All is set for Ghana's Isaac 'Royal Storm' Dogboe to square off with Argentine Javier Nicholas Chacon in the WBO International Super Bantamweight title tonight at the Bukom Boxing Arena. 

Dogboe (16-0, 10 KOs) and Javier  Argentina (25-3-1, 7 KOs) both made similar weight of 121.1 lbs on Friday.

Dubbed ‘Road to Las Vegas,’ the fight will be officiated by renowned American boxing referee, Tony Weeks who has been in Ghana for nearly a week now, and on Wednesday conducted a one-day ring officiating course for Ghanaian boxing officials, trainers, boxers, media and enthusiasts.

It will be the first defence of the belt won by the undefeated Dogboe, when he knocked  out another Argentine, Julian Evaristo Aristule in New Zealand December last year.

It will also be the first time the 22-year-old will fight at the Bukom Boxing Arena, the new home of Ghana boxing which was commissioned last year.

Boxing lovers and several dignitaries are expected to troop to the venue to support the Ghanaian to victory. 

Many have described the fight as a walk over for Dogboe who has enjoyed some dominance in recent times. 

A win would give Dogboe a shot at the World Title, a dream the boxer hopes to achieve by the end of the year.
