The ‘Timorese Terror’ said, “I felt really good to get back in the ring doing what I do best at such a prestigious event so I have got to thank my manager Tony Tolj and everybody at the IBF for making it a possibility!

“My opponent was a tricky customer. I caught him with some good shots early on and when he felt my power he seemed to a bit reluctant to engage. I stuck to the game plan and got the win and that’s what the objective was.”

“The convention really is a special event to be a part of in any capacity but to win a title at it is a dream in itself. 

“Going forward I want to carry on developing and working my way up the world rankings at the right place. I have a great management team who have guided me perfectly so far and I fully trust them to get me the right fights at the right time.” 

Gago’s manager comes in the form of Australian Boxing kingpin Tony Tolj, who manages an array of top talents in the Australasian region. Tolj gave his take on his charge Gago’s title-winning performance. 

Tolj said, “Steve Gago is getting better all the time and he has a really bright future ahead of him.
