"I have seen Eliasu Sulley fight and I know everyone thinks it is very easy and that he is an easy opponent but my coaches and my team know that it was not at all. I want to thank Baghelji because he has supported this and given the youth the gift of sports.
I look forward to my next fight in December, hopefully not with such a gap this time because I didn't expect it to end this quickly and was ready for all 6 rounds," the pugilist said.
