The 14-1 heavyweight weighed 243 pounds ahead of Saturday’s 10-round main event in London.
Johnny Fisher returns to the Copper Box ring on Saturday to begin his Zuffa Boxing career against Michael Pirotton, 16 months after Dave Allen stopped him at the London venue.
He has won since then. A fourth-round stoppage of Ivan Balaz last December took Fisher to 14-1, but he has had to wait until September 26 for his next contest.
That makes Saturday a return from inactivity as well as a first appearance for his new promoter. Fisher headlines Zuffa Boxing 11 over 10 rounds, with Belgium’s Pirotton standing between him and a second successive victory.
The Copper Box holds mixed memories. Fisher edged Allen by split decision in their first meeting, before losing the rematch at this arena in May 2025. His win over Balaz began the recovery; the Pirotton fight gives him the chance to follow it with another result.
Fisher weighed 243 pounds for the contest. Pirotton registered 240.6, leaving just 2.4 pounds between the heavyweights.
Twelve of Fisher’s 14 victories have come inside the distance. He starts this next part of his career with that established record of stoppages, although Saturday’s bout is scheduled for the full 10 rounds.
Richards Faces Kalajdzic in Chief Support
Craig Richards and Radivoje Kalajdzic meet in a 10-round light-heavyweight contest that brings together two experienced fighters coming off stoppage victories.
Richards has stopped Padraig McCrory and Dan Azeez in his last two appearances. Kalajdzic arrives after knocking out Oleksandr Gvozdyk in his Zuffa debut, giving the Londoner an opponent with a significant recent win of his own.
Little separated them on the scales. Richards weighed 174.2 pounds, with Kalajdzic three-tenths of a pound heavier at 174.5.
Elsewhere on the main card, Lee Cutler faces Louis Greene over 10 rounds at middleweight. Cutler came in at 159.5 pounds and Greene at 159.1.
Cesar Mateo Tapia and Leo Ruiz also contest a 10-round middleweight bout, weighing 159.9 and 159.2 respectively. Alex MacMillan faces Guillaume Azagier over six rounds after registering 149.9 pounds to Azagier’s 151.6.
