Nigeria's World Boxing council lightwelter weight boxer Segun Ajose,has attributed his defeat to lucas mattyzee of Argentina in the WBC lightwelter weight to lack of funds and poor preparation.
"It was a tough fight both of us happen to be proud guy.both of us happen to do the best in the division so we gave good account of ourself.the fans and judges love the fight .but i know i could have given a good account of myself given the right preparation,i could have done better .
Ajose,who was devastated over the poor lackadavsical attitude of the National sport commission towards his ambition of becoming a World champion,said he could have given good account of himself by outpunching Mattyzee,if he had enough funds and super b preparation expeacted of a champion.
"Mattyzee prepared more better than us and that is why he won the bout.he wasa better boxer on that day,it so sad that i know am more better than him ,am a technical boxer but on the day because he came better prepared,he got the better option.
"I trained very hard for the fight ,but the preparation was not the way i wanted it given the right fund we could have done better .As have always said,preparation is always the key.talent is one thing,hard work is another but preparation is the best.and we did not get the best of preparation."
The pugilist said he arrived United State of America,ahead of the bout in less then a month to the contest while is opponent had been training rigorously two months to the contest as the Argentina Government aided Mattyzee to stand in a position to win the fight by making available credible sparring boxers and also sponsoring six coaching crew to United States.
" It is a common knowledge that Mattyzze got the best support from the Argentina Government.His coaching crew alone was sponsored by the Argentina government and he cxame with six coaching crew and other staff.he was better prepared,he was in camp longer,he got the best of sparring.he import the best sparring partners across the world that would suit turn to fight me.
Ajose, who agreed that Mattyzee deserved to win said he would observe a break to spend time with his family after which he would go for a warm up fight or a big fight in december,2012.
"I will take few weeks break,spend time with my family and paly football with my boy and get back to training and wait on my promoter,manager to tell me the next thing most likely am going for a warm up fight in December,then a big fight for me i got use to whatever resources you have to ensure wining a world titles."
He beleived that Governor Raji Babatunde Fashola support was instrumental to his victory against Ali Chebah in the WBC lightwelter weight eliminator bout.
"Governor Fashola,has been very helpful to us.you know when i fought again Alli Chebah,Fashola's was very critical and that is why i was able to beat CHEBAH.I was prepared for that and the result was what you saw.i went inside and i performed the way i expect to perform.i won the fight because we got support from the Lagos State Government."
"My own case i did not get any support from the federal Government and am not just a boxer who just come in on the radar lately,have been representing Nigeria for a long time for decades.have won laurels for nigeria in the amateur, Professional cadress.support from the federal Government is not something am happy about."
"I does not matter whether WBC,IBF or WBO whichever organisation i got the opportunity,i will go for.At the level i am,i can box for any Governing Body i can box for a world title.i can still fight for WBC,WBA,IBF or WBO.I am in the mixed especially with this fight.i showed how good i am even though."
The fans really want me back.its all about whoever want to fight me to step forward.
This time,we did not get the help because of the olympic.we did not meet with right officials on time.so hopeful,when i get my news fight,i will get support fron the State Government or Federal Government.
