Team Ryan Garner thank dream maker Frank Warren for keeping his nine-year promise

“He promised me this nine years ago and he’s a man of his word. He’s delivered and it’s been a team effort, obviously. But yeah, it just feels surreal that it’s actually happened. Obviously getting here was the first port of call. Winning was the icing on the cake and I’m just overwhelmed. It’s an unbelievable feeling. I’ve never experienced anything like it in my life. And I thank Frank for that, for making that happen. He [Garner] had fantastic support and obviously the fans were going mad again today, people were asking for tickets because sometimes it’s the last minute and they realise what they’re missing out on. But that was electric and I think next time it’ll be a sell-out.”
It was thought there were around 11,000 in the stadium and Batten paid tribute to their Italian opponent.
