But the British boxer confesses he was very fortunate to get the win against a quality opponent.

“I must say I was very lucky to win, it was a very tough fight against a very good opponent , he gave me a hard time in the ring. It wasn’t easy and I’m very happy to get my first victory in Ghana,” Taylor said at ringside moments after the fight.

“I wasn’t well prepared myself because I was very tired, I had a long flight and got to Accra only on Thursday morning, went straight for medicals then weigh in. There was not even much time to even warm up,” the British boxer explained.

He added: “But that’s no excuse because I fought against a quality opponent, and I can see that Ghanaian boxers are all very good watching the Dogboe fight as well as the other bouts on the night. Lovely hospitality in Ghana, lovely people, I hope to train more here, I believe I will improve tremendously.”
