Devin Haney, who will face Brian Norman Jr. for a 147-pound title on Nov. 22, believes he'll end up at 160.
Devin Haney has grabbed belts in two divisions and has his eye on a third
The 26-year-old former lightweight and junior welterweight champion is scheduled to face WBO welterweight titlist Brian Norman Jr. on November 22 at ANB Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Haney (32-0, 15 KOs) doesn't have problems making the 147-pound welterweight limit, as he had in at lighter weights. However, he doesn't expect to stay in the division for too long.
“I think I’ll go up again,” Haney said on The Ariel Helwani Show. “Maybe like 160 eventually.”
For now, though, Norman (28-0, 22 KOs) is all he can think about.
The 24-year-old champ has demonstrated the sort of power that can knock down a building. He has three consecutive KOs, but the latest one is still turning heads.
Norman brutally stopped Jin Sasaki in the fifth round in front of the Japanese fighter's fans at the Ota-City General Gymnasium in Tokyo. The fringe contender was ultimately stretchered out of the building.
Power, though, is only useful when it lands. But, time and time again, Haney has boxed, moved, and frustrated his opponents from the outside, something he did so smoothly against Jose Ramirez on May 2 in New York’s Times Square.
Losing, from Haney’s point of view, isn’t an option. If everything goes according to plan and he strips Norman of his belt, he’s planning for a long and glorious run.
“I plan on being here for a while,” Haney continued. “I feel good here.”
