Belgian heavyweight Michael Pirotton is set to face England’s fan‑favorite Johnny Fisher at the Copper Box Arena in London this Saturday, with the bout to be shown live on Sky Sports.
The fight pits the little‑known Pirotton, who boasts an unbeaten record and has never been stopped, against Fisher, known as the "Romford Bull" and backed by a passionate fan base.
Pirotton told Sky Sports that his anonymity is his greatest weapon, saying, "I'm nobody in boxing… That's my only advantage. I know I'm supposed to lose, so I’m ready for whatever he brings."
Fisher, described as a strong, come‑forward fighter, responded that the matchup is a classic heavyweight clash, likening it to "a bull against a matador" and promising to test Pirotton’s resilience.
The Belgian added that his difficult career journey has forged a “deep sense of stoicism,” and he remains confident that his unbeaten streak will continue, noting, "I'm not over and it’s not over until I say it’s over."
The bout will be broadcast live on Sky Sports, with options to watch via a Sky subscription, the NOW streaming service, or the Sky Sports app, giving fans multiple ways to follow the showdown.
Both fighters have hinted that a victory could boost their profiles: a win for Fisher would cement his rise toward higher‑profile fights, while an upset by Pirotton could thrust the Belgian into the spotlight.
