Devin Haney returns to the top 10 of the ESPN men's pound-for-pound rankings for the first time in 20 months following a unanimous decision victory over Brian Norman Jr. on Saturday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, to win the WBO welterweight title. After Haney's majority decision loss to Ryan Garcia in April 2024, a result that was later changed to a no decision following Garcia's positive test for a banned substance, Haney fell out of the top 10. Haney was knocked down three times on that fight, and while the result was changed, he never returned to the list until now.
"In 2024 I lost everything, everything came crashing on me," Haney said after Saturday's fight. "In 2025, I came to get it back. In 2026, I'm coming for everything."
He takes over the No. 10 spot, pushing super middleweight
