Isaac Dogboe beats Gonzalez to set up World title fight

Ghana’s Isaac Dogboe, has defeated Joet Gonzalez via a split decision, to set up another world title shot in the Featherweight division.

The contest, which took place at the Grand Casino Hinckley, USA, was a WBC final eliminator for the World Title.

It was a very close fight with both boxers edging each other out at various points in the fight, but Dogboe came out victorious according to the judges and now has another shot at the World title.

Speaking after the bout, Isaac Dogboe, described his journey as a “Hollywood blockbuster movie.”

“I said to the people that my journey can be a Hollywood blockbuster movie, and I praise God always,” he said after the fight.

Navarrete defeated Dogboe back-to-back in December 2018 and May 2019. The Mexican won the first via unanimous decision, before dropping him twice and stopping him in the 12th round in a rematch five months later.

The Ghanaian has since won four straight fights since Navarrete beat him in their rematch, and he’s open to a new challenge.

“Whoever the champions are, they should watch out. The ‘Royal Storm,’ I am back, baby!” he called out.

Dogboe’s fight against Gonzalez was a WBC elimination bout, which also puts him in contention to fight WBC’s mandatory challenger for its newly crowned featherweight champion, Rey Vargas (36-0, 22 KOs).
