I will come out with the victory on April 1 – Isaac Dogboe vows
Ghana’s Isaac Dogboe is ready to write history, as he faces Cuban southpaw Robeisy Ramirez on Saturday, 1st of April, at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Tulsa.
“The Royal Storm” feels great ahead of his second world title bout in his career after losing twice to Navarrete, but has since won his last four fights against good opposition and is ready to become a time and division champion.
The former world beater is confident of victory, as expressed during their pre-fight press conference organised by Top Rank
“I feel great. They say that the third time’s a charm. The first time was great. The second time wasn’t all that great. But I feel great about this trip.”
“I’m always hopeful. If I say I’m going to do something, I’m always going to show up. I thank God for giving me that mental fortitude. That’s why everything that has transpired in my boxing career has happened.” He said.
Dogboe admits the “tough” opposition in Robeisy Ramirez but is bullishly confident of going past him come tomorrow for his second world title.
“I have a second chance now. I know that Robeisy is tough. He is a good fighter. But I know that we will come out with the victory on April 1.” Dogboe stated.
Robeisy Ramirez took his turn and, like Dogboe, was cautiously optimistic
“This title opportunity means everything. We are ready. I’ve come to fight the best. And now we are here. When I say that I’m ready, it’s because I’ve passed through the process. It’s all about the process. Life shows you that if you don’t pass through the process, things can happen. So, the opportunity has come at the right moment. I am ready.”
“This camp has been totally different. We did lots of new things with my strength and conditioning coach. But we are ready for this fight and for the fights that happen after.”
“{Trainer} Ismael Salas is a strategist. He is an excellent teacher. He has many world champions, and he has been doing this for many years. Salas has given me the confidence, knowledge, and dexterity to bring out the best of me in the ring. Working with him has been the best thing that has happened to my career.” Ramirez expressed.
