Devin Haney will challenge Brian Norman Jr. for the WBO welterweight title in November in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Turki Alalshikh, the chairman of Saudi Arabia's General Entertainment Authority, announced Sunday.
A specific date for the matchup wasn't revealed.
Haney, the former undisputed lightweight champion and WBC junior welterweight titleholder, is seeking a title in a third weight class. The November bout will mark his first fight at 147 pounds.
The 26-year-old is coming off a unanimous decision win over Jose Ramirez at a blockbuster event in New York's Times Square in May. Haney holds a 32-0 (1 NC) record.
Norman delivered a Knockout of the Year candidate earlier in June in Tokyo, finishing Jin Sasaki in the fifth round to retain his title. The 24-year-old was promoted to WBO welterweight champion last August and has defended the belt twice this year. Norman is 28-0 (2 NC).
