Johnny 'The Romford Bull' Fisher

'Fisher made short work of his first professional opponent but only had four amateur bouts so his progress will be "baby steps", says Jones, with five more fights hoped for in 2021 before they target titles next year.'

Will be an interesting sideshow this year if he's really fighting another five fights this year. clearly raw, but his right hand definitely whips up some speed and has some prime beef behind it. And a good team.

[gregregegg]

comes off as a likeable guy too. seems switched on, has a good nick name, a logo, was hustling merch before he even had his pro debut, if it wasnt for the pandemic im sure he would be shifting tickets at a good rate..

Id defiantly expect him to try fight 6 times this year, That should be standard practice for a young pro with very few amateur fights. needs 6 rank journymen this year, probably another 6 next year, low levle stuff, nice side show but i dont expect to see him in with anyone with a pulse for his first 10 fights.

Richard Lartey next year

[margaret thatcher]

only had 4 amateur bouts?

what happened to those 10 first round kos at senior level?


looks like a beast on the bags and pads, but then a bit of a sloppy big stiff idiot and accident waiting to happen actually fighting someone tbh. needs tons of work.

Seems to be a slew of guys turning pro at like 21-22 years old right now. It's gonna be 3 years until Fisher gets stuck in with a live body lets be honest.

I'd rather a guy turn pro at 24 or 25 and then fight every 3 or 4 weeks to catch up but hey ho. Maybe Fisher wasn't going to be a European or World amateur champ or finalist but he might have had 2 or 3 ABA titles to his name by then.

Nobody cares about ABA's. I don't even think the top guys can enter as it's not classed as elite.

[Stobbo]

Not too impressed to be honest.
Might be another Scott Gammer

[margaret thatcher]

is he really that young, he looks more like 32-33

Fisher will have done very well to win a brit title like gamer did, Johnny looks an accident waiting to happen

[forcefraser]

Seems to have some power, not Boomer style powaaah, but still.

What's he like at taking a clean shot to the whiskers?

True enough I might have been a bit optimistic. in all honesty Scott wasn't bad on his night

how does someone with 4 am fights get signed straight off by matchroom and already get hype pieces like this anyway

[margaret thatcher]

He is the nicest man but is naturally aggressive - you should see the way he handles a knife and fork when he sits down to eat!

haven't seen that one before to hype a fighter

Hahahah, total Partridge

[Old bones Ian]

Good luck to him, needs to learn head movement as he holds it so tall

Gammer had boxed since he was a kid and was 4 nations champ, Fisher still has a lot of improving to do to win a British title.

But you never know Eddie might get him a vacant shot against Dave Allen!

More realistically he will do his learning in the gym, get given soft opponents before getting moved into 'inter- continental' class.

Remember he is still a proper novice and let's see how he improves in the gym.

Using Conor Benn as an example, he was also a proper novice and has properly improved.

He is from Romford and trains with Tony Sims. Simple as that!

He’s with Mark Tibbs.

Oh!!! Shows how much notice I take of him!

[THEBUTCH]

First impressions is that he doesn't look anything special despite a first round stoppage on his debut.

I would say let him have 10 fights and see what he's looking like at that point.

[golden_labrador]

the Essex Deontay Wilder maybe one day

Im guessing he must of done well in sparing, Probably against Joyce, people can look great in with him sparing, i remember footage of tom little looking ike Ali in with joyce sparring...

Then you get Sam jones on board and your away, Sam jones seems like a rare combo of human that is both very punchable, but very likeable.. but once he is on your team he is also one hell of a mouthpeice.

[jameswilson]

Eddie Hearn came in and actually at the start most saw him as a breath of fresh air to challenge Frank. Then he started doing well and everyone hated him.

Sam Jones seems similar but for some reason everyone hates him from the start. ‘Whoaaa he’s talking his fighters up. How fuc king dare he.’ That usual god bothering sh1t that you see from people on here.

For me he’s a guy doing well so good luck to him. I’d love to be in the spot he is, I think management within boxing is a great job if you are lucky with who you get. Sams struck gold with Joe Joyce in my opinion so it gives him a great platform to launch from.

He's with Sam Jones and it seems every week a Sam Jones or Dave Coldwell fighter is on a Matchroom bill. Pays to suck up to Hearn I guess.

I like sam jones. Thought he was a prat originally but the way he humiliated allegedly in the Dubois Joyce build up was legendary

'OH COME ON FRANK!!!!!
