Ryota Murata said in a positive tone that the only thing he did not earn in his first world title shot was the belt, adding that he believes he did not lose anything.
On Thursday, two-and-a-half weeks since his controversial loss to interim champion Hassan N'Dam in a WBA middleweight world title bout at Ariake Colosseum, the 31-year-old Murata resumed training for the first time at his Teiken gym.
Murata lost by split decision to the Cameroonian-French, with many people around the world criticizing the scoring. But he has not cursed at anyone, saying the result is beyond his control.
