"We had a world title fight turned down, so we just get back up and fight again.
"It's boxing, it happens, you just get on with life," Berridge said.
"That's how I thought boxing works, and when you get a chance to fight, then you fight.
"But there's jumping the queues and all that as well, so you just keeping plugging away, man. We've been doing it for the last five years."
After missing out on being Kovalev's third title defence, Duco co-owner Dean Lonergan said Berridge could fight on an August card in Pennsylvania that will be headlined by Ukrainian heavyweight Vyacheslav Glazkov.
It would be the smart move to go Stateside given Capello fought on American television in January, taking a lopsided points decision over Elvir Muriqi, to increase his profile in that market.
To that end, it is unlikely Berridge will want to step backwards and settle the score with Taihia, a fight that has now been on-and-off for over a year due to injuries and negotiation breakdowns.
"It was up to the [management] camps, again, I'm just the fighter, so that's up to Duco and Vasco [Kovaevi]," said Berridge over why no return date was set with Taihia (12-1-2).
"He's been calling me out all the time but that means nothing, really. It's not 'if I call you out as many times as possible, I'm going to fight you'."
Berridge said the doctor told him his knuckle injury should be "just a one-off" and he continued with his fitness training while waiting for the time to start sparring again.
"Just have that bruising go down and look after it. Now that I'm punching again, just have good wraps."
He admits he has done little research on Damasco, who has had all his fights in his native Brazil.
Debuting last year, after draws in his first two bouts the Brazilian won nine fights until being knocked out in a WBO Latino light heavyweight title match with Isidro Ranoni Prieto in February.
Damasco has since won his last three bouts, all by stoppage.
"I just know he's 12-1 with 12 KO's so it's obviously going to be a hard fight," said Berridge.
