PROVIDENCE (Maj 18, 2016)) – Undefeated blue-chip featherweight prospect Toka “T-Nice” Kahn-Clary (17-0, 11 KOs) continues to show improvement in each and every fight. Prošli vikend, the 23-year-old Liberia-native knocked out seasoned veteran Orlando Rizo (19-7) in the fourth round at Sportsman Lodge in Studio City, Kalifornija.
Kahn-Clary, bori se Providence, may still be flying under the radar but he’s getting closer to becoming a breakout star. His most recent fight was his first scheduled 10-rounder.
“I put in a lot of hard roadwork, running seven miles a day, i (his head trainer) Peter (Manfredo, Sr.) really pushed me,” Kahn-Clary talked about preparing for his last fight. I got some good work from Javier Fortuna, sparring him a few times, and he’s a good southpaw.
“I wasn’t looking for a knockout but it just happened. I stepped left and threw a left. I didn’t load up but it was accurate, hitting him right on his chin. I was happy to get the knockout but I was looking forward to getting in some more rounds.”
“Nothing Toka does really surprises me because I’ve known since the beginning that he’s special,” Manfredo commented. “Toka continues to improve with each fight and he’s hungry to get to the next level. There’s no rush, he doesn’t turn 24 to next year. He’s still maturing. The kid he knocked out was Nicolas Walters’ main sparring partner.
“I just don’t want to put him in with the big names just yet. He’s maturing but he’s not all the way there. He’s improving all of the time, putting his combinations together better each fight. I’ve also noticed that he’s nice and relaxed in the ring now. He’s becoming a good boxer who always had power. Top Rank is doing a great job moving him. Everybody’s happy.”
 A uređen američki amater koji je imao 131-11 rekord, naglašene zlatnu medalju-nastup na 2010 Nacionalni Golden Gloves turnir, Kahn-Clary donijela na šut kako bi 2016 U.S. Olympic Boxing Team to turn pro three years ago.
“I’ve been boxing 10 godina sada,” Kahn-Clary added. “Knowing what I’ve already accomplished, I also realize that I’m still improving. I’ll be back in the gym Ponedjeljak to get ready for the next call we get about my next fight. (Top Rank’s) Brad Goodman is one of the best matchmakers in boxing. He and everybody at Top Rank are doing a great job positioning me for a big opportunity. That may not happen this year but, hopefully, it will sometime next year. I’m boxing so much better now than I ever did. I used to fight like I was in a fog but, sada, my eyes are wide open.”
Not bad for a kid who left his mother and siblings in Liberia when he was six, only to have his father murdered a year after he arrived in the United States. He’s overcome many difficult obstacles in his young life, most of them tougher than any opponents he’ll every fight, including a stretch in which he was homeless. It’s only made him tougher and an even better overall person.

Otvorene medije WORKOUT – JAVNI POZVANI
Demetrius Andrade će održati i otvorene medije trening u četvrtak noć (8 poslije podne. I start) Big Six akademiji, 816 Douglas Ave. u Providence.
Za vrijeme njegove prošlosti 16 frustrirajuće mjeseci, Andrade je lišena titule WBO, u suštini je zabranjeno bore na mreži televiziji, pao sa svih ocjena, i nepravedno brendiran kao borac koji govori velika igra, ali odbila teške borbe.
“Laknulo mi je i zahvalan da se ponovo bori, posebno u neposrednoj blizini kuće i pred mojim fanovima,” Andrade je rekao o svom oktobar. 17 boriti protiv protivnika argentinska Dario Fabian “The Gallo” Pucheta (20-2, 11 KOs), bivši šampion Južne Amerike, u 10-okrugli glavni događaj za upražnjeno WBO & WBA International super welterweight championships. “It’s good to finally have a date and I’m very happy to get back in the ring. It isn’t the fight I really wanted but Pucheta has a good record and he always comes to fight. I wanted to fight Delvin Rodriguez, koja bi bila dobra borba u Connecticutu, jer je to odakle dolazi i živim u Rhode Island, ali, Pretpostavljam, njegovi ljudi ne žele ga da se bori mene. Oni se moraju ga štedi za nekog drugog.
“Tako, Trebalo mi je da se ova borba (off-TV vs. ne-rangirani protivnik) da se vratim u akciju, to where I want to be and belong. It’s not like I failed in the ring to lose my title belt. Bio sam razočaran da ga izgubim, naravno, but that’s not what identifies me. People know who the best fighters are in the world. All I ever wanted was to do was fight. I want to stay active and I believe I can fill Floyd Mayweather jeCipele 'e kao sljedeći superstar boksa.”
Tokom svoje duge pauze od ringa, Andrade prozvala Mayweather, Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, Erislandy Lara, i drugi borci svjetske klase bez rezultata, remaining on the shelf waiting to landing a career defining fight that never materialized. Andrade, a 2007 World Championships dobitnik zlatne medalje i četiri puta nacionalni prvak amater, je podnio tužbu protiv Roc Nation, tvrdeći promotivne društvo, vlasništvu Jay-Z, pogazila obećanje da mu plati $550,000.
“Jedina borba koju sam ikada odbio je protiv (Jermall)Charlo,” Objasnio Andrade, “because I was in that situation with Jay-Z. I thought he and his company could really help me, u ring i marketing-mudar. Izabrao sam da to ne shvatim borba (Decembar. 13, 2014 vs. Charlo) ali, kada stvari nije dogodilo s Roc Nation, Potpisao sam ugovor da se borim Charlo (Jan. 14, 2015). Umjesto toga, he signed a deal to fight Martirosyan. I never knew anything about the (Matt) Korobov borba (za upražnjeno WBO naslov u srednjoj kategoriji) dok nakon što je objavljeno. Nikada nisam namijenjena za kretanje do srednjoj, u to vrijeme, da se bori protiv njega, ili bilo ko drugi. Kasnije, Čak sam ponudio da se borim (Antonije) Mundine u svom dvorištu (Australija) za kratki novca, samo da bi moju titulu, ali to nije išlo ni. Mislim da je to sve dio ove igre.”
Andrade trenirao tri ili četiri dana u tjednu, čak i bez datuma za borbu, i on je jača nego ikad, fizički i psihički. He is returning to the ring with a vengeance, obećavajući da veliki izjavu Oktobar. 17 i šire.
