Overview
- Johnny Fisher signed with Zuffa Boxing on Monday and is booked to headline Zuffa Boxing 11 at the Copper Box Arena in London on September 26 with the show to air live on Sky Sports.
- Fisher publicly thanked Dana White and Nick Khan and said the deal marks “the most exciting chapter” of his career as he joins Zuffa’s expanding boxing roster.
- Details about Fisher’s opponent and ticket sales have not been announced and Zuffa says further undercard information will follow in the coming weeks.
- Fisher has begun working with new coach Tony Sims and arrives with a punching-heavy record of 14 wins and 12 stoppages, plus recent ring experience including a December 2025 stoppage of Ivan Balaz.
- Reports say Matchroom did not match Zuffa’s package and linked extra funds to Turki Alalshikh, a point reported by talkSPORT with limited sourcing, and the signing underlines Zuffa’s push to build UK presence and challenge Matchroom’s domestic dominance.
