Following his upset loss to Timothy Bradley in Nottingham, and the loss of his WBC junior welterweight title, Junior Witter told ITV1 that he plans to return to the ring and has no intention of retiring.
"I'm still going to carry on, no way am I retiring after that. There's a lot more in the tank. There are better nights for me to come and Junior Witter will be back. As a world champion."
On the losing end of the split-decision, the deciding factor in the scoring was when Bradley caught Witter with a big shot in the sixth to score a knockdown. Witter is shocked and felt that he pulled out the win, but still gave Bradley praise for his performance.
"I'm gutted, I can't believe it," Witter said. "I thought I'd done enough to win. I know I had the knockdown but I thought I worked hard enough in the rest of the fight to win comfortably. I don't think you saw the best of me tonight. Timothy Bradley came out and fought and took some good shots. He caught me with a hell of a shot.
"But I was just a bit sloppy. It was a perfect shot. He'd been trying it all night, I knew he was going for it. But I won rounds before it. I won rounds after that.
