Isaac Dogboe’s father borrowed money for son’s bouts, now faces legal troubles!

Isaac Dogboe’s father, Paul Dogboe, has revealed that he borrowed money to support his son’s boxing matches and is currently facing legal action from sponsors.

Isaac Dogboe, a former WBO Super Bantamweight Champion, officially parted ways with his father as his manager two years ago, a decision made without any animosity.

During an exclusive interview on Happy FM’s Wamputu Sports, Paul Dogboe shared the challenges he has faced in repaying the debts accumulated from financing Isaac Dogboe’s bouts.

As his son switched trainers, Paul Dogboe found himself burdened with outstanding financial obligations.

“I borrowed money to fund Isaac Dogboe’s bouts when I was still his trainer. It took over 11 years of investment and hard work to establish Isaac’s presence in the world of boxing,” Paul Dogboe expressed.

Recently, Paul Dogboe faced humiliation at the airport due to an unresolved lawsuit over unpaid debts related to financing Isaac’s fights. Various sponsors, including Uncle Mitch and others, provided financial support to facilitate Isaac’s matches.

Paul Dogboe emphasized that he does not seek anything from his son, but he expects him to honor his financial responsibilities.

Paul Dogboe, a former British Army officer, played a pivotal role in guiding his son to win the world title in April 2018 after defeating Jessie Magdaleno. Isaac Dogboe, who represented Ghana in the London 2012 Olympics, turned professional thereafter.

Along his journey to becoming the WBO champion, he secured victories against notable opponents such as John Neil Tabanao of the Philippines, Julian Aristule of Argentina, and the Mexican duo Javier Chacon and Caesar Juarez.

However, the 26-year-old boxer experienced a setback in his pursuit of becoming a two-division world champion.

Under the guidance of trainers Barry Hunter and Patrice Harris, Isaac Dogboe lost the WBO Featherweight world title fight to Cuban boxer Robeisy Ramirez in April.
