Abdul reiterated his disappointment with the referee's officiating standard during the international tournament.
"There were a lot of fouls," Abdul said. "This referee's decision is not right and I am not happy.
Of course it's unfair.
When you watch the previous fights of England, their boxers create a lot of fouls and they play a lot of bull----.
I am a black African, I know. I don't [know] why the officials are scared about this fight."
Pre-Fight Confidence
Prior to the match, Abdul had expressed confidence in his preparation and referenced his personal motivations.
"In everything we do, God knows tomorrow," Abdul said. "It's God's plan.
I might be the new King of Scotland. It's possible.
When I arrived, I put up the flag, 'cause I like Scotland so much."
He emphasized his goal of securing a medal for Uganda before entering the ring.
"Our first medal will be won tomorrow. No excuse," Abdul said.
"That's why I'm here. I have that dream that I'm gonna go back with gold medal.
That's the reason I'm here in Glasgow right now. I want to do something for my country.
I think the day is tomorrow for them to recognise me and for the world to recognise me.
I want to be known as the Ringo the boxer."
Abdul spoke about his boxing career and his desire to follow in the athletic footsteps of his grandfather.
