    Presume this means he is signing for Zuffa.

    Fisher seems a good man so I'm happy for him if he gets a bumper payday, but it isn't a good look for Zuffa. They are truly scraping the talent barrel here.

    Fisher seems like a good guy agreed, but that doesn't change the fact that he just isn't cut out to be a HW contender. Hopefully the guy earns some decent wage before he comes to terms with that fact himself.

    How about Johnny Fisher vs Charles Martin on the undercard of the next Zuffa event in the UK?

    Great fight. Two fragile mandibles collide. Guaranteed episode of shattered glass!

    If he has signed with Zuffa, that's a very rich bin man

    Good luck to him
    Get in make your money and get out as quick as possible

    You see, I wouldn't ever begrudge someone on the level of fisher taking the money route. There isn't much more for him in the sport and he will struggle to earn enough not to have to do some bs job afterwards.

    I am just annoyed by fury and joshua and usyk taking bs money fights when they are rich beyond comprehension. But that's just me...

    Good on Fisher. Get the money while its there. Boxing is boom or bust, dog eat dog business. Nature of the sport.

    Absolutely, he’s pure class, lovely man. I’ve hung out and drank some pints with Big John and his family prior to the Fisher vs Babic event, and be couldn’t be any nicer.

    Dana is just trying to annoy Eddie and he did with the Conor Benn signing. But I think even Eddie is laughing at this one
