LAS VEGAS (April 5, 2016) – April 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.

den april. 16th “Knockout Night at the D” event will air Lørdag natt, April 16 (8 pm. PT / 11 pm. OG), leve på CBS Sports Network from under the neon lights at the DLVEC outdoor venue.
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 som går i oppfyllelse,” 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. Needless to say, 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 (SLIK AS), is a former International Boxing Organization (IBO) og International Boxing Federation (IBF) weltervekt 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. Nå for tiden, skjønt, 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(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 “Flash” 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 Nasjonale Golden Gloves Tournament, Kahn-Clary is a native of Liberia who passed on a shot to make the 2016 US-. Olympic Boxing team, snu 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 lørdagen, headlinet av 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 av 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 hode trener Peter Manfredo, Sr. bemerket. “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.”

Ubeseiret prospekt Toka Kahn-Clary Nyutdannede til 10-runde fighter
-alle bildene courtesy of Mikey Williams / Top Rank-
CRANSTON, RI (November 25, 2015) – After his impressive second-round stoppage of Sergio “Cuatito” Lopez (19-10-1, 13 KOs) sist fredag kveld på The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, ubeseiret blue-chip fjærvekt prospektet Toka “T-Nice” Kahn-Clary (17-0, 11 KOs) har offisielt uteksaminert fra en åtte-ti-round fighter.
“”Min prestasjon 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. Kontrakten vekt, men Lopez veid 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 den andre runden med en høyre hook, og tok ham ut. (Lopez var ikke i stand til å svare på klokken for tredje runde.)

“Jeg er definitivt klar for 10-rounders. (Hode trener) Peter (Manfredo, Sr.) alltid har meg å gjøre en masse conditioning arbeid. Vi sparred mye runder for åtte-runde kamper, so I’ve been ready for 10-round fights. I won’t be fighting again until next year, men jeg vil være tilbake i gymsalen neste mandag.”
En dekorert amerikansk amatør som hadde en 131-11 rekord, markert med en gullmedalje ytelse på 2010 Nasjonale Golden Gloves Tournament, Kahn-Clary gått på en sjanse til å gjøre det 2016 US-. Olympic Boxing team, snu pro tre år siden.

“Jeg tror Toka gjort en stor uttalelse, og det gjorde Top Rank (Kahn-Clary sin 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, kanskje i januar eller februar, and then we can talk about him fighting a top guy. There’s no rush; han er bare 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 opp på treningsstudio, 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 å konkurrere på øverste nivå,” he explained. “Neste 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 enda, men jeg vil være der i et år.”

Ubeseiret blue-chip-prospektet Toka Kahn-Clary Liberia innfødte making navn i Amerika
Å kjempe Sergio Lopez denne lørdagen i Las Vegas

PROVIDENCE (November 16, 2015) — Ubeseiret fjærvekt prospektet Toka “T-Nice” Kahn-Clary (16-0, 10 KOs) kan være den beste, relativt “ukjent” Prizefighter i landet, minst utenfor New England.
En dekorert amerikansk amatør som hadde en 131-11 rekord, markert med en gullmedalje ytelse på 2010 Nasjonale Golden Gloves Tournament, Kahn-Clary returnerer til ringen denne lørdagen natt (November. 20) på The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas mot meksikanske motstander Sergio “Cuatito” Lopez (19-9-1, 13 KOs) i det som skal være Kahn-Clary siste planlagte åtte-round bout før han nyutdannede til 10 allsidige.
“Han er en tøff meksikansk fighter som kan bokse litt på utsiden,” Kahn-Clary snakket om sin neste motstander, “men han kommer frem, også. Han er erfaren og har vært i med mange gode motstandere.”
Lopez er en seriøs test for noen utsikter. His last three fights include a loss to 18-0 Alejandro Luna (KO4) denne siste August, 10-runde split tegne med 24-7-1 Joksan Hernandez, og en imponerende femte runde teknisk knockout av 16-0 Victor Betancourt.
“Lopez er en gamer,” Kahn-Clary hode trener Peter Manfredo, Sr. lagt. 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 trenger en 10-runde kampen først, og han får den kampen tidlig neste år.”
Kahn-Clary, bekjempelse av Providence, kommer av hans mest bemerkelsesverdige seier som profesjonell i juni i fjor, der gikk han opp i klassen til å ta på 33-11 Jonathan Perez, den tidligere colombianske super bantamvekt 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 midlertidig verden weltervekt tittelen seier over Jessie Vargas på StubHub Center i Carson, California.
Den 23-årige, som ble 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 bodde hos fosterforeldre som, ærlig, brydde seg ikke om hva som skjedde med dem.
Alle tegn peker til Toka komme i trøbbel på Providence gatene som en unggutt, spesielt til tider, da han var hjemløs. Heldigvis, skjønt, en venn brakte ham til Manfredo Gym i Pawtuckert, RI. Boxing truly saved his life. Manfredo, USA Boxing New England president Jim Perella og paret som til slutt adopterte ham, Andrea Watson og Ron Clary, dramatisk forandret livet hans.
Kahn-Clary inngått en reklameavtale med Top Rank, hvilken, sammen med sjefen Mike Criscio og Manfredo, har flyttet Kahn-Clary på en jevn, oppover tempo. Kahn-Clary, forresten, vil være med å kjempe for tredje gang i år, etter å ha five fjor.
“Top Rank har gjort en god jobb med å holde meg opptatt,” 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 klar akkurat nå for en 10 eller 12 runde kampen. 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 på en premie, spesielt for en mindre vekt fighter som Kahn-Clary, som har fått uvurderlig erfaring sparring med WBA super fjærvektJavier Fortuna (29-0-1, 21 KOs), tre-tiden amerikansk Olympian Rau'shee Warren og hans kamerat New England og venn, New Haven’s Luis “KO kong” Rosa (21-0, 10 KOs).
“Peter (Manfredo) og meg reise til Worcester (MA) og Connecticut å få god jobb,” 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 sett deres ring generalship, deres bevegelse, 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 lærerik opplevelse. Hvis du ikke lærer av sparring, alt du noensinne vil være en sparringspartner.”
Manfredo har eksistert, og han innser at hans premien student, Kahn-Clary, will need to go away to training camp for good sparring when he starts fighting 10-rounders. “Jeg er god venn med Freddie Roach og vi vil gå ut til California og trene 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 av de beste, if not the best matchmaker in the world. They’ve moved Toka along at a good pace. They know what they’re doing.”
I mellomtiden, Toka Kahn-Clary plans to make his name in boxing next year. Første, skjønt, han har til å komme forbi Lopez denne lørdagen natt for å holde seg gående.
