'Bosh', backlash and rebuild - how far can Fisher go?
British heavyweight Johnny Fisher - who returns to the Copper Box for his Zuffa Boxing debut on Saturday - reflects on defeat, fame and his rebuild.
Johnny Fisher, a 27-year-old heavyweight boxer, returns to the Copper Box Arena on Saturday night after a loss to Dave Allen last year. The venue, once a fortress for Fisher, now marks a new chapter in his career as he prepares to headline against Michael Pirotton of Belgium in a 10-round contest. This fight also marks Fisher's promotional debut for Dana White's Zuffa Boxing.
Fisher, known for his viral takeaway reviews and "Bosh!" catchphrase, has built a significant social media following, thanks in part to his father, Big John, and their Chinese takeaway reviews. Despite his unconventional path to the top, Fisher remains grounded, stating that he is not an influencer boxer. He emphasizes that his focus is on the next fight, with his ultimate aspiration being to have a good time and enjoy the sport.
