John Laryea: I'm unstoppable

Two-time WBO Africa featherweight champion and former national featherweight champion, John Laryea, is preparing for a crucial championship title fight in Orlando, Florida, this August. 

The 23-year-old undefeated boxer, with a professional record of 14 bouts, including one draw, is confident about his prospects for a world title this year.

"Currently, I am ranked third worldwide and first on the continent. I am ready for any boxer and can't wait to win the world title," Laryea told Graphic Sports in an interview.

Known as 'The Expensive Boxer', Laryea has recently returned to Ghana after honing his skills and competing against top fighters abroad. He believes the Orlando bout will enhance his world ranking and prime him for a world title shot this fall.

"I have made my case. Everyone now knows what John Laryea is capable of and can attest to my prowess. I simply cannot be stopped by any opponent," he declared.

Laryea credits his trainer Carl Lokko and manager Samuel Anim Addo for their significant roles in his career. He particularly appreciates Mr Anim Addo for his unwavering support during challenging times.

"Mr Anim Addo has been my pillar. He is behind my success, and I appreciate him for that," Laryea said.

As he looks forward to his upcoming fight in Orlando against a yet-to-be-named opponent, Laryea remains focused on his ultimate goal: winning a world title.

"The pinnacle of boxing is to win a world title, and I am fired up for that," he stated. He emphasised the importance of the Orlando bout for improving his rating and ranking, positioning him closer to a world title fight.

"This fight is very important as it will ensure I get a better rating and ranking, and pivot me towards a world title bout," Laryea concluded, appealing to his fans for their prayers and support.
