Ghanaian boxer Isaac Dogboe's (18-0, 12 KOs) World title bout against WBO world super bantamweight champion Jessie Magdaleno (25-0, 18 KOs) has been postponed to April 28, 2018.

The much-anticipated bout was scheduled for April 14 at the Liacouras Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania but has now been moved to the 28th.

The bout was originally set to be the co-feature to Terence Crawford’s showdown versus Jeff Horn.

That entire card, which was scheduled for April 14th at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, Nevada, has been postponed because of an injury to Crawford’s right hand during a sparring session.

Isaac “Royal Storm” Dogboe maintained his 100 percent record as he knocked down Cesar Juarez in the 5th round of WBO Interim Junior Featherweight title at the Bukom Boxing Arena in Accra in January.

This victory gives Dogboe the chance to win the WBO title as he now faces Magdaleno on April 28.

Dogbe-Magdaleno will now have the opportunity of preparing adequately for the bout as fans are relishing a cagey encounter.
