Bronx Boxing Club Coach Carl Lokko believes John Abaja Laryea has what it takes to become a world champion because he is very disciplined and does not joke with his training.

Speaking ahead of Friday’s bout in Orlando, USA, he expressed that the bout is a new chapter in the boxing career of John Laryea who has been one of the dedicated boxers at the Bronx Gym.

According to Coach Lokko, Team Laryea which has able people like Sammy Anim Addo, Emmanuel Quaye and Yours Truly is capable of landing a world title for Ghana.

“Our mission and ambition is to land a world title chance and we will not disappoint” he said.

For now the focus is on Alexander Mejia of Nicaragua who has 19 wins and 9 loses.

John Laryea 22, the WBO Africa Featherweight Champion is undefeated in 14 bouts with one draw.

Laryea was born and bred at Bukom, the cradle of Boxing in Ghana.

He was nominated for Boxer of the year by the Sports Writers Association of Ghana some few years back, and he has been inspired by the media.

He knows victory against Mejia will be great and he is not letting any opportunity slip.

Laryea and Mejia weighed successfully on Thursday. We have a bout on Friday night, November 1, 2024 at Caribe Royale, Orlando in Florida, USA.
