Ghana’ s World Boxing Organisation (WBO) International super bantamweight champion, Isaac Dogbe, will face Jesus Gabriel Magdaleno for the WBO world junior featherweight (super bantamweight) championship on April 23 in Australia.
Dogbe who currently holds the World Boxing Council (WBC) world youth super bantamweight title and the WBO International super bantamweight belt, is confident victory against the undefeated American will secure him a world title shot.
A close member of the boxer’s camp revealed that the fight contract will be signed by the end of February and that the bout is expected to be on the undercard of the Manny Pacquiao-Jeff Horn heavyweight bout later this year.
The 22-year old was declared the best boxer in 2016 by the WBO and is currently unbeaten in 16 outings, while his opponent, Magdaleno, 25, is also undefeated in 24 fights.
