Devin Haney gets ready for a big fight in November. He'll face Brian Norman Jr. for the WBO welterweight title, and he's fired up.
Haney's last fight with Ryan Garcia left a bad taste. Garcia won at first, but the result changed to no contest. Garcia got suspended for a year. Both boxers then had fights in May at Times Square that didn't wow the fans.
Now, Haney wants to get back on track. He's training hard for the November fight, while Garcia doesn't have a plan yet.
Things got heated between Haney and Norman this week. On Thursday, Norman touched Haney's chest, and Haney's bodyguard stepped in. Norman said Haney and his team were "nervous" and that Haney would "still go to sleep."
Friday's face-off got even more intense. Haney got right up in Norman's face and pushed him when Norman touched his chest again. He whispered in Norman's ear and laughed at him. Norman didn't like that at all.
Haney seems more fired up than ever. He wants to put on a great show and win that WBO welterweight belt. He's always been good at trash talk, and now he's using it to psych himself up.
There's still talk about a rematch with Garcia. Both fighters keep thinking about it. But for now, Haney's focus is on Norman and getting back to the top of the boxing world.
