BrianNorman Jr. he vows to bring down Devin Haney “in the dirt”, guaranteeing that he will knock him out on Saturday, November 22 during their main support slot at the ANB Arena in Riyad, Saudi Arabia. WBO welterweight champion Norman Jr. (28-0, 22 KO) claims that there is no way he could knock out Haney (32-0, 16 KO). It’s when he does it.
Devin looked nervous during his DAZN Boxing bout with Norman Jr., stuttering and losing his grip as the Georgia native calmly told him he would utilize the victory against him to make a name for himself.
“Not if-when”: KO certainty
“The real fans come after Saturday when I threw that boy down the drain. There’s no such thing as an ‘if’. I’m going to do it,” said Brian Norman Jr. Boxing newswhich guarantees he will knock out Devin Haney on Saturday night. “Where will this lead me next? The world is mine.
“This is a pain coming. KO demolition work,” Norman Jr. said. when asked how his Saturday fight with Haney would go.
Haney’s chin: Still broken?
It doesn’t sound good to Haney that Norman Jr. promises “pain” and “demolition work” as they fight together in Riyad. If Devin’s impact resistance hasn’t improved since his April 2024 fight with Ryan Garcia, he won’t last long in Saturday’s fight with WBO welterweight champion Norman Jr.
Ryan’s rematch in danger
Haney has a lot to lose in this fight. He has a rematch with Ryan Garcia scheduled for 2026, as well as a possible huge payday against Conor Benn. If he gets knocked out by Norman Jr., it’s unlikely that Turki Alalshikh will go for it. He would probably focus on setting up fights between Norman Jr., Ryan and Benn. Haney’s career would be on slim ice.
It will be fascinating to see if Turki still wants to continue Haney’s rematch with Ryan Garcia, which saw Devin lose to Norman Jr. by KO. Fans will still be interested in this fight because of the drama that followed the first fight, in which Garcia’s positive PED test doomed his victory.
Clouding the water to survive
The key to making this fight happen would be for Haney to come up with a good excuse for why he lost to Norman Jr. If he can muddy the waters enough to lessen the impact of defeat, fans would be willing to overlook it.
Warning shot in the first round
“In the first round, I want to show you that you’re capable of this. People want to know how strenuous I punch. Just know that I punch a million times harder. I’m going to show you that in the first round. So you have to go back to your corner and say, ‘I’ve got 12 rounds to deal with this,'” Norman Jr. said.
If Norman Jr. connects with something significant in the first round against Haney, he could end up in the deck. The two right-hand shots he landed on Jin Sasaki in the first round would have been complex for Devin to take without falling. Sasaki showed a good chin, hanging on until the fifth round before Norman Jr. knocked him out with a left hook in a fight on June 19, 2025 in Tokyo, Japan.
“So let’s go back to my fight with Derrieck Cuevas. I made him quit after the jab. Something happened to him that made him change his mind,” Norman Jr. said.
The power punch that Norman Jr. used against Cuevas, caused him to trip over the ropes in the second round. In the third round, Norman Jr. he hit Cuevas with a combination and finished with a strenuous jab, sending him to the canvas.
A scarce flaw for Haney
If Haney decides to go the distance on Saturday, he’ll have to deal with Norman Jr’s jab because he has a one-inch reach advantage. It’s a scarce occasion in Haney’s career that he’s faced someone with longer range than him and a better jab.
