Johnny Fisher to main event against unknown opponent in Zuffa Boxing debut

Upon signing with Zuffa Boxing, Johnny Fisher had a date and a venue for his debut with the new promotion. Now, he's got an opponent.

Zuffa Boxing announced on Wednesday that the hard-hitting heavyweight will battle Michael Pirotton at the Copper Box Arena in London on Saturday, September 26.

Fisher (14-1, 12 KOs) last fought in December in Monte Carlo. After a slow start that included a point deduction, Fisher rebounded with a fourth-round stoppage win over Ivan Balaz to get back on the winning track, as he'd been stopped by Dave Allen in May 2025 before that. A Fisher win will hopefully net the "Romford Bull" a significant fight that he's desiring to have,

“It’s a golden ticket for Michael Pirotton," Fisher said in a statement. "But it’s also my golden ticket because if I win, I get to go on to bigger and better things. I’ve got ambitions in this game.”

The unknown Pirotton (12-2, 6 KOs) is 2-2 in his last four fights. Pirotton has got back-to-back stoppage wins in 2026. Now, Pirotton looks for the biggest win on his resume.
