Ghanaian young boxer Isaac Dogboe was defeated again by Mexican Emmanuel Navarette in World Boxing Organization junior bantamweight rematch.
Dogboe was landed on the floor in the 12th round of the bout via a technical knockout by Navarette at the Convention Centre in Tucson, Arizona yesterday, May 11, 2019.
The first round was a good round for the Ghanaian boxer but could not contain the uncontrollable punches from the Mexican in the subsequent rounds. The twelfth round was a hell for the boxer and had to give up for Navarette to maintain his title.
“The fight was not over. It is not over until it actually is. Hats off to him. He did a great job being the champion”, Dogboe said after the bout.
Dogboe lost the title in December. Five months on, he has lost it again to the same man which is never a good look on any boxer.
“I would love to let everyone be aware that the Super Bantamweight division is becoming very challenging for me to make the weight. My next fight, I will be moving to the 126kg division. I believe that I will much more comfortable at that level. It is a struggle making 122kg. We will surely meet again,” Dogboe added when he was asked about his next move, his future.
