Cesar Juarez will take on Isaac Dogboe for an interim Hunior Featherweight title on January 6th in Accra, Ghana, according to Dab Rafael of espn.com.
Juarez will due to fight Jessie Magdaleno before Magdaleno pulled out with an injury.
“So we’re going to Ghana in Africa,” Juarez manager Sean Gibbons said. “I’m not concerned about Dogboe. I think Juarez has more heart and more determination and is a better fighter. I’m more concerned with the judging than the fight, and being in a country we’ve never been to. Dogboe is a nice fighter but he’s never been under the kind of stress Cesar Juarez will bring to the table.
“Are we happy to go to Ghana though? Not really. We’d rather have been in Fresno to fight Magdaleno like we were supposed to, like we signed to do. But it didn’t happen so we’ll be on our way to Africa.”
