Dogboe (20-0, 14 KOs) says he is focused on another emphatic victory against the Mexican which would improve his professional record to 21 wins in as many fights.
The 24-year-old Ghanaian has commenced preparations towards his fourth and final fight of the year and is looking forward to another big win having already dispatched Cesar Juarez in January, Jessie Magdaleno in April and Hidenori Otake on August 25.
Dogboe took to his official Twitter handle and wrote, "December 8th 2018. See in New York City. Victory number 21. KnockOut number 15. #NeHo #DogboeNavarrete #IsaacDogboe #RoyalStorm
Meanwhile, Navarrete (25-1, 22 KOs), who is on an eight-knockout winning streak, has vowed to dethrone high-flying Dogboe in his maiden world title shot.
In an interview with boxingscene.com, Navarrete said “This is the opportunity I was waiting for. I have a lot of respect for Isaac Dogboe, but this title will be mine.
"I feel very happy and motivated by this opportunity, even more, because of fighting in New York City. I know that from December 8 forward, the name Emanuel Navarrete will be known all around the world. I’m sure this win will be mine," he added.
But Dogboe is looking forward to a successful title defence on December 8 in order to realise his wish of unifying the division next year against either WBC champion, Rey Vargas or WBA titlist, Daniel Roman.
He is however hopeful of a sixth straight stoppage against Navarrete having destroyed his previous five opponents in the ring. Read Full Story
