Boxing manager Aljoe Jaro will lead the overnight victory party that will be held for newly-crowned IBF miniflyweight kingpin Florante Condes at the world-class Thunderbird Resorts in Binangonan, Rizal this Sunday.
Jaro, who was at ringside working Condes' corner in the latter's title challenge last Saturday against Muhammad Rachman, said that all boxers will be invited to the said victory party.
Condes received all his prize money for the fight today from Jaro, including all the financial rewards given by Jaro's friends to Condes for his victory.
"I want to give him a decent life. That's my gift to him. He wants me to help him chart his career and put order into his life," said Jaro in an interview today.
"He is like a second father to me," Condes said, referring to Jaro. The young champion's father, Florante Sr, died of tuberculosis years ago when Condes was not yet a fighter.

Condes' next fight, according to Jaro, might be on the undercard of the October 6 Manny Pacquiao-Marco Antonio Barrera superbout.
Jaro is also entertaining a possible rematch with Rachman in Jakarta if the Indonesian promoters can raise his purse requirement as well as other perks befitting a visiting world champion.
