Mr. Sammy Anim Addo, CEO of the Asamoah Gyan Foundation, is optimistic that John Laryea, the WBO Africa Featherweight Champion, will soon secure a world title. Speaking to the media, Anim Addo, who also heads the Asamoah Gyan Foundation, shared that they are a key supporter of Laryea, who is training under Coach Carl Lokko at the Bronx Gym in James Town, near Bukom. The Foundation aims to nurture Laryea into Ghana and Africa’s next boxing star.

Anim Addo explained that the Asamoah Gyan Foundation carefully selects projects to support, focusing on character, dedication, devotion, discipline, and commitment. Their interest in boxing has led them to support several boxers from the Bronx Gym, who compete under Bronx Promotions.

One notable boxer previously supported by the Foundation is former IBO Lightweight Champion Emmanuel Tagoe. John Laryea, undefeated in 14 bouts with one draw, is currently preparing for training camp and upcoming fights in the USA, with the guidance of his international manager Peter Kahn. Coach Carl Lokko, who previously led Richard Commey to an IBF Lightweight title, is confident that Laryea can achieve similar success.
