Johnny Fisher significantly boosted his bank balance at the weekend after his fight with Michael Pirotton.

‘The Romford Bull’ emerged victorious, via majority decision at the Copperbox in London, UK.

Johnny Fisher made more than £1 million for fighting Michael Pirotton

In his debut for Zuffa Boxing, Johnny Fisher had to dig deep to overcome the challenge presented by Michael Pirotton.

Early in the bout, the Englishman cut the Belgian, who bravely battled through the injury to give his opponent all he could handle.

During moments of the contest, it appeared the upset could be on the cards. However, for the most part, Fisher seemed in control, landing the better quality shots.

In the final round, the hometown hero threatened the stoppage, connecting with powerful blows on his rival’s head.

However, showcasing bravery in abundance, he survived to hear the final bell.

After the fight, despite having his hand raised, Fisher had to receive oxygen.

While that wasn’t ideal, the massive amount of money he made will have likely softened the blow.

According to bet365, Fisher likely walked away from the Copperbox with north of £1 million.

Who is Johnny Fisher fighting next?

With his career back on track, there are several options for Fisher.

Some would like to see him take part in a trilogy bout with Dave Allen.

However, the most likely next opponent appears to be Dillian Whyte.

With ‘The Body Snatcher’ working as a pundit during the event at the weekend amid rumours he’s signing with Zuffa, it looks like a major domestic heavyweight fight could be just around the corner.
