Norman (28-0, 22 KOs), who will be defending his WBO welterweight title against Haney on Nov. 22 at ANB Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, promises to send him to the emergency room. Those threats, ultimately, made Haney laugh.
Nowadays, Brian Norman Jr. isn’t interested in needing the help of judges.
In his last three appearances, he violently stopped each of his opponents. Jin Sasaki, his June 19 victim, was forced to leave Ota City General Gymnasium in Tokyo on a stretcher.
In Haney's opinion, however, Norman's skills aren’t comparable to the opponents the Georgia native has faced.
“I’m a show you it’s different levels to this,” Haney told The Ring. “You did good, but this is a whole different level.”
Norman (28-0, 22 KOs), who will be defending his WBO welterweight title against Haney on Nov. 22 at ANB Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, promises to send him to the emergency room. Those threats, ultimately, made Haney laugh.
Threats before a big fight are nothing new to the former two-division champ. He listened as Jose Ramirez pounded his fists together and promised to do the same. Yet, when the two linked up May 2 in New York’s Times Square, Ramirez barely laid a glove on him as Haney (32-0, 15 KOs) boxed, danced, and moved his way to a unanimous decision.
Haney doesn’t like to brag. Well, maybe a little. All he wants his naysayers and critics to do is take a look at the former world champions he’s faced.
“He’s put on good performances, but against guys we never heard of," Haney said. "I don’t know one person on his resume.”
