One for the future

Bio on matchroom site:

Known as ‘The Romford Bull’, Johnny Fisher is trained by respected coach Mark Tibbs at the Origin Gym in Rainham, Essex. The 21-year-old will look to make a name for himself in the Heavyweight division and has the size and punch power to do just that.

Standing 6ft 5ins, Fisher has already gained invaluable experience from sparring 2016 Olympic silver medallist Joe Joyce and undefeated S-JAM Boxing stablemate Guido Vianello in a recent Las Vegas training camp.

A Brief but explosive stint in the amateurs saw Fisher score nine first round knockouts in ten wins and now the big-hitting Brit is planning on announcing himself as the latest contender in a thriving domestic Heavyweight scene.


I do like to see fighters swerve a lengthy amateur career and go straight into the professional game. He must be a beast to get a professional contract with MR, based off only 10-15 amateur fights. Did he start boxing late?

 

Just checked his IG, 21?! What are they feeding this lad, looks about 38. Looks a unit, like a young Glenn McCrory.

 

I used to think that about swering alot of the Ams but I'm not so sure anymore. It's a good way to face alot of different styles in quick succession and become more rounded before the Pros where they are they are generally in one sided beatdowns and don't learn much. Obviously isn't always the case.

 

Nice one fella.

 

He’s signed with Hearn and Matchroom which is always a good sign.

Can’t find any footage of any of his fights?

He has 10 wins including 9 knockouts in first round, I’m presuming they were low level fights.

He comes across as a nice guy and hopefully he can win a British Title.

 

Looks very heavy handed on the pads.

Can't find any footage of his amateur fights though. Looking forward to seeing his pro debut, will judge him then

 

He certainly is a unit and looks bred from farmer stock or something - looks to have that natural, freakish strength without having to pound the weights. He also looks pretty sturdy with a rather large head and thick neck. Could be one to watch out for.

 

It's fantastic to see the influence of Joshua and Fury encouraging a veritable conveyor belt of UK Heavyweight talent.

The way things are looking, we'll have a vice like grip on the HW division for perhaps a generation.

 

I've been saying that Wardley is a dark horse at the very least at domestic level for some time. He's naturally gifted and talented which always gives you a head start in the fight game. He's visibly improving every fight and given that he's obviously smart and articulate and a student of the game, will progress pretty rapidly.

 

Could be well out but sure he is from a travelling family?

 

Other young lads to look out for include David Adeleyle, Solomon Dacres and Mitch Barton.

In the amateurs, big Frazer Clarke will turn over after the Olympics, and then the next two promising young heavyweights are Delicious Orie and Hosea Stewart in my opinion.

Not sure how talented these lads are compared to the Joshua's, Fury's, Joyce's etc, but it's great to know that there's a strong depth of talent.
