The king of the South, who sits on the throne of the welterweight, has a completely fresh offer.
WBO world champion, Brian “The Assassin II” Norman Jr., signed a long -term extension of the contract with the highest rank, maintaining the undefeated waste of power in the promotional power.
24-year-old Norman will defend his third title against Devin “The Dream” Haney on November 22 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
“When I watch Brian Norman Jr., I think about all the legendary welterweight, which I have advanced. He has physical tools and maturity required to become a generational warrior,” said Bob Arum, president of Bob Arum. “We are glad that we can be part of the next phase of Brian’s career, who, I think, will see that he will rise from the world champion to the top of the pounds list for pounds.”
“I believe in loyalty,” said Norman. “The best rank believed in me from the very beginning and I am proud to build the hosts with the team. We only start.”
“It was the band’s total effort to bring Brian Norman Jr. to the place where he is today,” said Adrian Clark, general director of Fighters First Management. “I have to recognize Brian Norman Sr., Jolene Mizzone and Hall of Fame Matchmakers, Brad Goodman and Bruce Trampler. We are glad that we can continue working with the highest rank.”
Norman (28-0, 22 KO), from the suburbs of Atlanta in Decatur, Georgia, signed the highest position as a star 22-0 in December 2022. He had a nomadic beginning of his professional career, which began at the age of 17 and covered 13 bouts in Mexico. This experience served Norman well when in May 2024 he traveled to the hometown of Giovani Santillan in San Diego and upset the local hero for a break in the 10th round. He won the transient WBO title with this triumph and was raised to the full master after Terenka Crawford left the title.
Norman sat down for the rest of 2024 after hand surgery and debuted in March in 2025, from the third round of Cuevas. In June, he was the author of the knockout of the year with the left hook, who flattened Japanese pretender Jin Sasaki in front of a stunned crowd in Tokyo.
