Ghana’s Brave Son, Super Bantamweight Isaac Dogboe, New Champion of 2018
By Robert Brizel, Head Real Combat Media Boxing Correspondent
Accra, Ghana (January 7th, 2017)– 2018 has a new World Boxing Organization Interim World Super Bantamweight champion in Isaac ‘Brave Son’ Dogboe, 18-0 with 12 knockouts, Accra Ghana. Dogboe is perhaps the best world champion to come out of Ghana since Azumah Nelson. Dogboe’s first eight fights put him everywhere from Switzerland to Ireland, from Arizona to California. His fights thereafter have all been in Accra.
On January 6, 2017, Dogboe landed a monster left hook, the punch of the year so far, to drop and stop Cesar Juarez and to win the vacant interim WBO World Super Bantamweight title at Bukhom Boxing Arena in Accra, Ghana, his first world title.
At 23 years old, Dogboe is in his fifth year as a professional, and hard work and talent shine in the divisional successor to Guillermo Rigondeaux. Dogboe is now headed on a confrontational collision course for a WBO confrontational showdown with the Las Vegas 25-0 southpaw regular WBO Super Bantamweight World champion Jessie Magdaleno on March 10, 2017, at the StubHub Center in Los Angeles, California. Magdaleno has no opponent as yet scheduled. If given the bout, Dogboe will travel. Dogboe has fought and won in California twice during his career, so the locale should not be an issue.
