Brian Norman Jr. He says that he still wants a unification fight with the United Wall weight champion, Jaron “Boots” Ennis after he defends his WBO belt before Jin Sasaki on June 19. Norman Jr. (27-0, 21 KO) says that he does not care about the “jacket process” about the start with Ennis. This “money” prevented them from living last year.

Norman Jr. It will be on the way on June 19, defending Sasaki (19-1-1, 17 KO) in OTA-CITY General Gymnasium in Tokyo, Japan. Some fans perceive this fight as an example of Norman Jr. Bots Ennis shoes. From his perspective, he did not agree to the unification of the fight to change Chump.

Money vs. marinade

“I don’t care Marynation process. We can make this fight next. I don’t mind at all – said Brian Norman Jr. Fight Hub tv about his interest in the fight with Jaron Ennis. “It was definitely funds. It was definitely money.”

What Norman Jr. It depends on the money. If its starting price is not met, he must forget about shoes and focus on independent defense. While some fans believe that Norman Jr. And his father try to stop Ennis, knowing that he would soon go to 154, they explained that they would not have focusing. They want to fight, but they will not accept less than what they deserve.

“This is an opportunity to show that a road warrior is to do it again,” said Norman Jr. That he travels to Japan to defend against Jin Sasaki, Tokyo, Japan on June 19. “So we left, we considered our options to see if we have something else on the table and we didn’t do it. We have a very willing opponent [Sasaki] Before us. Let’s see what he is talking about. “

Being a road warrior against a warrior like Sasaki is not the same as being against someone like Boots Ennis. It is straightforward to fight in someone’s hometown if you fight guys like Sasaki.

Details of the Sasaki story

“All disrespect did not come to me, just like between foreign and here. You know what boxing culture is here,” said Norman Jr. About how Sasaki called him after the victory over Derriek Cuevas on March 29 in Las Vegas.

Sasaki would shoot at the foot if he approached Norman Jr. to obtain your call. He would be forced to fight in the WBO title eliminator if Brian Jr. He said “no”, and the chances that Sasaki would lose anyone fighting. He is a decent claimant, but he went back against warriors such as Karen Chukhadzhian, Ekow Essuman and Rohan Polanco.

“There is a whole bunch of disrespect. I love boxing. I like to fight. I don’t have to be enraged with you. None of it is emotional. I just like to beat people. I don’t know why. It’s just fun.

“So he [Sasaki] He really came to me like respect. “Okay, I’ll go to your city. I will come to your country with respect and we can copy there,” said Norman Jr. o Jin Sasaki.

Ennis Fight Finance

If it is true that the money offered to Norman Jr. For the fight, Sasaki is more than $ 1.7 million offered by promoter Eddie Hearna to fight Jaron Ennis in unification, she understood why he decided to take this fight.

Hearn should have been sweetening an offer by $ 500,000, i.e. the amount for which Norman Sr. asked, because it is unlikely that Team Norman would agree to $ 1.7 million in the future. If they want more, and Hearn kicks that he disagrees to $ 2.2 million they asked for.
