Johnny Fisher defeats Michael Pirotton at Zuffa Boxing 11

Overview

Johnny Fisher secured a majority decision victory over Michael Pirotton in the heavyweight main event of Zuffa Boxing 11 at London’s Copper Box Arena on September 26.

Fisher, the ‘Romford Bull’, controlled much of the early and middle rounds using body work and heavy hooks. However, his momentum slowed as the fight progressed, allowing Pirotton to utilize an effective jab in the later rounds. The scoring reflected the competitive nature of the ten-round bout: two judges awarded the win to Fisher (98-92 and 96-95), while the third judge scored the contest a 95-95 draw.

Other results from the promotion’s first English capital event included Radivoje Kalajdzic earning a unanimous decision victory over Craig Richards, aided by a knockdown in the final seconds. Additionally, Lee Cutler defeated Louis Greene via unanimous decision, and Alex MacMillan secured a second-round stoppage against Guillaume Azagier.
