Andrew Tabiti tells fans he will stay ‘humble in victory and defeat’ after Saturday’s WBSS Semi-Final KO defeat against Yuniel Dorticos at the Arena Riga.
Former WBA cruiserweight belt-holder and the new IBF champ, Yuniel Dorticos, lived up to his moniker ‘The KO Doctor’ by halting Andrew Tabiti with a one-shot right-hander in the 10th round of their semi-final in Riga, Latvia.
“I came ready, I came prepared, and I knew the knockout would come, not to take anything away from Tabiti, he’s a great talent,” said Dorticos.
Tabiti was putting in effective work to the body throughout the bout and managed to give Dorticos a frustrating night until the Cuban smashed home a stunning finish.
“I am a professional Boxer with no regrets and no excuses,” wrote Tabiti on Instagram after his first career loss.
“It just wasn’t in Gods Plan this time. @dorticosko was a worthy opponent and I wish many more blessings for him and his family. I will always stay humble in Victory or Defeat. This is just another Learning Experience.
