Government to honour Isaac Dogboe

Youth and Sports Minister, Isaac Asiamah, has revealed that government will reward Isaac Dogboe handsomely for defending the flag of Ghana last Saturday at the Bukom Boxing Arena.

Dogboe (18-0, 12 KOs) made Ghanaians proud by stopping Mexico’s Cesar Juarez (20-6, 15KOs) in round five to win the interim WBO World super bantamweight belt.

Mr. Asiamah was at ring side as he watched the 23 year-old battered his Mexican opponent, and after the fight he revealed government’s plan to reward the former Olympian.

“In the coming weeks you will hear from government. I can promise you that the President would reward Dogboe handsomely for his performance tonight,” he said.

“I am so proud of him and all I can say now is that he is so focused, determined and disciplined and that is what every boxer needs to attain greater heights in the country.”

With the win, Dogboe is now in line to face full WBO World super bantamweight champion Jessie Magdaleno who is currently injured.
