Devin Haney W12 Brian Norman... In Saudi Arabia, Devin Haney became a three-division champion and experienced a moment of redemption that precious few get to experience. He knocked down Brian Norman, Jr. in round two and cruised to a unanimous decision victory to become the WBO welterweight champion. The judges scored it 114-113, 117-110 and 116-111, all in Haney's favor. The win marked redemption for the 27-year-old Haney (32-0 with 1 no contest, 15 KOs), who used the quality victory to propel himself from his rather lackluster points win over Jose Ramirez in May. It also erased some of the stained memory of being knocked down three times in an April 2024 loss to Ryan Garcia that was later turned into a no-contest after the latter tested positive for a banned substance. "In 2024, I lost everything, everything came crashing on me," a victorious Haney said live on DAZN Pay-Per-View. "In 2025, I came to get it back, in 2026 I'm coming for everything."
