Brian Norman Jr. starred as the co-featured attraction for the Keyshawn Davis homecoming in May at Virgina's Norfolk Scope Arena.
Norman (29-1, 23 KOs), a former WBO welterweight champion, is now looking for a crack at the guy he provided chief support for to properly position him for another crown.
“Absolutely that interests me,” Norman told The Ring. “That could be my way to a world title. It will be a great fight, a wonderful fight. The only way [Davis] would fight me is if he has to, pretty much.
“I don't have a personal vendetta against anybody. I'm not going to choose any one particular opponent. Anybody who can get me back to that belt.”
Davis (15-0, 10 KOs), a former lightweight titleholder, made his 140-pound debut while beating Nahir Albright by unanimous decision on the same night Norman stopped Josh Wagner inside two rounds.
Davis has stated, however, that he’s not long for the junior welterweight division and plans on competing at 147 pounds in the near future. Davis is the mandatory challenger to WBO welterweight champion Devin Haney, the guy who beat Norman in November by unanimous decision.
Norman, a 25-year-old Georgia native, and Davis, 27, are both former world titleholders tied to Top Rank, so making a fight could be an efficient process, especially if Davis doesn’t get the Haney fight.
Haney has been linked to a more lucrative and preferred fight against Shakur Stevenson in recent weeks.
Haney is ranked No. 1 by The Ring at 147 pounds (No. 8 P4P), and Norman is No. 2. while Davis ranked No. 2 at 140 pounds.
“I'm here to do real business with 'The Business Man' – he's a crash out,” Norman said. “[Davis] can't control himself. What's up with it? If he's serious about business, I'm right here.”
