Harper, who remains the WBA junior middleweight champion tweeted: “Sometimes the journey is better than the destination. The biggest thank you to Sandy Ryan, [promoter] Eddie Hearn and Matchroom Boxing for the opportunity. I had the best camp and preparation for this fight, [there was] nothing more I could’ve done. Sometimes you just get beat by the better person. A big thank you to all my team and [trainer] Stefy Bull for having my health as priority. Thank you to my sponsors and everyone who came out to support last night, I'm gutted to not get the win. Going to switch off and spend my time with loved ones before getting back in the gym to rebuild. I’m home and safe and that’s all that matters. In the end I only took 

Ryan for a paddle [and not into] deep waters. Congrats, champ."
