The Welter WBO Brian Norman Jr Defense of the title champion against the number 2 Jin Sasaki is in preparation for June 19 in Tokyo, Japan.

The 147 LB WBO champion, Norman Jr. (27-0, 21 KB), naturally focuses on taking the Best paid FighT available. Norman Jr. sees this fight against Sasaki (19-1-1, 17 KB) as a way to increase his international appeal, earn a lot of money and turn into a star.

Jake Donovan reports That Norman Jr-Sasaki would be the headliner with Cristian Araneta fighting against Thanongsak Simsri on the Undercard. These two would fight for the Vacant IBF junior fly weight belt.

Impasse

Norman Jr. and his father, Brian Sr., had hoped to set up a unified unified champion of unified weight champion Jaron ‘boots’ ennis, but it does not seem that this fight is feasible. The promoter of boots, Eddie Hearn, chose not to meet Norman JR’s asked last September. The promoter of MatchRoom Hearn was inflexible with his negotiations, choosing not to increase the supply of $ 1.7 million to $ 2.2 million.

This header with Hearn shows that he expects to get Norman Jr. at a negotiation reduction price. It will never work. Ennis must wake up and feel the coffee and realize that he will not have the opportunity to fight for other unification fights to reach his desperate goal of becoming the undisputed Welters Champion.

The way Hearn has been talking about Jaron’s victory over the champion of 147 LB WBA Eimantas Stanionis on April 12, he will not offer Norman Jr. The kind of money he hopes to obtain for unification. In other words, he is considered a challenger rather than a champion. This will not work for Norman Jr. and his father, Brian Sr.

Norman Jr. did not mention the type of money he is expecting for a fight against Ennis boots, but his original price of $ 2.2 million should have increased to $ 3 million. Hearn will kicks for not having paid what Brian Jr. asked last September, because this low price probably no longer exists.

Sasaki profile

The Japanese native, Saski, 23, has not fought many notable fighters during his seven -year professional career. Four years ago, Sasaki was eliminated in the eleventh round by the invasion of Andy Hiraoka on October 19, 2021.

Jin was dominated by the older fighter Hiraoka throughout the fight, losing almost all rounds before being stopped in the turn. However, Sasaki was only 19 years old at the time, and too young to face a polished fighter like Hiraoka. Since this fight, he has won eight of his last nine fights. The only imperfection came in a six -stroke draw against Kotaro Sekine in 2022.
