Priddy Ugly breaks silence after beatdown: ‘Accept your L’s’

A day after Cassper Nyovest wiped the floor with him, Priddy Ugly broke his silence, accepting defeat and the embarrassment that came with their boxing match on Saturday.

The rap rivals faced off in the Sun Bet Arena for another Celeb City weekend with Cassper being named the winner after just a minute in the ring.

The short-lived match was a trending topic on Twitter with many mocking Priddy Ugly and his lack of effort.

PRIDDY UGLY ACCEPTS DEFEAT

Following his stint in the boxing ring, Priddy Ugly shared his thoughts on the viral match on Twitter.

He posted in a series of tweets:

“Treat your losses as lessons. The thing about being public figures is that your wins, but mostly your losses are displayed for the world to see. With odds stacked against us, last night we fell, but the bounce back is where the character is built. Looking forward to the rise!”

“Survived the worst these last few months. Been tested & had my life on the line several times & we still pushed through & showed up. More than anything, I’m grateful for my family & the gift of life. Been extremely blessed & protected”

“As confidently as your take your wins, accept your L’s in the same manner, they are yours to keep, own them, learn from them & better yourself. The noise will be there, but ultimately it’s really about self. Pick yourself up, dust your shoulders & work harder – for you, not them”

Twitter

Priddy Ugly also revealed his “greatest takeaways” from the match, which was deemed a “knockout” by the referee.

“You get in the ring, & the game plan goes out the window – maybe from adrenaline rush & the atmosphere in the arena, I don’t know.

 I never used my jab adequately, kept my distance, or created space between us. I didn’t move efficiently.

Kept way too low & didn’t have my guard up right – Exposing the flaws in my defence.

I never paced the fight, maybe I was too excited.

Never mind the weight difference, my opponent had more experience & was better prepared.

It was a clean victory for him”

People will be talking about the sport for a while because of our battle tonight. Glad you could get home safe with your family”.

Cassper also expressed interest in fighting both AKA and Nigerian muso Burna Boy next.
