World Boxing Council International Referee Judge, Ataa Eddie Pappoe has cautioned Ghana’s World Boxing Organisation Super Featherweight title contender, Joseph Laryea to be ware of the extreme cold weather in the UK where he will challenge champion Ricky Burns. Joseph Laryea has been training intensively in Kokrobite, a small fishing town outside Accra for the March 12 bout which could see him emulate Azumah Nelson’s exploits in the 80s. Laryea, nicknamed Madingo has a fight record of 14 wins and four losses. He has a tough task of defeating the reigning WBO super featherweight champion Ricky Burns who has recorded only two losses in 32 fights. Ataa Eddie Pappoe who has a lot of experience with officiating such big bouts, has advised that Laryea must move to the UK to acclimatize with the weather before the bout. “We are getting to March and March happens to be one of the hardest seasons in Ghana – at the moment we can feel the heat in Ghana here – it is not easy adjusting from temperatures over here and then straight away going to fight over there,” he stated.
