However, he returned to the ring and grabbed the mic, telling the King Abdullah Sports City:
“If you knew my story, you would understand the passion.
I ain’t no amateur boxer from five years old that was an elite prospect from youth.
I was going to jail, I got bail, and I started training me a*** off, I wanted to be able to fight.
“This guy beat me tonight, maybe I could have done better, but it shows the level of hard work I put in, so please give him a round of applause as our heavyweight champion of the world.”
