Jerry Okorodudu's reaction about Anthony Joshua

“In boxing, you win some and you lose some, but I don’t think he lost that fight, the fight was too close. It was a split decision. But he can also go back and train harder to redeem his titles.
“I don’t think it’s time for Joshua to retire from boxing. At 32 years, he is still a very young boxer, except when he gets to 39 years. He needs to relax and stay focused on what is next for him.''
