A rematch with Isaac Dogboe has been all but ruled out by the camp of Robeisy Ramirez, the newly crowned WBO Featherweight champion.
Despite having the chance to win the world championship once more last Saturday, Ramirez prevailed in a unanimous decision over Dogboe.
The 28-year-old was outclassed by his Cuban opponent and was unable to overcome a shaky beginning. Ramirez won the fight by scores of 117-110, 118-109, and 119-108 according to the judges.
After the fight, Dogboe praised his opponent as a great fighter and expressed respect for him, but he was quick to ignore the outcome.
Massive thanks to @toprank @CarlMoretti and @bobarum for the many opportunities given to me. I am really grateful. Will Return in the ring soon. Thank you all for your unflinching support.

The Ghanaian challenged Ramirez to prove he is a true champion by agreeing to a rematch despite losing the WBO Featherweight world championship.
“All I have to say is, God is still king, praise be to the Lord Almighty. I thank God for this opportunity once again,” the Ghanaian boxer said.

“But you know what, Robeisy Ramirez is a terrific fighter but the result is bullshit. That knockdown was no knockdown. You talk about dictatorship, that was a dictatorship result right there.”
“Let’s run it back, that’s all I can say, it’s a re-match. If he is a true champion, let’s run it back for Cuba and for the rest of the people he claims to represent.”

Following Dogboe’s third consecutive defeat in a title fight, Ramirez’s team member Larry Wade responded by saying they don’t see the need for a rematch.
“No, I don’t see it happening, there is really no need. At the end of the day, Robeisy has earned the title, big unanimous decision. Dogbe has been in I think three of these now – winning one of them,” Wade said, as quoted by Joy Sports.
“There’s really no upside I believe, for us. If they force it of course, Robeisy will take the fight but I just don’t see the upside.”
After participating in 27 fights, Dogboe has now suffered three defeats in his professional boxing career.
