“Don’t sleep on Haney.”
“Haney looks strong. There are levels to this. Norman is going to get school 12/12 rds.”
“Great shape, looking fwd to a great fight. May the best man win.”
Haney has received criticism for some of his recent performances, so now has an opportunity to re-establish himself as one of the top fighters on the planet should he be victorious against Norman, although it won’t be an easy task for the 27-year-old.
Norman will have his sights set on producing yet another highlight reel knockout when he faces his countryman, just months after he blasted out Jin Sasaki in the fifth round of his latest world title defence back in June.
