Dogboe ready for Aristule as he fights in New Zealand tomorrow
When Ghanaian boxer, Isaac ‘Royal Storm’ Dogboe, steps into the ring tomorrow against Argentina’s Julian Evaristo Aristule in Auckland, New Zealand, he would be guided by his determination to conquer the world in the coming years.

The 22-year-old has set for himself a target within which he intends to become a world champion, and fighting in a WBO Super bantamweight eliminator tomorrow would be another fine opportunity for the young Ghanaian to announce his readiness to etch his name in the annals of world boxing.
Dogboe is scheduled to fight on the undercard of Joseph Parker vs Andy Ruiz WBO World Heavyweight Championship in New Zealand and this eliminator would be a stepping stone towards an eventual world title feat.
Dogboe goes into the fight against a more experienced opponent who is 11 years older and has a better ring record. Nonetheless, the ‘Royal Storm’s (15-0, 9 KOs) will be counting on youth and strength to face 33-year old Aristule would be counting on his enviable record as his main trump card to stop the Argentine with equally impressive record (32-6, 16 KOs).
At age 33, one would expect to be a bit sluggish against much younger Dogboe who is brave and with the ability to take on tough challenges and with his dad expected to be at his corner Dogboe may not have any problem in the ring.
Even more dreadful about Dogboe is his swift and ability to effectively combine jabs and punches that sting and would daze opponents at any time.
Indeed if he is able to display what he did against John Neil Tabanao from the Philippines in last August then he could sail through.
The Ghanaian featherweight boxer must step down in weight to be able to fight the junior featherweight boxer and he believes that wouldn’t be a difficult thing for him as he was determined to scale that hurdle in his pursuit for a world champion.
