Boxing legend and hall of famer Azumah Nelson has backed Dogboe to take stock of his career and come back to boxing stronger than before.
“Dogboe is still young; he is just 23 years and can still come back. It is not by force to fight again, he needs to relax for two to three years and learn from his mistakes. He should forget about boxing for now because he needs to learn more about defense. He should go back to school and learn,” The Self Styled ‘Professor’ said in an interview with a local radio station based in the capital, Accra.
His comments comes after Paul Dogboe who doubles as father and trainer of Ghana’s Isaac Dogboe, on a spell of the moment, called for his son to retire from the art of pugilism and rather concentrate on his education after a bitter defeat to Mexican Navarrete for the second time in five months.
“I will not impose my will on him. However, I think he has had enough. I want him to return to school and continue his course and take another path in life. We worked hard but were unsuccessful at overcoming Navarette.” Paul Dogboe expressed.
Though ‘the Royal Storm’ Dogboe is yet to make any statement aside his earlier message to the fans which read;
“Thanks to God for the gift of life, and thanks all to my supporters and loved once , I appreciate you all, Unfortunately, I came up short last night but am in good health no serious injuries. Will keep you updated on what the future holds for team Dogboe. Yours sincerely.” Dogboe posted on his handle.
He is yet to make any statement or decision aside what has been put forward. But close sources say he is taking the advise by Azumah Nelson seriously.
