Some Ghanaians have advised Isaac Dogboe to stick with his new coach, Barry Hunter, if he really is determined to become a world champion again in future.
After a 14-months lay off, the Ghanaian stopped his American opponent, Chris Avalos, in the eighth round to mark his return to the ring.
Referee Russell Mora ended the bout because Isaac’s punches were too much for Avalos to handle.
The Royal Storm recorded his 15th-knockout in 21 professional fights at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on Tuesday night.
While many Ghanaians missed the fight, some dedicated boxing fans kept wake in Bukom, the home of Ghana boxing, to watch the former WBO junior-featherweight champion fight.
The fans, who were impressed with the 25-year-old’s win over his opponent, wants the boxer to stick to his new trainer. According to them, the ‘Neho’ hitman has improved his style of boxing and regained much strength.
Whiles others hailed the boxers improvement at swerving punches, some others suggested that Dogboe must add more jabs and a few hooks to his techniques.
Another individual who spoke to TV3 was optimistic that the boxer could become a world champion again if he sticks to the principles of his new coach.
“I have watched a lot of Dogboe’s fights in the past, so I wanted to watch this to see if there has been an improvement and indeed there has been a lot of changes. His body swerves, jabs and pullovers are very good for me. His new coach should continue to train him to his best till we get the world title because it’s the world title that we want. So I urge Dogboe to train hard and learn more.”
Dogboe’s new trainer is known for coaching boxer Lamont Peterson, a three-time welterweight champion.

Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Dr. Dominic Ayine, has announced that the government has accepted the recommendation to abolish the death penalty and replace it with life imprisonment as part of the constitutional review process.
He said the proposed amendment would affect Articles 3, 13, 19 and 72 of the 1992 Constitution, with offences that previously attracted the death penalty instead carrying life imprisonment.
Dr. Ayine made the announcement on July 30, 2026, at the Jubilee House in Accra during the Government Accountability Series while outlining the government’s position on the final recommendations of the Constitution Review Committee.
According to him, the government believes the death penalty is inconsistent with the constitutional right to life and Ghana’s international human rights obligations.
He explained that the recommendation forms part of broader proposals aimed at strengthening the protection of fundamental human rights under the Constitution.
Dr. Ayine said the government had also accepted the spirit of several recommendations to expand rights relating to women, children, persons with disabilities, older persons and the youth.
He added that a comprehensive Human Rights Act would be introduced to protect these rights and provide detailed enforcement mechanisms instead of amending the entrenched provisions of the Constitution through a national referendum.
