Ghana world title hopeful, Isaac Dogboe (16-0, 10 KO’s), will now face Argentina’s Javier Nicholas Chacon (23-3-1, 7 KO’s) instead of Claudio Fernando Echegaray on July 22nd at the Bukom Boxing Arena, Sportscrusader.com can confirm.

Dogboe’s camp last week announced that the undefeated hard puncher will make the first defense of his WBO international super bantamweight belt against Echegaray.

But according to Dogboe’s father, Paul Dogboe, Echegaray failed to sign the proposed contract because he is scared of his son.

“They are afraid of my son, they don’t want to fight him. Echegaray didn’t take up the fight because he is scared of Isaac [Dogboe],” senior Dogboe told Sportscrusader.com.

“Isaac Dogboe will defend his WBO international title against Chacon and that fight will also serve as final eliminator. The WBO title is been held by Jesse Magdaleno and our target is that belt,” he concluded.
