar, and then we can talk about him fighting a top guy. There’s no rush; hann er bara 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, hann vinnur upp í ræktina, three or four fighters a session. And most of the time he’s sparring bigger guys and using big gloves.”
Fæddur í Líberíu, the 23-year-old Kahn-Clary is a rising star with lofty expectations. “Ég vil að keppa á efsta stigi,” he explained. “Næsta ár, I will keep working hard and hopefully fight some decent named opponents.

PROVIDENCE (Nóvember 16, 2015) — Undefeated featherweight horfur Toka “T-Nice” Kahn-Clary (16-0, 10 Kos) gæti verið besta, tiltölulega “óþekkt” prizefighter í landinu, að minnsta kosti utan New England.
A skreytt American áhugamaður sem hafði 131-11 met, auðkenndur með gull-Medal árangur á að 2010 National Golden Gloves Tournament, Kahn-Clary skilar hringinn laugardag nótt (Nóvember. 20) á The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas gegn Mexican andstæðingi Sergio “Cuatito” Lopez (19-9-1, 13 Kos) í hvað er ætlast til að vera síðasta áætlunarflug átta umferð lota Kahn-Clary áður en hann útskrifast 10-rounders.
“Hann er sterkur Mexican bardagamaður sem getur kassi lítið að utan,” Kahn-Clary talaði um næsta andstæðing hans, “en hann kemur fram, of. Hann er reyndur og hefur verið í með fullt af góðum andstæðingum.”
Lopez er alvarleg próf fyrir hvaða möguleika. His last three fights include a loss to 18-0 Alejandro Luna (KO4) síðasta ágúst, 10-umferð hættu draga með 24-7-1 Joksan Hernandez, og töfrandi fimmta umferð tæknilega knockout af 16-0 Victor Betancourt.
“Lopez er a leikur,” Kahn-Clary er yfirmaður þjálfari Peter Manfredo, Sr. bætt. 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, kannski 8-10 mánuðum. We were offered a big fight but, við þurfum eina 10-umferð berjast fyrst, og hann fá að berjast snemma á næsta ári.”
Kahn-Clary, berjast af Providence, er að koma af mest áberandi sigur hans sem faglegur júní sl, þar sem hann steig upp í bekknum til að taka á 33-11 Jonathan Perez, fyrrum Kólumbíu frábær bantamweight og World Boxing Council (WBC) meistari. Kahn-Clary stopped Perez in the sixth round of their fight on a card headlined by Timothy Bradley'S tímabundna heimurinn welterweight titill vinna yfir Jessie Vargas á Home Depot Center í Carson, California.
The 23-ára gamall, sem fæddist 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, þar sem þau bjuggu með fósturforeldrum sem, hreinskilnislega, ekki sama hvað gerðist þá.
Öll merki benda til Toka fá í vandræðum á Providence götum sem unglingur, sérstaklega á tímum, þegar hann var heimilislaus. Sem betur fer, þó, vinur fór með hann til Manfredo er líkamsrækt í Pawtuckert, RI. Boxing truly saved his life. Manfredo, USA Boxing New England forseti Jim Perella og hjónin að lokum samþykkt hann, Andrea Watson og Ron Clary, verulega breytt lífi hans.
Kahn-Clary undirritað kynningar samning við Top Rank, sem, ásamt stjórnanda Mike Criscio og Manfredo, hafa flutt Kahn-Clary á stöðuga, upp hraða. Kahn-Clary, tilviljun, mun vera að berjast fyrir í þriðja sinn á þessu ári, eftir að hafa fimm á síðasta ári.
 “Top Rank hefur unnið gott starf að halda mér upptekinn,” 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.“Ég er tilbúinn núna til a 10 eða 12 umferð berjast. 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, (ÞreytturÉg) Lomachenkoog (Lion) Santa Cruz. I have the skills and heart to compete with them.”
Quality sparring í New England er á yfirverði, sérstaklega fyrir minni-þyngd bardagamaður eins Kahn-Clary, sem hefur fengið ómetanlega reynslu sparring með WBA frábær featherweightJavier Fortuna (29-0-1, 21 Kos), þriggja tíma US Olympian Rau'shee Warren og hans náungi New England og vinur, New Haven’s Luis “KO konungur” Rosa (21-0, 10 Kos).
“Peter (Manfredo) og mig ferðast til Worcester (MA) og Connecticut til að fá góða vinnu,” 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. Ég hef séð hringur generalship þeirra, hreyfing þeirra, 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, sem er að læra að upplifa. Ef þú lærir ekki af sparring, allt sem þú munt aldrei vera er sparring félagi.”
Manfredo hefur verið um og hann áttar sig á að verðlaun nemanda sínum, Kahn-Clary, will need to go away to training camp for good sparring when he starts fighting 10-rounders. “Ég er góður vinur Freddie Roach og við munum fara út til Kaliforníu og þjálfa á Wild Card Líkamsrækt,” Manfredo concluded. “I’m very happy with the way Toka’s been moved. I have faith in Brad Goodman, sem er einn af the bestur, if not the best matchmaker in the world. They’ve moved Toka along at a good pace. They know what they’re doing.”
Meðan, Toka Kahn-Clary plans to make his name in boxing next year. First, þó, hann þarf að komast framhjá Lopez laugardag nótt til að halda skriðþunga hans fara.
