WELLTERWET Champion Brian Norman Jr. Defends against Jean Sasaki on June 19th, Live at ESPN+ At the OTA City General Gymnasium in Tokyo, Japan.
The fight was not unexpected, because Sasaki called on the 26 -year -old Norman Jr after winning against Derrian Cubs in Las Vegas on March 25. Norman Senior liked the idea of protecting his son Sasaki because it was a good pay fight and it enhances Brian Jr.’s international appeal.
Norman Jr. will fight in front of Sasaki’s support for Sasaki’s homeland on June 19th. So, if he is hoping to be as cheerful in the past, he may forget about it.
“Brian Norman Jr is a inspired and talented champion who did not hesitate to give this opportunity,” said Bob Arum, chairman of the top rank. “Jean Sasaki has energy and dagger in the volume and their styles will be made for the dramatic, action-packed world title showdown.”
This is not a fight that will create a lot of interest from US fans, because very few people have heard about Sasaki. Norman Jr. and his father are focusing on the money and are slowly building for big fighting. Brian Jr. is not popular enough to get the kind of purse and star treatment for him. He fought in an undercard in his last title against Qiwas.
Sinsaki lost once as a Pro for Andy Hiraoka in 2021 and he has been feeling good since then. By energy, Sasaki Norman Jr may give problems. His chin may prevent him from defeating Brian Jr.

The leading rank today announced that Norman Jr. 2 27-5, 25KO) #2 will travel to Japan to protect against Sasakir (19-1-1, 17 KO). This means that Norman Jr. and IBF and WBA champions Jaron “Boots” will not fight for Annis.
This is a fight that Norman wants, but AD Horn, the promoter of AD, failed to give them a deal that they preferred when they tried to negotiate last year. This is a fight that can happen soon if Horn Turkish Alalashich can help him help Brian Jr.’s money to agree.
