Laryea was accompanied on the visit by his manager, Sammy Anim Addo, head coach Lawrence Carl Lokko, and international boxing matchmaker Lord.
The meeting provided a rare opportunity for the team to interact directly with one of the greatest boxers Africa has ever produced, as Nelson shared invaluable words of wisdom, encouragement, and inspiration with the rising fighter and his camp.
A former two-division world champion, Nelson remains one of Ghana’s most celebrated sporting heroes. His achievements transformed Ghana boxing on the global stage and continue to inspire generations of young fighters to pursue excellence with discipline, resilience, and patriotism.
For many aspiring boxers, Nelson’s journey from the streets of Accra to becoming a world champion serves as proof that dedication and hard work can lead to international success.
Through his mentorship and unwavering support for emerging talents, “The Professor” has played a pivotal role in shaping the careers of many young Ghanaian boxers, ensuring that his legacy extends far beyond his accomplishments inside the ring.
Receiving the blessings of the boxing legend is expected to further motivate Laryea and his team as they intensify preparations for the August 15 showdown, with the fighter’s camp buoyed by the endorsement of one of the sport’s most respected figures.
