Moments after the bout, he broke down saying; <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a tough time [for me when I started boxing] because obviously, we have a lot of great boxers in the UK and as a village boy travelling all the way from Ghana to start boxing here at the age of 27, a lot of criticism came up.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA lot of people quizzed my decision to start boxing and asked if there was an injury who was going to look after me. [At that] time I was an amateur \u2013 no income and nothing coming up. People said \u2018You need to stay focused and keep doing your cleaning job\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere was a whole lot but I never let myself down.
