Joseph Parker has promised to get back to training after acknowledging that Anthony Joshua was the better boxer on Saturday.
Parker had lost on decisions to the Joshua after taking the heavyweight champion the distance, the first person to do so since Joshua turned professional.
He, however, insinuated that the referee affected his game plan with the repeated stops and separations.
He said, “Today, I got beaten by a better champion and a bigger man.
“I have a lot to work on and it was a good experience being here. I want to go back, train hard and come back stronger.
“No regrets, take it on the chin. He was the better man today and we will be back again.
“[I need to]work harder, come back stronger with more punches.
“Just back to the drawing board. I’m young, fit, strong and I didn’t godown. I’m fit to go more rounds.
“We could’ve worked on inside more but whatever happened here[with the referee], happened. We can’t change it.”
