Adrian Clark, manager for WBO Welterweight Champion Brian Norman Jr., announced that he was “told” the fight with Devin Haney is off.

This news comes after earlier reports indicated that Norman Jr. had “verbally agreed” to face Haney, with November being a targeted date. Norman Jr. recently defended his WBO belt with a fifth-round knockout of Jin Sasaki. Team Haney had previously accused Norman Jr. of using Devin’s name for “clout.”

Haney secured an underwhelming decision win over Jose Ramirez in his first fight at 147. A fight against the undefeated Norman Jr. would have been a significant test for Haney and offered him the opportunity to become a three-weight world champion. However, that is now off the table.

Welp, that was quick. Unless I’m being punk’d, I’m told there’s no fight between Norman Jr-Haney.
