John “Expensive Boxer” Laryea is set to make his U.S. debut in an 8-round featherweight clash against Panama’s Ricardo Nunez (24-6-0) on November 1, 2024, at the Caribe Royale Orlando in Florida. Laryea, a two-time undefeated WBO African Featherweight champion, will face the seasoned Nunez in his first competitive fight on American soil.

This much-anticipated bout marks Laryea’s international debut. Currently ranked No. 70 by the World Boxing Organization (WBO), Laryea (13-0-1, 11 KOs), co-managed by Sammy Anim Addo and Peter Khan under Fight Game Advisors Promotions, returns to the ring after defeating Isaac Dowuona by TKO in his last fight on December 30, 2023, in Accra. The JamesTown-based boxer is the top featherweight in Ghana and holds an impressive global ranking.

The event will also feature other exciting matchups, including Chavez Barrientes vs. Brandon Douglas, Deron Thompson vs. Malik Lewis, and Alexander Rios Vega vs. Felix Santana Jr.
