Fisher vs Pirotton preview: Johnny Fisher returns to the ring this Saturday when he clashes with Michael Pirotton in London.
Fisher vs Pirotton takes place at the Copper Box Arena. The bout is aired on Sky Sports in the UK and on Paramount+ in the USA.
Dana White’s Zuffa Boxing signed Fisher, following the conclusion of his deal with Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom and he makes his debut under the promotional banner this weekend.
’The Romford Bull’ bounced back from a brutal fifth round stoppage defeat to Dave Allen in their rematch. Fisher, 27, halted Ivan Balaz in four rounds in December.
Meanwhile, Pirotton has two defeats on his ledger. The Belgian was beaten by Piotr Lacz in the WBC Grand Prix last April, before suffering a second straight loss seven months later.
Pirotton, 30, has won two since by stoppage, but against opposition nowhere near Fisher’s level.
Prediction: The gulf in class between the pair should show early on here. Fisher can remove the Belgian from battle before the halfway mark.
Richards meets Hot Rod
In the co-main event to Fisher vs Pirotton, Craig Richards tackles fellow former world title challenger, Radivoje ‘Hot Rod’ Kalajdzic.
Richards scored a stunning final round stoppage of Dan Azeez in December. The win enhanced his credentials for another world title shot.
While, ‘Hot Rod’ bounced back from defeat to David Morrell, to knock out Oleksandr Gvozdyk in a thrilling seven round shootout in February.
Prediction: Richards will have to be at his best to win here. The Brit should have enough left in the tank to squeeze out a tight points victory.
Fisher vs Pirotton Preview Remaining Undercard
Elsewhere on the Fisher vs Pirotton card, Lee Cutler should outpoint Louis Greene at middleweight, while light heavyweight prospect, Leon Hughes can become the first man to stop Michael Stephenson.
Mexican middleweight, Cesar Mateo Tapia can halt Leo Ruiz, while Aurel Ignat can take the unbeaten record of Rogelio Romero at cruiserweight.

Rounding off the Fisher vs Pirotton preview, American featherweight hope, Alexis De la Cerda can stop Cain Lewis.
There should be points victories for debutants Kayla Allen and Fred Pullen in their respective bouts.
