“Mo ro pe Toka ṣe a ńlá gbólóhùn ati ki ṣe Top ipo (Kahn-Clary ká olugbeleke),” 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, boya ni January tabi February, and then we can talk about him fighting a top guy. There’s no rush; o ni nikan 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, o lu soke awọn idaraya, three or four fighters a session. And most of the time he’s sparring bigger guys and using big gloves.”
Bi ni Liberia, the 23-year-old Kahn-Clary is a rising star with lofty expectations. “Mo fẹ lati dije ni awọn ipele oke,” he explained. “Next odun, I will keep working hard and hopefully fight some decent named opponents.
