Devin Haney says he is going to show that he is “levels above ” Brian Norman jr. When he challenged him on November 22 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, for his WBO welterweight title.
Haney made the same “levels above” phrase before his fight against Ryan Garcia last year on April 20, 2024, and that collision did not work out well for him. He regains the phrase for the struggle of Norman Jr.
Haney (32-0, 15 foods) mentions that his excellent experience as a professional person above the younger, less experienced 24-year-old Norman Jr. (28-0, 22 food), which did not face the opposition like those who fought Devin.
Norman jr. Will defend against the former World Champion of two divisions Haney on the bottom map of David Banavidez against Anthony Yarde on Dazn PPV in the ANB Arena in Riyadh.
Haney’s levels above claim
“I’m going to show that I am levels above him. I fight these guys on the top level, the best of the best fighters on the top level, ‘said Devin Haney Ring magazineTalk about his view that he is more experienced against high-level opposition than WBO welterweight champion Brian Norman Jr.
Haney fought an excellent opponent in his ten -year professional career, Vasily Lomachenko. The other “best fighters” Devin refers to are of moderate quality due to defects in their game or age.
Haney’s best opponents
- Vasily lomachenko
- Ryan Garcia
- Jose Ramirez
- George Kambosos jr
- King or Prograis
- Jorge Linares
- Director gamboa
- Joseph Diaz Jr.
- Alfredo Santiago
- Zaur abdullaev
- Antonio Moran
- Juan Carlos Burgos
- Mason menard
The picture that Haney paints is from Norman Jr., which is not in the same galaxy as him, experiencing and talent-wise, before their November 22 struggle. It is unclear whether he actually believes it.
The spiritual game begins
If it’s just a step of Devin to create self-doubt in Norman JR’s mind to make him unwilling to throw and attack, it’s worth trying. On paper, it is a difficult battle for Haney because of Norman’s power, aggression, youth and hunger. He did not earn the money Haney had, which would make him one of the ultra-rich class.
Devin has more experience against better opposition than Norman Jr. There is no doubt about it. Only one of his fights took place at Welterweight, and it was against former light welterweight champion Jose Ramirez. He is late in his career at 33, and has his previous battle against Arnold Barboza jr. Lost on November 16, 2024.
“I’m the first man at the top he fought. I really don’t know one person he beat, ‘Haney said about Norman Jr.
Norman’s five last opponents
- Jin sasaki
- Derrieeck Cuevas
- Young Santillan
- Janelson Figueroa Bocachica
- Quinton Randall
“That’s why we fought, because we think Norman will beat Haney. Who is the fighter who knocked out Haney? He has not had a knockout in a long time, “the top promoter Bob Arum told Sean Zittel channel.
It’s been six years since Haney last stopped an opponent when he defeated Zaur Abdullaev by a fourth round on September 13, 2019. That was ten battles ago. As Haney Norman Jr. Can’t knock out, he can be a long night. Devin will have to move 12 rounds and hold as he in his fight against Jose Ramirez and George Kambosos Jr.
The mandate without conservation
With Haney-Norman Jr. On the Riyadh season map of Turki Alalshikh on November 22, Turki’s mandate, which is non-jerry, will be in force for the fight. It would be a bad idea for Haney to introduce a similar Jerry-Esque performance he did earlier this year on May 2, 2025 at Times Square in New York at Times Square in New York.
Fans have widely criticized Haney’s actions for the amount of movement he showed. They created a briefly raised excerpts of Haney around the ring, not throwing bumps, and looked shyly.
“It’s very dangerous for Haney; He still doesn’t have a chin like Ryan Garcia. Haney, maybe he can run all night, but the thing is that it’s about Chin, “the former three-division world champion Jorge Linares said on X, and questioned Devin’s punching resistance in his fight against Norman Jr.
