Isaac Dogbe never donated GH¢100,000 to the GBA after winning world title

The President of the Ghana Boxing Authority (GBA), Abraham Kotei Neequaye, has disclosed that boxer, Isaac Dogbe, did not pay an amount of GH¢100,000 to his outfit after winning a world title.

According to him, although the boxer promised to donate such an amount as part of his contribution to the boxing body, it never materialised.

A promotion firm named ‘Niche,’ for whom Dogbe was a brand ambassador, was supposed to make the payment, but they have not done so yet, he said.

He stated that his attempts to get the money paid have been fruitless, as the owner of the company claimed the deal was done in his absence.

“I’m saying it here that Isaac Dogbe did not pay GH¢100,000. He came to Ghana, and I know people have calculated how much he made out of his fight. The group that came to donate that thing, Niche, said they were donating it to us during the program.

“After we stopped following up, the manager said the owner of the business claimed he wasn’t around when they came to do that,” he said during an interview with JoySports.

However, Neequaye indicated that Dogbe gave the boxing authority $150 when he visited the Ga Mantse’s Palace in Accra.

“In the house of our chief, we went there to visit Ga Mantse, and there, Isaac Dogbe gave the Ghana Boxing Authority $150 at that time,” he clarified.

This comes after several reports stated that Dogbe had given GH¢100,000 to the GBA as part of his contribution from the money he earned from the bout.

In 2018, Isaac Dogboe won the WBO World Super Bantamweight title to become Ghana’s youngest world champion ever, he broke the record of former Ghanaian boxing great, Ike Quartey who won his first World championship at age 25.

The boxer has taken a short break from the sport following his defeat to Cuban Robeisy Ramirez in the WBO featherweight title fight.
