Mexico’s Cesar Juarez sees his fistic clash against Ghana’s Isaac Dogboe as a ‘war between Mexico and Ghana.’
The two hard punchers will battle each other on January 6th at the Bukom Boxing Arena for the interim WBO World super bantamweight title.
The winner between Juarez – Dogboe will face regular WBO World super bantamweight champion Jesse Magaleno who is currently injured.
Ahead of the upcoming fight, the Mexican has been talking tough, he said:
“First the fight was going to be with Magdaleno but he could not defend his title, and then later he went with Marlon Tapales, a very strong Filipino who comes from being world champion and he said he was not ready to fight me, I guess he measured the danger because in the Philippines everyone knows me and they even gave me the name of the ‘Devourer of Filipinos’.
“And finally it will be Dogboe who said he was ready. I’m going to give a good fight, he’s a very tough and complete opponent. Speaking in boxing terms – they say he’s the best fighter in Africa since Azumah Nelson, so it’s going to be a war between Mexico and Ghana and I’m sure we’re going to win.”
Meanwhile, Juarez and his team arrived in Ghana last Friday and they are currently lodging at the Alisa Hotel.
