The Main Event
Get ready for some serious heat this weekend because Zuffa Boxing 11 is going down in London at the Copper Box Arena. Johnny “The Romford Bull” Fisher (14-1, 12 KOs) is headlining the card, and honestly, the vibes are immaculate. After a nine-month layoff, the 27-year-old London native is ready to show out in his home city. He’s facing Michael Pirotton (12-2, 6 KOs), a 6-foot-5 fighter from Belgium who is riding a wave of momentum after two straight stoppage wins.
The Fighters
Fisher has been living rent-free in the boxing scene thanks to his high-octane, aggressive style and a massive social media following fueled by his dad, “The Boshfather.” Fisher knows his lane: he isn’t looking to be a technical technician; he’s looking to be a main character who brings pure entertainment. He told UFC.com that while he might not be the most polished heavyweight out there, he guarantees fireworks every time he steps in the ring.
On the flip side, Pirotton is framing this as his moment to shine. He’s had a tough road, previously juggling multiple jobs just to fund his training, but he’s leveled up his dedication. He’s calling his boxing “violent therapy” and is ready to prove his boxing IQ is higher than people think.
Under-the-Radar Action
The co-feature is also looking like a W. We’ve got former title challengers Craig Richards (20-4-1) throwing down against Radivoje “Hot Rod” Kalajdzic (30-3). Kalajdzic is coming off a major upset win over Oleksandr Gvozdyk, so the energy here is high-key expected to be intense.
Why it matters
This is Zuffa Boxing’s second trip to the U.K. this year, signaling they’re seriously trying to lock down this market. Fisher is a massive betting favorite, and a win here keeps his trajectory moving toward the top of the division. If you want to catch the action, the main card kicks off at 2 p.m. ET on Paramount+.
