Devin Haney said this week that he “I can’t wait to show how great I am“On November 22, he challenges Brian Norman Jr. for his title of WBO in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

His former self?

Many fans believe that Haney (32-0, 15 KO) is mentally a warrior shell, who was a defeat before Ryana Garcia, and sets out to go wrong against the invincible knockout card Norman Jr. (28-0, 22 Kos) in the fight against David Benavidez vs. Anthony Yarde on Dazn PPV.

Haney looked like SVeteran of hell in his last fight with Jose Ramirez. He seemed to be padlica, battles, looking like he had cocktails, running around the ring, afraid of most of the fight. He looked like a soldier I’m looking for a hole to hide From the snail-paced, constant bombing of Ramirez tonight. Many fans who ordered the event in Dazn PPV were challenging.

This is a fight in which Devin’s status will be threatened as one of the main fighters in sport. Haney may not want to admit it, but his career ends. If he is blown up by Norman Jr., chances for great payments against Ryan Garcia, Teofimo Lopez and other warriors with names will probably disappear.

“I am very excited about this fight. This is another division for me, another belt on the line. So I can’t wait to show how great I am,” said Devin Haney Ring magazine About his fight with Brian Norman Jr. “These are things that motivate me to be the best and showing that I am the best.”

When millions are expected

This would confirm what his former promoter, Eddie Hearn said, lost love for this sport. Hearn said in an interview with Australian Boxing Central: “Bill and Devin, they don’t look strategically. They are looking for a bag. “ Part of this may also be that Haney does not want to receive remuneration after obtaining great payments against Ryan and Jose Ramirez.

Survival of the fittest

When you get millions to fight, it is a natural tendency to receive similar money every time, although your bad performances suggest that you get huge salary reductions. If Devin is knocked by Norman JR, these payments may fall, unless someone like Turks Alalshikh decides to artificially support him. I don’t know why he would. This is the survival of the strongest in boxing. It should be at least.

In the last two fights of Haney, we have seen that it is not “the best”. He was heavily beaten by Ryan Garcia and forced to escape against a 33-year-old veteran Jose Ramirez. These fights have shown that Devin is not the same warrior when he no longer competes in 135 and enjoys a huge advantage over opponents.

Paputed Crawford line

“I love when they doubt me and write back. I make them eat their words. I love Eddie Hearna, “Haney said, cutting off the interviewer when he was on the verge of question about something that his former promoter said about him.

It seems that Devin is Papuating the Terence Crawford line, saying that fans “eat their words” for doubts. It’s not like fans have no reason to doubt Haney. Over the past year and a half you will have to sleep under the stone, he has not seen what destitute Devin looked like in his defeat with Kingra and his shy performance against Jose Ramirez in Times Square, Modern York.

Mike Tyson tells Oleksandr Usyk to face one fighter next: ‘We’re waiting for you’

Mike Tyson tells Oleksandr Usyk to face one man next: “We’re waiting for you”

Mike Tyson urged Oleksandr Usyk to face one of his closest rivals instead of an immediate rematch with Rico Verhoeven.

The Ukrainian is clearly considering his options after his last outing, which ended with: a somewhat controversial 11th round victory over Verhoeven.

Surprisingly, Usyk found himself in a competitive battle with the former kickboxer, whose only previous professional boxing match allowed him to stop the journeyman in the second round of their 2014 meeting.

As such, Verhoeven was considered the clear underdog, but he nonetheless put in a commendable performance last month, staying in contention with the heavyweight champion for 10 completed rounds.

Then the Dutchman suffered a knockdown, and referee Mark Lyson waved him off, and his intervention took place after the signal.

Despite both pairs calling for an immediate rematch, Usyk was ordered to defend his WBC title against mandatory challenger Agit Kabayel.

As the WBC “interim” champion, Kabayel has been waiting for his chance to win the full title since stopping Zhilei Zhang with a sixth-round body attack in February 2025.

And although the 33-year-old has shown considerable patience during this time, he is clearly feeling increasingly frustrated with the situation, so much so that he posted social media clip “Iron Mike” demanding that Usyk defend the WBC, IBF and WBA titles against him.

