Devin Haney to face knockout artist while two Brits land world title shots on huge Saudi Arabia card
Another star-studded card has been announced by The Ring, with four world title fights hosted in Saudi Arabia to be shown worldwide live on DAZN on Saturday, November 22.
Headlining The Ring IV show will be the all-American clash between WBO welterweight title holder Brian Norman Jr, 28-0 (22), and challenger Devin Haney, 32-0 (15), whilst Brit Anthony Yarde, 27-3 (24), has been handed a shot at WBC light-heavyweight champion David Benavidez, 30-0 (24).
Formerly undisputed at lightweight, Haney is aiming to become a three-weight world champion in just his second fight at welterweight, having defeated Jose Carlos Ramirez in unconvincing fashion during The Ring’s first promotion hosted in Times Square.
Norman Jr is currently the youngest reigning world champion, defending his belt with a brutal knockout of Jin Sasaki in June.
Benavidez was upgraded to full WBC champion at 175lbs in April after undisputed light heavyweight champ Dmitry Bivol prioritised a trilogy bout with Artur Beterbiev.
Yarde has previously fought for a world title on two occasions but came up short twice – the 33-year-old was defeated by Sergey Kovalev for the WBO strap in 2019 before being knocked out by Beterbiev in 2023.
The card, titled ‘Night of the Champions’, will also produce a new beltholder, with the WBO’s top-rated lightweights Abdullah Mason, 19-0 (17), and Briton Sam Noakes, 17-0 (15), going head-to-head for the vacant belt at 135lbs.
Previous WBO champ Keyshawn Davis was stripped of his belt after failing to make weight for his cancelled bout with Edwin De Los Santos in June, leading to Mason, ranked number one, and Noakes, rated at number two, to face off to become champion.
There is the potential for the card to produce an undisputed champion, but only if a preceding fight goes to plan for Jesse ‘Bam’ Rodriguez, 21-0 (14).
Already WBC champion at super flyweight, Rodriguez hopes to unify his current strap with the WBO belt at 115-lbs by defeating Phumelela Cafu later this month, which will be shown live on DAZN.
If Rodriguez manages to double his tally of belts, his bout with IBF and WBA champion Fernando Martínez, 18-0 (9), would crown a first undisputed champion at super featherweight in the history of the sport.
