Newly crowned WBO welterweight champion Jeff Horn has arrived in the USA for ESPN Awards in Los Angeles on Thursday but has vowed not to talk to Teddy Atlas who said to him after he defeated Manny Pacquiao “Congratulations – I thought you lost”

“I have nothing to say to Teddy Atlas,” Horn told Grantlee Kieza of the Courier Mail. “I’m not a fan anymore. He kind of annoyed me a little bit after the fight. I’m on a high after winning and he’s tried to drag me down straight away. It’s disappointing.”

Horn called the WBO’s decision a ‘big relief’ that allowed him to go to the U.S. for the ESPN Awards with confidence.

“To win the fight, and to think that I’ve won the fight and then for everyone to go after you and say ‘you didn’t win the fight’… it’s frustrating but then to have this finally makes it a bit easier to go over to the US,” he told Fox Sports.
