Isaac Dogboe defeated Joet Gonzalez via a split decision to earn a second chance at the world featherweight championship.

The fight, which was a WBC final eliminator for the world title took place at the Grand Casino Hinckley in the United States.

The judges declared Dogboe the winner, and he will now have another opportunity to compete for the world championship. It was a very close battle, with both fighters narrowly beating one another at various moments.

The former WBO super-bantamweight champion was defeated in the rematch a few months after losing his world title to Emmanuel Navarette in 2018.

Since then, Dogboe has travelled a far way back in his quest for a return, which saw the former world champion take a break from the sport.

As he strives to become a two-time world champion, Dogboe has his sights set on Josh Warrington, the IBF Featherweight champion.
