Johnny Fisher’s Fight-Week Talk Leads Into a London Win
Johnny Fisher defeated Michael Pirotton by majority decision on September 26, 2026, at Copper Box Arena in London. The Zuffa Boxing 11 heavyweight main event was scored 95–95, 98–92 and 96–95.
Before the fight, Fisher spoke with Boxing News about his preparation and Eddie Hearn’s comments concerning stablemate Conor Benn. The publisher identifies Danny Gilfillan as the interviewer.
The bout itself became a demanding ten-round contest. Pirotton kept responding to Fisher’s power and finished strongly enough to leave one judge with a drawn card. The interview captures the buildup; the official event recap records Fisher’s eventual victory.
Event Context
The London card also featured Radivoje Kalajdzic’s unanimous-decision win over Craig Richards in the light-heavyweight co-main event. A separate Misfits event in Miami on the same date featured Henry Cejudo’s split-decision victory in his professional boxing debut and Tony Ferguson’s second-round stoppage of Mahmoud Fawzy Sebie. Those results belonged to the Miami show, rather than the London card.
The judges’ verdict is part of the result, not a detail to be inferred from the headline. The reported scores show whether the panel agreed or whether at least one judge saw the contest differently. Where the scores are available, they are included with the official decision so readers can distinguish a unanimous result from a split or majority verdict. A decision also means the bout reached its scheduled conclusion; it should not be described as a stoppage.
