Hearn’s warning: Haney family hunting for the bag puts his unbeaten record in danger against Norman Jr.

Promoter Eddie Hearn says Devin Haney and his father, Bill, are fair “Looking for the bag” At this stage. Hearn believes that he is “dangerous” for the world champion of two divisions, Haney (32-0, 15 kos), with this mentality that entered his challenge against Wbo champion, Brian Norman Jr., on November 22 in the Anb Arena de Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Haney’s changed priorities

Eddie states that before Haney chose Norman Jr. (28-0, 22 kos), had tried to fight theophimo Lopez and Jaron ‘boots’ ennis in movements that showed that he was driven by money. He claims that Haney and Bill were no longer “Strategic” with the way to select the opponents. They only want fights that will bring many millions.

Hearn claims that change to Haney, 26, took place from his loss of majority decision of twelve laps in Ryan Garcia last year on April 20, 2024. Despite the fact that Ryan tested positive for drugs that improve the performance for the fight, Haney was criticized and vilified for his complaints and demand afterwards.

Hearn believes that the reaction of the fans transformed Haney into a fighter who is no longer in love with boxing and is only focused on achieving the biggest possible days. However, Hearn thinks Devin is reckless now and says that there is a “good opportunity” that will lose before Norman Jr. On November 22.

A dangerous mindset for Devin

“No, not yet. And that is why this struggle is very dangerous,” Hearn said to Central Australian When asked if Haney’s next opponent, Norman Jr., focuses on the money at this stage of his career for his struggle. “There is a very good opportunity that Devin Haney could lose this struggle. Not for Devin,” Hearn said about whether he likes this struggle.

Norman Jr., 24, is still young and ambitious and has not experienced the same thing that Haney faced in his fight against Ryan Garcia last year. Brian Jr. He is a different type of person, who gives the appearance that he will bite stronger with his career if he went through a similar situation. What we do not know is how Norman Jr.

Haney and Bill react in the same way that many fighters do so after they have great days, such as what they achieved for Garcia’s struggle. Of course, they want to continue to make similar money, and the only way to do it is to fight the big names offered by Turki Alshikh for their Riyadh season events.

From the strategy to the search for days of payment

“What has happened now is Bill (Haney) and Devin, they are not strategically seen,” said Hearn. “Looking for the bag. It’s already. So, are they like:” Where can we make our dollars of 5, 6, 7 million? Which struggle? “That is why they said,” We will fight “boots (Ennis) at 147. Well, we are not going to climb, but we will fight you at the age of 15. Ah, we will fight against Teophimo. Well, because they just want the money.

What Heaarn comes out is that the reaction has received after his performance little in his latest fight against Jose Ramirez on May 2, 2025, in Times Square in New York City. Haney received a lot of criticism from the fans and the media for choosing Box and moving for much of the fight. Although Devin won by a wide unanimous decision of 12 rounds, his performance was not considered entertaining in the vision of the fans. On social media, Haney ridiculed: Haney vs Ramirez’s scores were 119-109, 119-109 and 118-110.

Legacy sacrificed by the bag

“ (In the past), Bill was much more selective and tactical about who to fight. Now, he only wants money. This is (Norman Jr.) still a good struggle.This is not money. If he beats Brian Norman, he becomes a world champion of three divisions, which is a great success.But, in my opinion, Honey looks at the selection and watching the money more than the people.
