Junior Witter Won't Retire, Says He Ain't No Quitter

By Terence Dooley

Junior Witter today stated that is looking to carry on in the sport of boxing, the Bradford big-hitter hopes he can put the disappointment of Saturday’s loss to Devon Alexander behind him.  Junior decided to retire in the corner at the end of round eight, handing the fight, and the WBC light-welterweight title, to his opponent.

At 35, Junior is no longer a junior; however, the switch-hitting boxer told the The South Yorkshire Star that he plans to give boxing one last shot.  “I don't think it's my last fight.  I've got to decide exactly where I'm going now and which way I go about it,” declared Witter.

Witter cited an injury to his right hand as the reason for his withdrawal from the fight, Junior was behind on points, had been cut in round four, and he looked well below par, it will be a long road back.
