I know I shouldn’t have fought after I was attacked leaving my hotel room but I couldn’t let them win like that.”I was fighting off empty and still felt I won the fight. We have obtained the CCTV and are in contact with the NYPD. Pretty obvious what happened and the truth will be set free shortly.”When SunSport asked Top Rank for comment they said: “Top Rank and Mikaela Mayer strongly condemn what happened to Sandy and hope the responsible party is identified and prosecuted.”Ryan took the ring at Madison Square Garden as scheduled, despite being advised by her trainer to pull out of the bout.Most read in BoxingFOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALSBut the Derby-born boxer subsequently lost her world title on a majority decision.Ryan, who was defending her title for the third time, said the paint incident “unsettled” her and believes it contributed to her narrow loss.She said: “I’m obviously disappointed, and I’m not taking anything away from the decision.”But before coming to the venue, I had a hit and run with paint. And that was definitely set up.”Mayer, 34, said she was “shocked” to hear about the incident and that it had nothing to do with her or her team and denies any wrongdoing.Two scorecards read 97-93 and 96-94 for Mayer, while a third judge saw it a 95-95 draw.Tyson Fury showers Oleksandr Usyk with praise after Daniel Dubois KOs Anthony JoshuaIt leaves Ryan to pick up the pieces of her second defeat and yet another miserable title defence in the United States.Ryan fought in Florida last September and a split decision draw with Jessica McCaskill prevented her becoming a unified champ.’Are you not entertained?

I’m a gladiator, a warrior to the bitter end. This is the biggest win of my career. I couldn’t let this opportunity go and now I want to go to the top level of this game.“I’ve been on a roller-coaster ride and this is my time. I’m not gonna stop until I reach my full potential.”ANTHONY JOSHUA“As p***ed off as I am, it is what it is.“I had a sharp, fast opponent and there were a lot of mistakes from me. Credit to my opponent and his team.“We rolled the dice and came up short. You know I’m p***ed but I’m going to keep cool and give respect to my opponent.”FRANK WARREN (DUBOIS’ PROMOTER)“It was a phenomenal fight, like  Hagler v Hearns.“A brilliant fight and everybody has seen a champion’s performance tonight.“Daniel has shown his courage, his skills.“AJ caught him with a shot towards the end and I was worried, but what a fabulous, fantastic fight.”EDDIE HEARN (AJ’S PROMOTER)“AJ shipped a huge right hand  in the first round and  was fighting on heart.“He hurt Daniel at the end of the fourth and then again in the fifth, but got greedy and walked on to a right hand and that’s all she wrote.“I’m sure Anthony will exercise the rematch clause.” More
