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.Source: Joy News/Ghana
