Isaac Dogboe is 2017 SWAG Sports Personality

New WBC Super Bantamweight Champion, Isaac Dogboe, was named the 2017 SWAG Sports Personality at an event held in Accra on Friday.

Despite Dogboe’s capture of the world title happening in 2018, 2017 was when he became the number one contender to face Jesse Magdelano for the title. He defeated Cesar Juarez in Accra to put him on the path to bantamweight glory.

He was also named Professional boxer of the year.

The Black Stars B team was the national team of the year for winning the WAFU Zone B tournament.

Aduana Stars and Ampem Darkoa were named the Male and Female football club year respectively.

Ghana Rugby Association, Herbert Mensah, was the Association President of the year.
