Fisher Faces First Zuffa Test Against Pirotton In London

Johnny Fisher makes his Zuffa Boxing debut Saturday, September 26 against Michael Pirotton in a 10-round heavyweight main event from Copper Box Arena in London. The card starts at 2:00pm ET, 7:00pm in the UK, and streams live on Sky Sports and Paramount+.

Zuffa Boxing signed Fisher after his fifth-round stoppage loss to Dave Allen, paying what was reported as a significant premium to bring him into the promotion. The move reads less like a coronation and more like a bet that Fisher’s career can still be built around, and Saturday is the first real test of that bet.

What’s At Stake

  • The rebuild: Fisher enters with a loss on his record and something to prove. A win keeps Zuffa’s investment looking justified. A repeat of the Allen result raises real questions about whether he belongs at this level.
  • The stage: Zuffa Boxing 11 opens with a Tom Hardy narrated cold open video, giving the card a bigger presentation than a typical London heavyweight bill.
  • The opponent: Pirotton arrives with little public track record, which puts more pressure on Fisher to look sharp rather than lean on name recognition.
