A decorated American amateur boxer (131-11 rekord), his career highlighted by a gold-medal performance at the 2010 Nacionalni Golden Gloves turnir, Kahn-Clary is a native of Liberia who passed on a shot to make the 2016 U.S. Olimpijski boks tima, Prije okreće pro tri godine.
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 ove subote, naslov po 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 od 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 glava trenera Petar Manfreda, Sr. navedeno. “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, Portorikanski olimpijac 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.”

“Mislim Toka napravio veliku izjavu i tako je Top Rank (Kahn-Clary je 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, možda u siječnju ili veljači, and then we can talk about him fighting a top guy. There’s no rush; on je samo 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, on pretuče teretanu, three or four fighters a session. And most of the time he’s sparring bigger guys and using big gloves.”
Rođen je u Liberiji, the 23-year-old Kahn-Clary is a rising star with lofty expectations. “Želim se natjecati na najvišoj razini,” on je objasnio. “Slijedeće godine, I will keep working hard and hopefully fight some decent named opponents.

Uređenu američki amater koji je imao 131-11 rekord, istaknuo je nastup zlatne medalje na 2010 Nacionalni Golden Gloves turnir, Kahn-Clary vraća u ring ove subote noć (Studeni. 20) u The Cosmopolitan Las Vegasu protiv meksičke protivnika Sergio “Cuatito” Lopez (19-9-1, 13 Kos) u ono što je trebao biti Kahn-Clary posljednji rasporedu osam cijele meč prije nego što je diplomanata na 10 sveobuhvatni.
“On je tvrd meksičke borac koji može boksati malo na van,” Kahn-Clary je govorio o svojoj sljedeći protivnik, “ali on izlazi naprijed, previše. On je iskusan, te je u s puno dobrih protivnika.”
Lopez je ozbiljan test za bilo klubova. His last three fights include a loss to 18-0 Alejandro Luna (KO4) prošlog kolovoza, 10-okrugli Split povući s 24-7-1 Joksan Hernandez, i zapanjujuća peti okrugli tehnički nokaut od 16-0 Victor Betancourt.
“Lopez je igra,” Kahn-Clary glava trenera Petar Manfreda, Sr. dodano. 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, može biti 8-10 mjeseci. We were offered a big fight but, trebamo jedan 10-okrugli borbu prva, i on dobiti tu borbu početkom sljedeće godine.”
Kahn-Clary, boreći se Providnosti, dolazi skinuo Najistaknutiji pobjedu kao profesionalni prošlog lipnja, u kojoj je ušao u klasu preuzimanja 33-11 Jonathan Perez, bivši kolumbijski super bantamweight i World Boxing vijeće (WBC) prvak. Kahn-Clary stopped Perez in the sixth round of their fight on a card headlined by Timothy BradleyJe privremeni svijet velter naslov osvojiti Jessie Vargas na StubHub centru u Carsonu, Kalifornija.
23-godišnjak, koji je rođen 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, gdje su živjeli s udomiteljima koji, iskreno, nije briga što im se dogodilo.
Svi znakovi ukazao na Toka uzimajući u nevolji na Providence ulicama kao dječak, posebno u vremenima, kada je bez krova nad glavom. Srećom, iako, prijatelj ga je doveo do Manfreda je put u Pawtuckert, RI. Boxing truly saved his life. Manfreda, Predsjednik SAD Boks New England Jim Perella a par koji je na kraju ga je usvojio, Andrea Watson a Ron Clary, dramatično promijenila život.
Kahn-Clary potpisala promotivni ugovor s Top Rank, koji, zajedno s upraviteljem Mike Criscio i Manfreda, su se preselili Kahn-Clary na stalni, gore ritam. Kahn-Clary, slučajno, će se boriti za treći put ove godine, nakon pet lani.
 “Najbolje mjesto je učinio dobar posao vođenja me posla,” 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.“Spreman sam odmah za 10 ili 12 okrugli borba. I’ve done a lot of sparring to help me get ready to step up. I’m excited about fighting 10 a 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, (Umoranl) Lomachenkoa (Lav) Santa Cruz. I have the skills and heart to compete with them.”
Kvaliteta sparing u New England je na premije, pogotovo za manje težine borca kao što je Kahn-Clary, koji je stekao neprocjenjivo iskustvo sparing sa WBA super peroJavier Fortuna (29-0-1, 21 Kos), tri puta američki olimpijac Rau'shee Warren i njegov kolega i prijatelj New England, New Haven’s Luis “KO kralj” Rosa (21-0, 10 Kos).
“Nestajati (Manfreda) i ja putuju u Worcester (MA) i Connecticut dobiti dobar posao,” 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. Vidio sam njihov prsten vojskovođe, njihovo kretanje, 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, što je iskustvo učenja. Ako ne uče iz sparingu, Sve što ste ikada ćete biti je sparing partner.”
Manfreda je oko i on shvaća da njegova nagrada učeniku, Kahn-Clary, will need to go away to training camp for good sparring when he starts fighting 10-rounders. “Ja sam dobar prijatelj s Freddie Roach a mi ćemo izaći u Kaliforniju i trenirati na Wild Card kupaonica,” Manfredo concluded. “I’m very happy with the way Toka’s been moved. I have faith in Brad Goodman, koji je jedan od najboljih, if not the best matchmaker in the world. They’ve moved Toka along at a good pace. They know what they’re doing.”
U međuvremenu, Toka Kahn-Clary plans to make his name in boxing next year. Prvo, iako, on mora otarasiti Lopez ove subote noć zadržati svoj zamah ide.
