"It's good to be back after a long layoff. I used that time to improve in some aspects and you saw that today. Although I didn't aim to finish the fight early, my work, my athleticism and my patience all paid off. My team gave me the right instructions: work my jab and keep moving all the time. As the fight progressed, I started to seriously attack him and eventually he gave up.
Now I plan to come back in July or August. Next opponent? I can't say anything yet. If someone wants to fight me, let's do it!", stated the Surinamese.
