"Dogboe is well prepared for the fight and will definitely go for a knockout but will welcome a convincing win as well.
"It is going to be a tough fight, especially with his opponent being a knockout specialist but I can assure Ghanaians that he will definitely fall," he added.
Paul, who was keen on ensuring a vital victory over Chachon, said they were ready to add a win on the night and a world title for Ghanaians soon.
