Norman Sr reveals Turki’s plan

Haney did not ask for that fight. Brian Sr. says That the idea was to give Haney an easy fight against Jose Ramirez, and then get him to fight Ryan Garcia for the last two fights on the contract.

However, Ryan’s loss to Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero ruined things. So that took him out of the equation. After that, Norman Jr. (28-0, 22 KOS) was contacted to be Haney’s opponent for his second battle of his three-fight contract.

“This is how this fighting was made. They (Turki Alalshikh) brought to him Brian Norman. He was not seeking this battle,” said Brian Norman Sr. Fighthype About Turki Alalshikh wants Devin Haney to fight against Brian Norman Jr.

Fans had already suspected that Turki Alalshikh pushed this fight, not Haney or his father, Bill Haney. Why would those two want to mix it with the hardest puncher in section 147-pill after the way Ryan Garcia mopped the deck with Dev last year?

We have already seen Devin in his first battle since that night, going up against Jose Ramirez on the 2nd event of Turki’s Square Times in New York City. He looked like he was afraid to engage with Ramirez, choosing to run around the ring at night. That was against older, past his united 140-lb champion. Norman, 24, is more, stronger, and still on his way up. He has not struck his peak.

Haney-Garcia Turki’s plan failed

“He has a contract with Turki, and he’s a three -fight deal. One was (Jose) Ramirez, and Ryan Garcia twice. With Ryan Garcia, he pulled out. So I guess they’re trying to find him (Haney) two other fights. So Brian Norman came up. They first came up,” said Norman Sr.

With the money that Turki pays Devin, you can understand why Norman Jr. He needs value after giving him a soft opponent in his first fight of his three -fight contract, allowing him to fight Ramirez. It is understandable why Turki was willing to let Haney fight him, because it was important that he won to set up the two fights against Ryan Garcia. What he didn’t count for was Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero too good for Ryan.

“I put Devin Haney for stepping up and accepting this fight. He did not try this fight. It gives us a chance to put his name on our resume because he is a good name for our resume,” said Norman Jr.
