‘He pushed me to another level’
Speaking to DAZN, Stevenson said: “I came here to prove a point.
“I took more punishment than usual. I’m not no puppy, I’m a tough guy.
“I proved I’m a dog. He’s one of the toughest out there.
“He came in and pushed me to another level.
“I had to go in my bag, he kept coming.
“I stayed against the ropes too long. I had to stay off and pick my punches.
“[Who’s next?] Whoever, whoever.
“I want to go back to the drawing board, work on my game a bit and come back better.”
