On this day 11 years ago, I travelled over to America for my first World Title defence against former undisputed middleweight champion Jermain Taylor. I got knocked down in round 3 for the first time in my career. I was behind on all of the judges score cards & I went out for the final round knowing I had to knock him out! With only 14 seconds left until the final bell, I produced this flurry of 18 unanswered punches which forced the referee to stop the fight! And I retained my beloved WBC title! If you can can still breathe & you're still standing, no matter how badly you've been beaten down, regardless of whether nobody else thinks you can achieve... Don't EVER quit!! American commentary....😁 "I'm coming back to England Mom, and I'm keeping my title!" Brilliant!
