Johnny Fisher Edges Pirotton in London Heavyweight War
Johnny Fisher defeated Michael Pirotton by majority decision at Zuffa Boxing 11 on September 26, 2026, at Copper Box Arena in London. The ten-round heavyweight main event was scored 95–95, 98–92 and 96–95.
The Fight and Its Context
Fisher’s power shots helped him through a demanding contest in which Pirotton repeatedly answered back. The Belgian sustained a cut over his left eyebrow, but continued after a ringside inspection and found success as the rounds progressed.
Both men were still throwing meaningful punches in the final round. Fisher’s late power work helped secure the decision and the fifteenth win of his professional career, according to the official Zuffa Boxing recap.
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.
