“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, ọ gbagwojuru elu mgbatị, three or four fighters a session. And most of the time he’s sparring bigger guys and using big gloves.”
