Bob Alm Eyes Brian Norman Jr. vs. “Truckstar” Devin Haney in November

Bob Alm, promoter of Brian Norman JR, says he looks forward to Brian working with Turchiaralshuk to defend the WBO welterweight title. “Truckstar Devin Haney” November.

Arum knows what Norman Jr. (28-0, 22 Kos) is against in this fight, and he digs a bit ahead of time. The music for his ears is when Turki announces that the ring will be 18 x 18 feet.

Haney’s “Truckstar” label explained

Many boxing fans complained about the movement Devin used in his final fight with Josera Mirez at Times Square in New York City on May 2. Haney removed all entertainment from the fight, along with what people considered “running.” After that, there was a huge backlash from fans. Fans criticized the entire card with a wide brush for Devin’s performance. Before that fight, Haney was not a major invoker in his career. He was the type to get engaged to his enemies.

One theory explaining why Devin ran last May is the assault he maintained in his defeat to Ryan Garcia last year. He was dropped three times by Ryan in the fight and was hurt at other times. It may have taken courage from him and turned him into the cries, persistent fighter he saw on display at Times Square.

Turki announced the November fight between Norman Jr. and Honey in Riyadh yesterday. The prices for the undercard and PPV have not been revealed yet. This card is expected to have great battles.

Alalshikh praised Haney yesterday for his willingness to fight anyone. But that was the case when Devin had limited big payday options after missing millions of fights. When the fight for Brian Norman Jr. was offered to Haney, he had to wait a long time before anything else fell into his knee, so he wasn’t going to refuse it.
