The senior director of the highest class boldly predicted that the undisputed champion Devin Haney would be knocked out in his return with Brian Norman JR in November in the Riyadh season.

Comments appeared among the scorching war of words between Haney and the highest wound, a company that promoted many of his former featherlight rivals.

Now, when Haney is preparing to return from victory over Jose Ramirez in Fresh York, the tension has exploded in public.

Executive Slams Haney

Carl Moretti from Top Rank directly aimed at Haney in social media, referring to his loss of knockout and constant problems outside the ring.

“Speaking of (s *** emoji),” Moretti fired. “We will be elated to show your fight after returning when you leave the mat and suspension.”

The answer occurred after Haney ridiculed future broadcasting plans in the highest rank, after Bob Arum’s comments on life after ESPN:

Haney wrote: “In other words, they don’t have S ***.”*

The highest rank is coming

Talking to Curran Bhatia, the legendary promoter of Bob Arum confirmed that the highest rank will continue without ESPN after 2025.

“We will work with a immense streaming service,” said Arum. “We are currently negotiating a contract. Besides, a network that does not utilize. Going further, we will have two or three stores.”

Arum did not comment directly on Feud with Haney, but Moretti’s comments reflect the long -lasting tension between the best ranks and the fighters who left the stable.

Working together, Haney and the highest rank parted after Haney twice defeated George Cambosos Jr.

Haney, still 26, is to challenge the invincible Brian Norman Jr for the Crown of the WBO Crown – a belt of abandoned by Jaron Ennis.

Norman Jr. He wins a couple as a favorite

Some are now perceiving Norman Jr. (28-0, 22 KO) as a real threat that the title of world champion Haney in 147 in two fights. When he is heading to Saudi Arabia in November, the expectations grow that the younger, more powerful Norman can stop Haney dramatically.

World Boxing News understands that the highest class directors privately support Norman to get a knockout in one of the most anticipated attacks of the last quarter of 2025.

When Haney trades spikes on social media and Norman, quietly behind the scenes, the Riyjad season prepares a scene for showdown with high rates and a potentially decisive night for the former featherlight ruler.
