Johnny Fisher (born February 27, 1999) also known by his nickname The Romford Bull, is a British professional boxer from Romford, London Borough of Havering, England.
He played rugby for a number of years as well as boxing, he says the high level physical sport helped give him a good grounding for his boxing career. His father boxed at amateur level and his grandfather also boxed, but only casually. His siblings have also boxed too.
He has been boxing since before his teens, he stopped but only to pick it back up in his second year of university when he began to spar Joe Joyce. He formed a good relationship with him and sparred him in preparation for Joyce's fight against Daniel Dubois. Fisher said that Joyce's "force has brought my strength along too" and that he is the "closest thing he has seen to a real life human wrecking machine".[1]
He had a brief amateur career of only 10 bouts, three ending in first round stoppages.[2] [3]
He made his professional debut on the 20 February 2021 against Matt Gordon on the undercard for the David Avanesyan vs. Josh Kelly fight at the Wembley Arena. He won by TKO 2:29 into the first round, with his opponent being both counted and knocked down before the stoppage.
His second fight was against Phil Williams, in the Manchester Arena, he won by TKO again, this time referee Howard Foster stopped the contest 1:46 into round three. His third was in the Matchroom HQ Garden against Danny Whitaker, where he once again won by TKO. In his fourth fight he won against Alvaro Terrero by TKO in the second round after he scored two knockdowns. His fifth fight he won on points at Alexandra Palace against Gabriel Enguema, with referee Mark Bates scoring the contest 59–55 over six rounds.[4] His seventh was against Domnic Musil. His style has been likened to David Pearce.
He won his first title, the BBBofC Southern Area Heavyweight title, on the undercard of Anthony Joshua versus Robert Helenius at the O2 Arena, winning by 7th round TKO against Harry Armstrong after knocking down Armstrong in the first round also.[5]
