At 38 years of age time is not on the Brit’s side but he has vowed to continue fighting.
Speaking to the BBC post-fight he said,
“I’m going to [take] a bit of time… reflect and review where I went wrong.”
Asked if he may retire after the two consecutive defeats he replied,
“No chance. I’m feeling good, I’m feeling OK. It’s not the end of the world. I can rebuild and come back.”
“There’s plenty of learning to do. He’s a tough fighter. Maybe it was a risk too far.”
“I’ve taken losses in the amateurs. I prefer to win obviously but I feel OK.”
“I still feel fresh and that I can do some more sparring and rounds. I’m feeling OK. I’ll just have to lick my wounds and comeback stronger.”
