Commenting on the West Street gym’s success, trainer Iain Mahood said: "There was a massive buzz around Anto during the whole of fight week. From the public workout, to the weigh-in and fight night itself, there was an incredible reception for the Belfast man.
"Anto is a people's champion and it definitely showed throughout the week. It was incredible to have both the lads on a massive bill in Belfast and the icing on the cake was when they both secured good wins.
"Willo answered few questions in his fight. What can you say about Anto? He damaged his hands from pretty much the start, but he still got the job done. I have said it before and I will say it again, he is cut from a different cloth. He is a very special man."
