Witter says: "He took a lot of shots, and many fighters would have stayed down for the first time. But that second shot when it came, it was sweet.
"I've had shitloads of stick coming into this fight, and I think I've proved a lot of people wrong. I had a lot of niggles coming into this fight, but I'd put in the training and I wasn't going to pull out. I am the man, thank you.
"I'll have to have another look at it, but it felt very good to me."

Witter's promoter also said that the next fight he wanted to make was against Paulie Malignaggi, and he claimed: "It's the biggest fight possible in the Light-Welterweight division."
