The broadcast team includes Jim “JR” Ross, Sean Wheelock och tidigare världsmästare 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 är en dröm som går i uppfyllelse,” 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 (SÅSOM), is a former International Boxing Organization (IBO) och International Boxing Federation (IBF) weltervikt mästare.
“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. Numera, fast, 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) möter Limberth “Blixtnedslag” 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, Kalifornien
CRANSTON, RI(Februari 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 “Blixt” Cota (18-5-1, 16 Kos) at Sportsman Lodge in Studio City, Kalifornien. A decorated American amateur boxer (131-11 post), his career highlighted by a gold-medal performance at the 2010 Nationella Golden Gloves Tournament, Kahn-Clary is a native of Liberia who passed on a shot to make the 2016 US. Olympic Boxing Team, vrida pro tre år sedan.
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 denna lördag, rubricerades 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 huvud tränare Peter Manfredo, Sr. noteras. “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 olympier Orlando Cruzand Russian champion Andrej 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.”

Obesegrad utsikter Toka Kahn-Clary Utexaminerade till 10-runda fighter
-alla bilder artighet av Mikey Williams / Top Rank-
CRANSTON, RI (November 25, 2015) – After his impressive second-round stoppage of Sergio “Cuatito” Lopez (19-10-1, 13 Kos) fredag kväll på The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, obesegrad blue chip fjäder utsikter Toka “T Nice” Kahn-Clary (17-0, 11 Kos) har officiellt examen från ett åtta till tio Ligt fighter.
“”Min prestation var bra,” 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 Ibs. kontraktet vikt men Lopez vägs 132.2 Ibs.), but I didn’t think too much of it. I really wanted to go four or five rounds for some more experience, men jag satte honom i den andra omgången med en rätt krok, och tog ut honom. (Lopez var oförmögen att svara på klockan för den tredje omgången.)

“Jag är definitivt redo för 10-brännboll. (Huvud tränare) Peter (Manfredo, Sr) alltid har jag gjort en hel del konditionering arbete. Vi sparrade en hel del rundor för åtta-runda slagsmål, so I’ve been ready for 10-round fights. I won’t be fighting again until next year, men jag ska vara tillbaka i gymmet nästa måndag.”

“Jag tror Toka gjort ett stort uttalande och så gjorde Topp Ranking (Kahn-Clary 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, kanske i januari eller februari, and then we can talk about him fighting a top guy. There’s no rush; han är 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, han slår upp gymmet, three or four fighters a session. And most of the time he’s sparring bigger guys and using big gloves.”
Född i Liberia, the 23-year-old Kahn-Clary is a rising star with lofty expectations. “Jag vill tävla på högsta nivå,” he explained. “Nästa år, I will keep working hard and hopefully fight some decent named opponents. I’m not ready for the top guys in my division, inte än, men jag kommer att vara där i ett år.”

Att bekämpa Sergio Lopez denna lördag i Las Vegas

(alla bilder från Jeny Luna Hernandez-Watson)
FÖRSYN (November 16, 2015) — Undefeated fjäder utsikter Toka “T Nice” Kahn-Clary (16-0, 10 Kos) kan vara det bästa, relativt “okänd” prizefighter i landet, åtminstone utanför New England.
En dekorerad amerikansk amatör som hade en 131-11 post, markeras med en guldmedalj prestanda vid 2010 Nationella Golden Gloves Tournament, Kahn-Clary återgår till ringen denna lördag natt (November. 20) på The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas mot mexikanska motståndare Sergio “Cuatito” Lopez (19-9-1, 13 Kos) i vad är tänkt att vara Kahn-Clary sista schemalagda åtta runda bout innan han examen till 10-brännboll.
“Han är en tuff mexikansk fighter som kan rutan lite på utsidan,” Kahn-Clary talade om hans nästa motståndare, “men han kommer fram, alltför. Han är erfaren och har varit in med en hel del bra hästar.”
Lopez är ett allvarligt test för några utsikter. His last three fights include a loss to 18-0 Alejandro Luna (KO4) detta tidigare augusti, 10-rund split rita med 24-7-1 Joksan Hernandez, och en fantastisk femte omgången teknisk knockout av 16-0 Victor Betancourt.
“Lopez är en gamer,” Kahn-Clary huvud tränare Peter Manfredo, Sr. tillsatt. 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, kanske 8-10 månader. We were offered a big fight but, Vi behöver en 10-runt kamp först, och han får denna kamp i början av nästa år.”
Kahn-Clary, slåss av Providence, kommer av hans mest anmärkningsvärda seger som professionell i juni förra året, där han klev upp i klassen att ta på 33-11 Jonathan Perez, fd colombianska super bantamvikt och World Boxing Council (WBC) mästare. Kahn-Clary stopped Perez in the sixth round of their fight on a card headlined by Timothy BradleyS interims världen weltervikt titel vinna över Jessie Vargas på Stubhub Center i Carson, Kalifornien.
Den 23-åriga, som föddes 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, där de bodde med fosterföräldrar som, uppriktigt sagt, brydde sig inte vad som hände med dem.
Alla tecken pekade på Toka få problem på Providence gatorna som en knarkspruta, särskilt vid, när han var hemlös. Lyckligtvis, fast, en vän förde honom till Manfredo idrottshall i Pawtuckert, RI. Boxing truly saved his life. Manfredo, USA Boxing New England president Jim Perella och paret som till slut adopterade honom, Andrea Watson och Ron Clary, dramatiskt förändrat hans liv.
Kahn-Clary tecknat ett PR-kontrakt med Topp Ranking, vilken, tillsammans med chefen Mike Criscio och Manfredo, har flyttat Kahn-Clary i jämn, uppåt takt. Kahn-Clary, tillfälligtvis, kommer att slåss för tredje gången i år, efter att ha fem förra året.
 “Top Rank har gjort ett bra jobb att hålla mig sysselsatt,” 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.“Jag är redo just nu för en 10 eller 12 runt kamp. I’ve done a lot of sparring to help me get ready to step up. I’m excited about fighting 10 och 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, (Tröttal) Lomachenkooch (Lion) Santa Cruz. I have the skills and heart to compete with them.”
Kvalitet sparring i New England är en premie, särskilt för en mindre vikt fighter som Kahn-Clary, som har fått ovärderlig erfarenhet sparring med WBA super fjäderviktareJavier Fortuna (29-0-1, 21 Kos), tre-tid amerikanska olympianen Rau'shee Warren och hans kolleger New England och vän, New Haven’s Luis “KO kung” Rosa (21-0, 10 Kos).
“Peter (Manfredo) och jag reser till Worcester (MA) och Connecticut för att få ett bra arbete,” 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. Jag har sett deras ring generalshipen, deras rörelse, 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, vilket är en lärande upplevelse. Om du inte lära av sparring, allt du någonsin kommer att bli är en sparringpartner.”
Manfredo har funnits och han inser att hans pris elev, Kahn-Clary, will need to go away to training camp for good sparring when he starts fighting 10-rounders. “Jag är god vän med Freddie Roach och vi kommer att gå ut till Kalifornien och träna på Wild Card gym,” Manfredo concluded. “I’m very happy with the way Toka’s been moved. I have faith in Brad Goodman, som är en av de bästa, if not the best matchmaker in the world. They’ve moved Toka along at a good pace. They know what they’re doing.”
Under tiden, Toka Kahn-Clary plans to make his name in boxing next year. Först, fast, han har att komma förbi Lopez denna lördag natten för att hålla sin tempot uppe.
