Former Ghanaian Welter weight champion Ike “Bazooka’ Quartey is set to bestow his wealth of experience on Isaac Dogboe following his victory over Javier Chacon.
Quartey who in his prime successfully defended his Welterweight crown seven times has joined the Ghana Boxing Authority in an official capacity as a technical director.

The 22-year-old Super Bantamweight champion is slated to go up against Mexican boxer Jessie Magdaleno for the WBO super bantamweight title either in November or December.
He will be pitching camp in the United Kingdom ahead of his big world title shot.
