Jeremiah Nakathila says his fight with American, Shakur Stevenson of the United States of America for the World Boxing Organisation (WBO) interim junior lightweight title in Las Vegas in the early hours of Sunday was a great experience for him.
Speaking via WhatsApp video messaging on Monday, Low-Key, as Nakathila is known amongst his legion of fans said he enjoyed sharing the ring with Stevenson and it was a great learning experience for him.
“It was a great fight. I learnt a lot. There were a lot of expectations on the side of Stevenson, but I brought on my game plan… his speed and power were neutralised,” Nakathila said.
He further went on to say he is already looking forward to his next fight in which he expects to do much better.
The Namibian boxer was gracious in defeat saying in the sport you win some and lose some, hence he looks forward to coming back home and getting back to the drawing board for his next fight.
Nakathila lost the fight on a unanimous decision after all the three judges scored the fight 120-107 in favour of Stevenson.
