The hugely popular ‘The Romford Bull’ Johnny Fisher could be one of the next stars in British heavyweight boxing. Despite only having had 12 fights, he has sparred with some of the best in the division and he has recently revealed which current heavyweight carries the biggest punch.
Fisher is set to bring the ‘Romford army’ over with him to Saudi Arabia in December when he faces the experienced David Allen on the undercard of the rematch between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury.
Notwithstanding the fact that Allen is not the fighter he once was, the experience he has should result in this fight being the toughest test of Fisher’s career to date.
The young Brit is coming off an emphatic first round knockout victory against Alen Babic in front of a raucous Copper Box crowd.
He has been touted by his promoter Eddie Hearn as the next big ticket seller in the country.
In his most recent fight he sold over 4000 tickets alone.
These numbers are extraordinary for a man only 12 fights into his career.
Not only has Fisher stolen the hearts of many British fans already, but he has also sparred with the likes of Anthony Joshua, Tyson Fury, Daniel Dubois, and Joe Joyce.
Speaking to the Take A Seat Podcast, he has revealed which of those he has shared the ring with, hits the hardest.
“[Dubois] He can whack, he can seriously punch.”
“He’s the hardest I have been punched by ever and his jab is like a right hand when it hits you.”
“It is unbelievable power. He hits you like an absolute horse.”
Johnny Fisher has revealed that Daniel Dubois is without doubt the biggest puncher that he has shared the ring with.
Daniel Dubois’ power was clear to see when he shocked the world by utterly demolishing Anthony Joshua at Wembley Stadium.
Whilst, it is a few years before Fisher will likely face the likes of Dubois, having had the experience of sharing the ring with him, can only stand him in good stead moving forward.
It will become clearer as time goes on whether the man from Romford will reach the top of the division, but his next fight should provide fans with a clearer picture of where he is at currently.
