“My trainers are the ones doing the job behind the scenes, I would like to thank them.”
Tete then set his sights on Ryan Burnett, adding: “I believe he stays here, this is his hometown, so we should see who is king of the bantamweights.”
Despite Tete’s stunning victory, Carl Frampton was the main talking point on his return to the ring.
The Jackal edged out Horacio Garcia by unanimous decision to delight the local fans.
