WBO World Welterweight Champion Brian Norman Jr. (USA, signed with Top Rank, 27 wins, 21 KOs, no losses, 2 no contests) has announced that he has "a big fight lined up" and confirmed he will return to the ring this summer.
His opponent will be Jin Sasaki (Hachioji Nakaya Gym, ranked No. 2 by the WBO at welterweight, 19 wins, 17 KOs, 1 loss, 1 draw). The fight is planned for late June to early July in Japan.
On March 29 (Japan time March 30), Norman Jr. successfully made his first title defense at the Fontainebleau in Las Vegas, defeating challenger Derek Cuevas (Puerto Rico, ranked No. 13, 27 wins, 19 KOs, 2 losses, 1 draw) by TKO at 2:59 of the third round.
Sasaki, who scouted the bout, congratulated Norman Jr. after the fight and read aloud a challenge letter he had prepared in Japan, expressing his desire to make the fight happen this summer in Japan.
