“I fought good this time because I’m stronger and confident with more energy,” Ganoy told Asianfightscene.com. “Maybe because I trained so hard.”
The 34-year-old was nearly making a decision of hanging up his gloves when the offer in Mexico arrived.
“I supposed ready to stop boxing, but one guy brought me here (in Mexico). It’s a long story but he’s my boss for work and his name is Craig Lane” said Ganoy, who is happily living in with his girlfriend of two years in Campbelltown area in Sydney.
Ganoy last fought on Nov. 30 of last year when he made a short work of Jarkko Jussila in Australia.
Because of his devastating punching power, nobody Down Under is willing to fight him.
“Actually, I never stop working out. I train myself,” said Ganoy, who work in a construction in Sydney.
“I go to different gym like the Old School Gym, Bulldog Gym, Barrage Gym, I go in the Park, and I go to Southern Cross Gym in Australia,” said Ganoy, who re-acquired the services of his former coach, Graham Shaw.
