I remember my homecoming in Atlanta, back in 1985, and there were a lot of distractions. Everybody who knew my name showed up, most looking for free tickets. I was skeptical about ever fighting there again. Everybody's different, though." "Toka may be our first world champion. He's a very disciplined person who has been through a lot. I come from the ghetto but, when I heard his story, wow, I couldn't believe his (life) was harder than mine." Toka-Kahn-Clary: (Toka became a father for the first time on Nov. 11, when his wife, Devanni, delivered a 7-pound girl, Adaline) "Now, I'm fighting for my family, not just Toka anymore." "I feel good. I had to have patience and faith in my craft to get here. If you keep working hard, doors will open, and when they do you have to jump right through. I want to win impressively, dominate the fight" "I see a lot of top fighters in my weight class. I'm not going to name any until after this fight, but I have the talent to beat them." "I want to be recognized after I stop fighting, like Evander, who everybody knows, likes and respects." Peter Manfredo, Sr., Kahn-Clary's head trainer: "Toka is a top prospect who is becoming a contender. A lot of fighters don't even get to this point. This fight is a major opportunity to get him closer to where he wants to be, not just a world champion, but for his name to be remembered in boxing. He wants to be a legend. He has to remain focused because this is the first time he'll have a big crowd behind him." Fabio Turchi (Italian Amateur Champion) "Everybody here has been great, very hospitable. It's such a great honor for me to fight in America with its great boxing tradition. I want to have a great fight to be embraced by Americans, especially here in Rhode Island. It's beautiful having so many Italians, that gives me and added push to win." Nick DeLomba: "This opportunity means the world to me because I'll be showcasing my talents in front of my hometown fans. An impressive win will, hopefully, get me to the next level, in TV fights against bigger names."