“Usyk, we’re waiting for you, brother. We need you, Usyk. We need this money, baby. Come get it.”

Usyk must now decide whether to face Kabayel, who has established himself as the most deserving contender, or to relinquish the WBC belt and pursue a rematch with Verhoeven.

Alternatively, he can simply hang up the gloves and, at the age of 39, embark on a brilliant career.

Dana White had to sell Fury vs. Joshua to random US players

Fury and Joshua remain linked to the highly anticipated all-British heavyweight clash, with recent discussions focusing not only on whether the fight will eventually happen, but also on who will oversee its promotion. Although Fury has spent much of his career working with Frank Warren and Joshua was Matchroom Boxing’s banner star under Eddie Hearn, Sauerland sees value in bringing a different voice.

Addressing growing speculation about White’s possible role, Sauerland explained why he thinks the UFC president could support expand the event’s reach beyond the UK.

“If Turki wants Dana to run him, it makes total sense because he has American eyes,” Sauerland told Seconds Out.

“There will be a strategic reason if they want to bring in Dana White. If they are going to bring in Dana White, it will have something to do, I assume, with America, where this fight means very little.

“It’s a huge fight in the UK at the moment. I mean, huge doesn’t really do it justice. Here it’s gigantic, but in America people don’t queue to watch this fight.”

Sauerland also pointed to White’s success in building the UFC as a dominant force in the U.S. combat sports market.

“Bringing in Dana brings a UFC element to the fight,” Sauerland said. “Let’s face it, MMA in America has been the dominant combat sport in America for the last 15, 20 years.

“Boxing, if boxing works in America, is still by far the biggest sport. So I understand from a business standpoint why they would do it.”

White is becoming an increasingly influential figure in boxing thanks to his collaboration with Turki Alalshikh and the launch of Zuffa Boxing. While no agreement has been announced for Fury and Joshua to finally meet in the ring, Sauerland’s comments underscore why White’s involvement may go beyond promotional news.

The heavyweight competition has long been one of boxing’s biggest unrealized events. While the contest would likely sell out a stadium in the UK regardless of who promoted it, Sauerland believes Dana White’s ability to reach grassroots combat sports fans in the United States could make the Joshua vs. Fury fight a truly global spectacle.

Tim Bradley names the heavyweight who can beat Oleksandr Usyk: ‘This could be his time’

Tim Bradley names the heavyweight who can beat Oleksandr Usyk: “It could be his time”

Tim Bradley listed probably the biggest challenge for Oleksandr Usyk, who some say should hang up his gloves after the clash with Rico Verhoeven.

Last month, the Ukrainian endured a tougher-than-expected test against Verhoeven, which ended with a controversial suspension following an 11th-round knockout.

Until then Usyk was losing on one of the judges’ scorecards However, he managed to inspire the intervention of referee Mark Lyson, who waved at Verhoeven after the bell.

Indeed, it was controversial while on duty, however, the real story is that Verhoeven, a former kickboxer, was able to last 11 rounds with the heavyweight king.

Perhaps it was because Usyk underestimated his opponent, or perhaps his performance would be better explained by a text message he received from his daughter, who contacted him from a bomb shelter in Ukraine before the fight.

Either way, the 39-year-old would need to significantly improve his performance if he faces WBC “interim” champion Agit Kabayel in his next fight.

I keep talking his YouTube channelBradley said Kabayel, who has previously stopped fighters such as Zhilei Zhang and Frank Sanchez, posed a real threat to Usyk’s dominance as WBC, IBF and WBA world champion.

“You have a guy like Kabayel who has been waiting for a while. This might be the right time for him [to defeat Usyk].

“Usyk’s aged manager [Alex Krassyuk] he said, “You must go ahead and retire, because if you don’t retire, you will be defeated.”

“[Krassyuk] I didn’t like what he saw against Rico, but I have hope for him in this fight [with Kabayel] what’s happening next. Fighting Kabayel will be tough for him.

“This guy can punch, he can punch the body very well, he can move and box, he can get forward, he can counter-punch – he can do a little bit of everything.”

Having been ordered to defend his WBC title against Kabayel, Usyk must now decide whether to face the undefeated challenger or vacate the belt and pursue alternative options.
