Devin Haney has to forever deal with the trauma of getting dropped three times in his fight against Ryan Garcia last year.

The result was overturned from a majority decision loss for Haney to a no contest once it was revealed that Garcia tested positive for a performance enhancing drug.

But the clips of Haney (32-0, 15 KOs, 1 NC) getting clipped with whipping left hooks remain, and they are a central talking point ahead of his fight Saturday against WBO welterweight champion Brian Norman Jr. (28-0, 22 KOs, 1 NC).

The former two-division champion Haney will be making his welterweight debut in a fight that will take place in Saudi Arabia as part of "The Ring IV: Night of the Champions" on DAZN PPV (UK: £24.99; US: $59.99).

“My punch resistance will be much better at 147,” Haney said on “Inside The Ring.” “I think that’s naturally how it is. I was cutting down, killing myself to make 140 and 135. I’ll be at 147 for a while. This will be my best weight class.

“I want to fight the best fighters in the world, and I think that he's the best guy at 147. There is no better way to take over the division than to fight the best guy.”

Haney is coming into the clash off a lackluster performance against Jose Ramirez in May during a 144-pound catchweight bout in which he appeared to be running and unwilling to engage en route to a unanimous decision win.

Norman, meanwhile, has blitzed and blasted his last three opponents by knockout ever since graduating to the 12-round championship level by stopping Giovani Santillan, Derrieck Cuevas, and, most recently in June in Japan, against Jin Sasaki. The impressive results have led him to the No. 1 spot in The Ring's rankings in the welterweight division.

But Haney isn't concerned about dealing with Norman's thudding power.

“He did what he was supposed to do against that level of opposition,” said Haney. “I didn't even know who [Sasaki] was until Brian knocked him out.

“It's not easy to knock out someone in that fashion. I don't care what level you're on. I give him credit. But I am on a whole different level. I am levels above him, and I will show.”

During a behind-the-scenes look at training camp in Denver, Colorado, Haney shed more light on how he anticipates being in better physical condition to take on Norman in a potentially taxing tilt.

“I'd been killing myself to make the smaller weight classes, training three times a day,” said Haney. “I'm just a naturally bigger guy. I feel so much better this camp. Last camp I felt great, but this camp I feel even better. I feel stronger and more of my natural self. It's the strongest I have ever felt, and the results are showing in the gym. I'm ready.

“Training camp now is strictly on skill and getting better and recovery. It's a lot different from what it used to be. It used to be weight loss camps and overworking myself. It was mostly on willpower and wanting to be the best. Training camp now is a lot better and smoother.

“We came, we saw, we conquered. I'm prepared to be 100 percent. I will be more than ready. I'm looking forward to being a champion again. I'm going to be the best that I can be on November 22.”
