Ghana-based Green Sports Academy has congratulated Isaac Dogboe on his win over Joet Gonzalez.
The former world champion beat the American on a split decision on Saturday in Hinckley, Minnesota.
One judge scored it 96-94 for Gonzalez, but that was overruled by Dogboe’s twin scores of 96-94.
With the win, Dogboe, a former 122-pound champion, has become the top contender for Rey Vargas’ 126-pound title.
In a statement signed by General Manager Ernest Buamah, Green Sports Academy said; “Dogboe has demonstrated that a hero’s downfall is not the end of his or her career.”
“Your quest to become a world champion is getting closer; you continue to be a shining icon for this generation, and we hold you in high regard.”
Green Sports Academy is a sporting organization that was founded to identify and develop talents, as well as to nurture those talents into professionals of international renown.
The Academy organises sporting competitions and workshops in and around its catchment area to find new talent. This programme is aimed at young people aged 10 to 23.
The organization has a football team that is preparing to compete in Ghana’s Division Three league.
