Ghana’s boxing sensation, Isaac Dogbe is fine tuning preparations ahead of his mega bout against Argentine Javier Chacon Nicholas later this month.

The WBO international super bantamweight champion organised a special media session during his workout on Thursday morning at the Bukom Boxing Arena.

Nicknamed the ‘Royal Storm, Dogboe will be making his first defense of his WBO international super bantamweight strap against former world title contender on July 22.

The former Olympian had a workout with his father and trainer Paul Dogboe which lasted close to 35 minutes. The 22 year-old hard puncher also had 20 minutes of shadow boxing.

Dogboe was joined by undecard fighters that include, Wassiu Mohammed, Enoch Lamptey, Prince Oko Nartey and Agyemang Prempeh.

“We have less than three weeks for the fight, and preparations has been great. I’m ready for Chacon”, Dogboe told Ghanacrusader.

“Chacon is the last person i have to clear before getting a shot at the world title and believe me he will go down on July 22nd. It is going to be a great fight because Chacon is an experience fighter, he has challenged for the world title before but irrespective of that he will surely go down.”

“I want my fans to fill the arena on July 22nd because i will make them proud and also defend the flag of Ghana.”

Dogboe, who holds a record 16 wins from 16 fights, is expected to slug it out with the Argentinian (25 wins, 3 loss and a draw in 29 fights) in a Final Eliminator towards a world title shot.
