PROVIDENCE (Svibanj 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. Last weekend, 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, boreći se Providnosti, 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, a (his head trainer) Peter (Manfreda, 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.”
 Uređenu američki amater koji je imao 131-11 rekord, istaknuo je nastup zlatne medalje na 2010 Nacionalni Golden Gloves turnir, Kahn-Clary prošao na pucao kako bi 2016 U.S. Olympic Boxing Team to turn pro three years ago.
“I’ve been boxing 10 godina,” 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.

Demetrije Andrade održat će i otvoriti mediji vježba ovaj četvrtak noć (8 poslije podne. I početak) na Big Six akademiji, 816 Douglas Ave. u Providence.
Tijekom svoje prošlosti 16 frustrirajuće mjeseci, Andrade je oduzet naslov WBO, u biti zabranjeno bore na televiziji, ispao iz svih gostiju, i nepravedno označen kao borca koji govori veliku igru, ali odbije teške borbe.
“Ja sam olakšanje i zahvalna da se ponovno bori, osobito u blizini kuće i ispred mojih navijača,” Andrade rekao o svom lis. 17 borba protiv argentinskog protivnika Dario Fabijan “Gallo” Pucheta (20-2, 11 Kos), bivši američki prvak Jug, u 10-okruglog 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. Htio sam se boriti Delvin Rodriguez, što bi bila dobra borba u Connecticutu, jer to je odakle je i sam živi u Rhode Island, ali, Mislim, njegovi ljudi nisu htjela boriti me. Oni moraju ga štedi za nekoga.
“Tako, Morao sam uzeti ovu borbu (off-TV vs. nisu rangirani protivnik) da se vrati u akciji, 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 izgubite, 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 je'S cipele su Boks je sljedeći superstar.”
Tijekom svog dugog izbivanja iz ringa, Andrade doviknuo Mayweather, Šaul “Canelo” Alvarez, Erislandy Lara, i druge svjetske klase borci bez uspjeha, remaining on the shelf waiting to landing a career defining fight that never materialized. Andrade, a 2007 Svjetsko prvenstvo osvojio zlatnu medalju i četiri puta nacionalni prvak amater, podnio je tužbu protiv Roc Nation, tvrdeći promotivni tvrtku, vlasništvu Jay-Z, odbila na obećanje da će ga platiti $550,000.
“Jedina borba koju sam ikada odbio je bio 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 ne uzeti tu borbu (Prosinca. 13, 2014 vs. Charlo) ali, kad stvari nije dogodilo s Roc Nation, Sam potpisao ugovor za borbu protiv Charlo (Jan. 14, 2015). Umjesto, he signed a deal to fight Martirosyan. I never knew anything about the (Matt) Korobov borba (za upražnjeno WBO srednjoj naslov) Tek nakon što je objavljena. Nikad namjeravao preseliti do srednjoj, u to vrijeme, boriti ga ili netko drugi. Kasnije, Čak sam ponudio da se bori (Antonije) Mundine u svom dvorištu (Australija) za kratko novca, samo da bi svoju titulu, ali to nije uspjelo 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 jači nego ikada, fizički i psihički. He is returning to the ring with a vengeance, obećavajući da će napraviti veliki izjavu Listopada. 17 i dalje.
“Idem napraviti izjavu da sam najbolji 154 funta borac na svijetu i pokazati zašto se nitko ne želi boriti me,” Andrade concluded. “Idem u izlog sve moje sposobnosti s mojim listopada 17th performance. I’m looking ahead, ne u prošlosti.”
