Brian Norman Jr., WBO WBO Master, will defend against Jin Sasaki on June 19, lives at ESPN+ at the OTA City General junior high school in Tokyo, Japan.

This fight was not unexpected, as Sasaki called 24 -year -old Norman Jr after victory over Derrack Cuevas last month on March 29 in Las Vegas. Norman Sr. The idea of ​​his son would defend against Sasaki, because it is a well -paid fight and increases the international appeal of Brian Jr.

Norman Jr. He will fight in the hometown of Japan Sasaki before the crowd of pro-Sasaki on June 19. So, if he expects cheering, as if he has been in the past, he can forget about it.

“Brian Norman Jr. is a motivated and talented master who did not hesitate when he offered this opportunity,” said Bob Arum, chairman of the highest degree. “Jin Sasaki has power and blows in the volume, and their styles will be a dramatic, full showdown action of the world title.”

Making a global sign

This is not a fight that will arouse a lot of interest of American fans, because few have heard of Sasaki. Norman Jr. And his dad focus on money and slowly build for larger fights. Brian Jr. It is not popular enough to get handbags and treatment of stars he wants. He fought on the card in his last defense of the title against Cuevas.

Sinsaki lost only once as a professional for Andy Hiraoka in 2021 and since then he looked good. In terms of energy, Sasaki can give Norman Jr. Problems. His chin could stop him from defeating Brian Jr.

The highest rank announced today that Norman Jr. 27-0, 21 KO) will go to Japan to defend against 2 WBO Sasaki (19-1-1, 17 KO). This means that there will be no unification struggle for Norman Jr., IBF and WBA master Jaron “Boots” Ennis.

This is the fight that Norman wants, but Eddie Hearn’s promoter did not offer them a contract they liked when they tried to negotiate last year. This is a fight that may soon occur if Hearn can make Alalshikh Turks aid him in the harmony of Brian Jr.

Promoter Eddie Hearn mentioned the four possible options for his warrior, IBF and WBO, Jaron “Boots” of Ennis, for another fight. He says that next week he will meet with Ennis (34-0, 30 KO) to “talk about options for him.

Hearn mentioned that Ennis has a mandatory defense of WBA against Shakhram Giyasov, but wants to fight the WBO master Brian Norman Jr. or the second champion at the age of 147. If he fights with one of these two, he can bypass his mandatory Giyasov (17-0, 10 KO). He is probably a more arduous fight for shoes than Norman or WBC Master Mario Barrios.

Hearna’s options

– Shakhram Giyasov
– Brian Norman Jr.
– Teofimo Lopez
– Rolando “Rolly” Romero

Hearn says that Turks Alalshikh wants Ennis to fight Teofimo Lopez. He likes this fight. Teofimo defends his title of lightweight welterweight against Arnold Barboz Jr. May 2. If he loses him, he would probably eliminate him as an option for shoes.

Do you avoid mandatory?

“Great news because I think Ryan Garcia is overcoming Romero. I would like to fight for Romero for shoes,” said Eddie Hearn to mediaResponding to the said that WBA ordered the winner of Ryan Garcia vs. Rolando “Rolly” Romero Fight and Jaron “Boots” Ennis vs. Shakhram Giyasov has to fight. “

Fans would not be much interest in the fight between Ennis and Rolly bots if Romero lost Ryan on May 2. Shoes can as well bite the ball and undergo WBA compulsory involvement against Giyasov, and not defend yourself against a rolly, a loss.

“I will also say that Boots wants to face other masters. We have [WBA-ordered] Giyasov problem. I think shoes want to go out and fight [WBO welterweight champion] Brian Norman. I know his Excellency [Turki Alalshikh] He wants the shoes to fight Teofimo Lopez. “

The way Hearn says, Ennis can bypass his fight with Giyasov. If he plans to do it, he will just turn out. If Turks Alalshikh is involved, they can pay Giyasov to move to the side, allowing Ennis to fight Teofimo.

Union with the WBO WBO BRIAN Norman Jr. It would not require a step, because these fights have priority over mandatory defense. Ultimately, however, Boots will have to defend themselves against Giyasov, because the former WBA Master Eimantas Stanionis has already missed him.

Incredible position

“I will say at the moment now that Boots is a heated boxing guy. This last performance [sixth round TKO of WBA 147-lb champion Eimantas Stanionis]. Everyone knows that this guy is the future of boxing.

“So we are in an unbelievable position and we will plan Jaron Ennis, respectively, and we will meet next week and talk about the options,” said Hearn.

The United Heavyweight Master, Oleksandr Usyk, is going to face the IBF champion Daniel Dubois on July 19 at the Wembley Stadium in London, England.

Ring Magazine announced that the event – originally scheduled for July 12 – was moved a week later to avoid the recently announced Fight Magazine 3 Ring Magazine 3 card, at which he manages the title defense of Shakura Stevenson before William Zez.

Usyk (23-0, 14 KO) wants to become a heavyweight champion for the second time in returning with Dubois (22-2, 21 Kos), who won the title of IBF, who left Utyk when he defeated Filip Hrgovica in June last year and successfully defended him, stopping Anthony Joshua.

The fight is a rematch of their meetings in 2023, which Usyk won through the ninth round of TKO. The result was not without controversy, because the blow that Usyk put down in the fifth round was considered a low blow. Usyk will recover and end Dubois later in battle.

27 -year -old Dubois continued the rematch from UYYk since the loss and will get it when the rates are the highest.

38-year-old Usyk departs from subsequent unanimous decisions, wins Tyson Fury in 2024. He became the undisputed champion after their first meeting, but was forced to waive the title of IBF to secure a noisy rematch this year.
