Dogboe stops Aristule to win WBO title in New Zealand

Ghana’s Isaac Dogboe last Saturday won the WBO International super-bantamweight title after defeating  Argentina’s Julian Evaristo Aristule at the Vector Arena in Auckland, New Zealand . The fight was on the undercard of the Joseph Parker versus Andy Ruiz WBO world heavyweight championship.

By that victory, Dogboe, 22, who is fast establishing himself as an accomplished boxer improved his undefeated career record to 16-0, 10 KOs.

He completely taught the vastly experienced Aristule (now 32-7, 16 KOs) a lot of boxing lessons before finally knocking him out in the seventh round.

By that victory, Dogboe, who was recently named the WBO’s African Boxer of the Year, underlined his credentials that he could potentially earn a shot at Magdaleno early next year.

In the main bout, Joseph Parker won the WBO heavyweight world title, courtesy a close majority decision, 114-114, 115-113, 115-113 over Andy Ruiz,  while Jeff Horn won a sixth-round TKO over Ali Funenka on another undercard.
