Sorry I didn't succeed this time, I fought honestly but God's will was like that. Rose was better... I'll come back better and stronger! I didn't make it... I lost, Louis was better tonight, I apologize to all my supporters but I swear to God I'll be back!

Rose registered his 12th triumph, and as a professional he also has two defeats, while he boxed one fight to a draw.

"The match didn't go the way I planned. In the first round I broke my nose and that messed up my whole plan. I had some good moments and I shook Rose twice, but it wasn't enough. I lost by stoppage, but I didn't give up. the referee stopped the fight," added Žižić to the MINA agency.

It was Žižić's second match in the United States of America, after he beat the American Denis Sharp in Charlotte at the end of last year.
