Ghanaian featherweight sensation John “Expensive Boxer” Laryea has officially departed Ghana for Argentina ahead of one of the biggest fights of his professional career.

Laryea left the shores of Ghana on Sunday, August 9, 2026, as preparations intensify for his highly anticipated WBA showdown in Argentina.

The Ghanaian boxer was accompanied on the journey by his experienced trainer, Lawrence Carl Lokko, who has been leading Laryea’s preparations as the fighter looks to make another major statement on the international stage.

Also present at the airport to see the team off was Mubarak Yusif Nanor, a representative of Legacy Rise Sports and Promotions who also works as a boxing matchmaker.

Nanor’s presence underlined the strong backing behind Laryea as the Ghanaian contender heads into a crucial assignment that could have major implications for his career.

Laryea is scheduled to face Argentina’s Adrian Maximiliano Robledo on August 15 as part of a major international boxing event in Argentina.

The encounter represents a huge opportunity for the Ghanaian, who will be fighting away from home with hopes of strengthening his position within the WBA rankings and moving another step closer to the ultimate dream of becoming a world champion.

Confidence remains high in the Laryea camp after weeks of intense training under Lokko. The boxer has built a reputation for his confidence, aggression and determination inside the ring, qualities he will need when he steps into hostile territory against a home fighter.

For Legacy Rise Sports and Promotions, Laryea’s trip also represents another significant moment as the promotional outfit continues its push to create international opportunities for Ghanaian boxers.

With the bags packed and the hard training completed, attention now shifts to Argentina.

For John Laryea, August 15 is more than another fight, it is an opportunity to carry the Ghanaian flag onto the international stage and move closer to boxing’s biggest prize.
