Toka Kahn Clary vs. Kid Galahad - IBF Eliminator Ordered The Real Deal Boxing just celebrated it’s one year anniversary and now the company is proud to announce that the IBF has ordered a purse bid for The Real Deal Boxing's Toka Kahn Clary (25-1, 17 KO) to face Kid Galahad (24-0, 15 KO) in a featherweight world title eliminator to be the mandatory title defense against England's Josh Warrington (27-0, 6 KO). “We have had multiple conversations with Kid Galahad's team and we look forward to coming to an agreement for a fight between Clary against Galahad this fall.” explains, The Real Deal Boxing CEO, Sal Musumeci. “We are willing to continue working on terms but we have no problem going to purse bid if that’s in the best interest of Toka. We have had extensive talks with venues and platforms based in the US and internationally who have expressed interest in working with us on this bout, but the top priority is putting Toka in the best position to win. The Real Deal Boxing is excited to, in just one year of existence, have one of our fighters in such an amazing position. We are confident Toka Kahn Clary will be the first of many world champions under The Real Deal banner.” “Although we feel we have the best stable of undefeated blue chip prospects out of any current promotion, fighters that we believe will be the face of boxing over the coming years like Edgar Berlanga (8-0, 8 KO), JaNelson Bocachica (10-0, 8 KO) and Joshua Temple (6-0, 5 KO) to name a few, it’s always important for a new promotional outfit to prove that they have the ability to guide a legitimate contender to a title shot like in the case of Toka.” says, The Real Deal Boxing COO, Eric Bentley. “I think we've proven that The Real Deal Boxing is a place for fighters of all levels who want a promoter that keeps them busy in the ring but cares for them outside of it and has the experience and connections to guide them to major opportunities. In addition we are truly trying to change the sport for the better for fans and fighters. From the judging, scoring and safety initiatives that we are doing with our WBC Tournament, we hope to take these changes to commissions across the country and the world." As 4x time heavyweight champion and co-founder The Real Deal Boxing, Evander Holyfield adds, “I knew when we signed Toka, he would be our first fighter to earn a title shot and now he’s one fight away from doing just that. Teaming up with Freddie Roach has brought out a whole new side of Toka and we can’t wait for him to get the opportunity he’s worked so hard for. It’s been an amazing first year for the The Real Deal Boxing and having Toka in line for a shot at the mandatory is very exciting and shows the boxing world that we are The Real Deal.”
If it happens Warrington points win galahad done nothing since the ban but if he wins a eliminator fair enough good local fight easy to sell
Makes sense really, Warrington clearly doesn’t want to fight frampton and I can’t see him fighting the Walsh/Lowe rematch winner
don't be surprised to see Warrington v Frampton as Josh next fight, As long as Carl comes through his next fight. Even tho I'd like to see Josh v Walsh, I don't see it happening. Firstly, as u pointed out Walsh has to beat Lowe,which isn't a cert. If he was to come through then I don't see Frank been happy giving Walsh a payday, considering Walsh bros aint with Frank now
I’d imagine Josh has another before the Frampton fight, maybe his mandatory? Then next summer he faces Frampton in Elland Road or Windsor Park.
I think they are going through with the Belfast night as it was all booked and Frank promised Carl a homecoming fight so he's delivered there. I would expect it Manc, and this will be one of bts first ppv most likely. Nov I reckon
I read last week that Tokas promoters were truly behind him and they are going all out to get him home adv. Can't remember where I read it, maybe someone put it on here, oh ye its the TS duh . Can't see Eddie putting too much into kid. I just don't see where he fits into matchroom plans, to put in a big bid for him. That is assuming Tokas promoters weren't talking smack.
If you liked that promo apparently there's a full length docufilm coming out on Josh by the end of the year. It's an hour and half long and documents his life as a boxer trying to make it to the top. It's been filmed over the past 3years and was done by the same production co who did A.P McCoy.
I have a feeling it wo t happen this year. Warringtons camp are meant to be wanting one more fight before Frampton. That being the case and with Warrington not having a fight scheduled i dont see how its possible unless his team change their mind about having another fight first
