Dogboe Fights Genesis Servania On December 8

Filipino super-bantamweight contender, Genesis Servania, says he wants to challenge WBO super bantamweight champion, Isaac “Royal Storm” Dogboe on December 8, 2018.

Servania who has a record of (32-1, 15 KOs) wants to fight Dogboe (20-0, 14 KOs) when the Ghanaian makes his second world title defence on December 8 on the Vasyl Lomachenko-Jose Pedraza card at the Hulu Theatre at the Madison Square Garden in New York.

Servania speaking after his three knockout victories over Mexico’s Carlos Carlson on Friday, the Filipino boxer said of Dogboe: “I would love to fight him and I feel I can beat him”.

Servania had landed himself a shot at the WBO super bantamweight strap after Top Rank promoter, Bob Arum, declared that should the Filipino wins against Carlson, next in line would be Dogboe, who is expected to make a defence of the crown on December 8 in New York.

Dogboe has won three major fights in 2018 after defeating Cesar Juarez, Jessie Magdaleno and Hidenori Otake.

Dogboe could be ending the year on an impressive record having dispatched Cesar Juarez, Jessie Magdaleno and Hidenori Otake in knockout victories. He started the year on a high after defeating Mexican Cesar Juarez via a fifth-round TKO on January 6 in Accra to win the WBO Interim super bantamweight title.

On April 28, the 24-year-old Ghanaian knocked out Magdaleno in the 11th round to win the WBO title before ensuring an emphatic first-round stoppage over Japan’s Otake with a first round stoppage in Glendale, Arizona on August 25.

Servania on the other hand, is undefeated in his last three fights with two knockout wins in 2018 over Jason Butar Butar and Carlos Carlson, and will hope to make a significant impact against Dogboe when he gets his second shot at a world title.

Having lost his maiden world title shot to Oscar Valdez in a unanimous decision in 2017, Servania will have to work tirelessly against the hard-hitting Dogboe who has ended his last five bouts within the distance.
