@Son_of_Gabriel said “Samuel Peter is still fighting professional boxing. Baba should retire ooo, heavy blows to the head at old age can lead to brain damage. Samuel Peter claims to be 39 years old, but we know baba is way older than that. He might be in his early 50’s.”

@SantosTHEBOSS said “I’ve seen a lot of takes and banter over Samuel Peter and his loss yesterday. Sitting behind your phone talking nonsense about an athlete who is still fit and brave enough to step into the ring to challenge for a title. In spite of his age. Slimy people, you guys. Slimy people.”

@QdPaper said “if Samuel Peter was representing British in boxing he would have bounced back just like Anthony Joshua. Samuel Peter represents Nigeria and Nigerians don’t like associating themselves with losers. If Samuel Peter had bounce back Nigerians from Nowhere will be proud of him.”
