President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has encouraged and urged Ghana’s World Boxing Organisation Super Bantamweight Champion, Isaac Dogboe to stay focused.
In a tweeted message, President Akufo-Addo says he is confident that Dogboe, will return to the ring much stronger after the young boxer suffered defeat at his second title defense in New York.
The Boxing Icon, Isaac Dogboe was given a rude shock of his life when he was handed a humiliating defeat by Emmanual Navarrete, in the second defence of his World Boxing Organisation (WBO) Super Batamweight title at the Madison Square Garden, United States of America (USA), Sunday morning.
It was Dogboe’s first defeat in the professional ranks, as the huge Navarrete, who has a huge height and reach advantage, landed some clean hard body punches, that visibly hurt Dogboe.
The Ghanaian, was then compelled to move backwards in the ring, which was never his modus operandi.
At the end, all the three judges scored 115-113, 116-112 and 116-112, in favour of the Mexican, ending the eight month reign of Dogboe.
President Akufo-Addo in a tweet said: Better luck next time to the Royal Storm, Isaac Dogboe. I am confident you’ll bounce back even stronger. Keep your head up.”
