Ghanaian boxing sensation Isaac Dogboe made light work of his Japanese opponent Hidenori Otake in his first WBO Super Bantamweight title defence, finishing off the veteran after just a minute and 30 seconds into the first round.<\/p>\n

The 25 year old, with this victory, becomes the youngest Ghanaian to successfully retain his crown.<\/p>\n

Dogboe started the sharper of the two, and wasted no time in asserting his authority on the bout, knocking down Otake with a powerful left hook in the second minute of the first round.<\/p>\n

The Japanese managed to beat the count, but couldn\u2019t stand the heat after Dogboe followed up with a flurry of devastating shots causing the referee to intervene and wave off the fight.<\/p>\n

Dogboe, who promised to knockout Otake pre-bout, most certainly lived up to that promise in style, handing Otake his first ever career knockout.<\/p>\n

Dogboe captured the WBO crown earlier this year after beating American Jessie Magdaleno via an 11th TKO.<\/p>\n

The Ghanaian spike of his intentions to unify the Super Bantamweight division after dispatching off Otake, and will now be eying the WBC, IBF and WBA belts.<\/p>\n
