Devin Haney faces a performance that must abandon his evasive style to beat Brian Norman Jr.

Devin Haney says he will show that he is “levels above ” Brian Norman Jr., when challenged by his heavy weight title Wbo in 83 days on November 22 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Haney did the same phrase “above” ahead of his fight against Ryan Garcia last year on April 20, 2024, and this shock did not look good. He is recycling the sentence for the struggle of Norman Jr.

Haney (32-0, 15 kos) claims that his higher experience as a professional puts him above the youngest, with less experience, Norman Jr., 24 years old (28-0, 22 kos), who has not faced the opposition like those who have fought.

Norman Jr. He will defend himself against the world champion of two divisions, Haney, in the departure of David Benavidez vs. Anthony Yarde in Dazn PPV in the Anb Arena de Riad.

Haney levels over claim

“I will prove that I am above him. For some time now I have been fighting these boys at the upper level, the best of the best fighters of the highest level,” said Devin Haney Ring MagazineSpeaking of his opinion that he has more experience against the high -level opposition than the heavy weight champion of Wbo, Brian Norman Jr.

Haney has fought an excellent opponent in his ten -year career, Vasily Lomachenko. The other “best fighters” that Devin alludes are of moderate quality due to the defects in their game or age.

• George Kambos Jr
• King of the program
• Jorge Linares
• Gamboa Jurorkis
• Joseph Diaz Jr.
• Alfredo Santiago

• Mason

The image he has been painted is by Norman Jr., who is not in the same galaxy as he, with experience and talent, before his fight on November 22. It is not clear if you actually believe it.

Mental game begins

If Devin is just a movement to create a doubt in the mind of Norman JR to make him not want to throw punches and attack, it is worth trying. On paper, this is a difficult struggle for Haney due to the power of Norman, aggression, youth and famine. He has not made the money Honey has, which would make him one of the ultra-rich classes.

Devin has more experience against better opposition than Norman Jr. There is no question about it. However, only one of his fights took place in Welterweight, and this was against the former heavy weight champion Jose Ramirez. He has reached his career at the age of 33 and lost his previous fight against Arnold Barboza Jr. For a unanimous decision of ten rounds on November 16, 2024.

“I am the first guy to fight.

The last five opponents of Norman

• Young Santillan
• Janelson Figueroa Bocachica

“That’s why we struggled, because we think Norman will eliminate Haney. Who is the fighter who Haney dropped out? She has not had any eliminated canal.

It’s been six years since Haney detained an opponent when he defeated Zaur Abdullaev for a quarter -round stop on September 13, 2019. This was 10 fights ago. If Haney cannot eliminate Norman Jr., could be a long night. Devin should move and hold 12 rounds as he did in his fights against Jose Ramirez and George Kamboses Jr.

The mandate without motion

With Haney-Norman Jr. On the Turki Alralikh Riyadh season card, on November 22, Turki No Tom-Andry’s Mandate will be valid for this fight. It would be a bad idea that Haney became a similar performance by Jerry-Esque that he did at the Turki event earlier this year on May 2, 2025, in Times Square in New York.

The fans widely criticized Haney’s representation for the amount of movement he showed. They created short clips of Haney running around the ring, not throwing punches and they had a shy look.

“It’s very dangerous for Haney; he does not yet have a chin like Ryan Garcia. Haney, maybe he can run all night, but the thing is that he is a Chin,” said the world champion of three divisions Jorge Linares in X, calling into question the Devin Punch Resistance in his fight against Norman Jr.
