“Ina ganin Toka yi wani babban sanarwa haka kuma Top Rank (Kahn-Clary ta mai kiran kasuwa),” 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, watakila a watan Janairu ko Fabrairu, and then we can talk about him fighting a top guy. There’s no rush; da ya ke kawai 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, ya beats sama da dakin motsa jiki, three or four fighters a session. And most of the time he’s sparring bigger guys and using big gloves.”
Haife shi a Liberia, the 23-year-old Kahn-Clary is a rising star with lofty expectations. “Ina so in yi gasa a saman matakin,” he explained. “Badi, I will keep working hard and hopefully fight some decent named opponents. I’m not ready for the top guys in my division, tukuna, amma na son zama a can a wani shekara.”
