Takaloo is a showboat who had good head and body movement, but usually ended up looking bruised, battered but unbowed.
A one time world title contender and later WBU welterweight champion, Takaloo had problems obtaining a passport to fight outside the UK, but became a British citizen.
He won the fringe WBU light-middleweight world championship belt in 2001 by beating the then undefeated Anthony Farnell[1] in Manchester.
Takaloo then moved down to welterweight following defeats to Eugenio Monteiro and a chilling knockout loss to unpredictable puncher Wayne Alexander.
[2] Takaloo lost the WBU welterweight championship to former British Champion Michael Jennings by a unanimous points decision on 7 April 2007 and a further TKO loss to Anthony Small on 12 January 2008.
