When asked how he feels winning the Intercontinental Championship as his first ever tittle with the help of his friend who was seen standing by him, he said,
“The fact is that I won the Intercontinental Champion. But you will find out who this man is later. The fact is that Apollo Creed won what he said he was going to win and that’s winning the Intercontinental Championship.
“…now my ancestors can rejoice, now my family can dance, I made them proud, and now, I am the Intercontinental Champion. This one is for Nigeria.”
