Ghana's Isaac 'Royal Storm' Dogboe and Julian Evaristo Aristule of Argentina both made a weight of 121.8 lbs on Friday ahead of their fight for the vacant WBO International and Aristule's WBO Latino super bantamweight titles as well as final eliminator for the world title held by American Jesse Magdaleno tomorrow in New Zealand.

Undefeated Dogboe (15-0, 9 KOs) faces the vastly experienced Aristule (32-6, 16 KOs) on the undercard of the Joseph Parker versus Andy Ruiz WBO world heavyweight championship at the Vector Arena in Auckland in the early hours of Saturday Ghanaian time.

"We have worked hard and very confident of making our country Ghana proud, it's the best gift we can give them after another peaceful elections. We assure all Ghanaians of a knockout victory, we are bringing the titles home," said Paul Dogboe, father and trainer of the boxer.
