Norman Jr. is targeting Ennis, Lopez and all 140 and 147 pound champions in 2025

Brian Norman Jr has revealed his hit list for 2025, which includes IBF welterweight champion Jaron “Boots” Ennis as his primary target. He also wants Teofimo Lopez, but good luck with that.

Target “shoes”

WBO 147-pound champion Norman Jr. (26-0, 20 KOs) may be willing to drop from his $2.2 million asking price to the $1.7 million that “Boots” promoter Ennis “Eddie Hearn” recently offered him for a fight in November. 8th in Philadelphia.

Hearn was unwilling to increase his offer by $500,000, which was a mistake. Ennis’ stock fell after his poor performance in his rematch with Karen Choukhodjian on Nov. 8 at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. Too late,

Hearn may wish he had raised the extra $500,000 that Norman Jr. wanted for his unification fight in Philadelphia. If the British promoter could do it again, it probably wouldn’t be Scrooge McDuck In negotiations. Hearn must have thought Jaron would hit Choukadjian again like he did in their previous fight on January 7, 2023.

He didn’t consider the possibility of Karen working on his power game and going into a rematch to fight like a younger version of Artur Beterbiev. He outplayed and outmaneuvered Potts, making him look like a rookie.

Ennis’s value has fallen to abyss since that battle, and he is almost worthless. Karen had her hands on Ines and looked like a little Beterbiev. Hearn had to kick himself for not getting that deal done after watching Jaron get embarrassed. .

What hurt his value even more was his refusal to fight interim WBC champion Virgil Ortiz Jr. for Turki Al-Sheikh’s Riyadh season card on February 22. This made Ennis look like a first-class chicken.

“After that, Teo started playing games. He’s playing games. He’s thinking about going to 147. If you’re thinking about doing it, I’m here. If you want to fight at 140, I’m with the WBO. I’ll go down to 140 with you.” It’s not a problem at all.

“This is also for all the other 140-pound champions. Anyone can have it. I just want it to be known. I’ve been quiet for too long. It’s my fault, but I’m stressing it out. Now, it’s time to take up the game,” Norman Jr. said. All of boxing.”

Norman Jr., 24, needs to get back into the ring because he hasn’t fought since knocking out Giovanni Santillan in the 10th round on May 18 at Pechanga Arena in San Diego, California. He should have been fighting already by now.
