Johnny Fisher returns to the Copper Box Arena tonight, the same venue where Dave Allen stopped him in May 2025. He faces Belgian heavyweight Michael Pirotton in the main event of Zuffa Boxing 11. It is Fisher's first fight since leaving Matchroom, his first with new trainer Tony Sims and his first in 294 days.
Bookmakers still make the Romford Bull a heavy favourite. The price has eased since earlier in the week, though. Pirotton has never been stopped, and the market is paying more attention to the man from Liège than it did when the fight was first priced.
When is the Johnny Fisher Fight Tonight?
Fisher vs Pirotton takes place tonight, Saturday 26 September 2026, at the Copper Box Arena in Stratford, London. The main card starts at 7pm, and ring walks for the main event are expected at around 9.45pm to 10.15pm.
It is a 10-round heavyweight contest with no title at stake.
At Friday's weigh-in, Fisher came in at 243lb and Pirotton at 240.6lb.

Fisher is the favourite at a best price of 1/6, which gives him an implied chance of around 86%. Pirotton is 8/1, or about 11%, and the draw is 25/1 (roughly 4%).
Pirotton's price has come in over the week. On Tuesday morning Fisher was 1/10 best and Pirotton 10/1.
The reasons are easy to find in the records. Fisher is 14-1 with 12 knockouts. Allen stopped him in five rounds at this venue, and his most recent fight, a fourth-round stoppage of Ivan Balaz in Monte Carlo last December, was an untidy win. Pirotton is 12-2 with six knockouts, stands 6ft 5in and has never been dropped or stopped. His two defeats, to Piotr Lacz and Juan Alberts in 2025, both went to the scorecards.

Odds are subject to fluctuation and correct as of 08:48 BST, Saturday 26 September 2026.
Fisher by stoppage at 3/10 implies roughly a 77% chance, which is most of his overall win price. Fisher on points at 15/4 (about 21%) reflects Pirotton's durability, because nobody has yet found a way to stop him.
Pirotton has said he plans to be "the matador" against the bull, but the market gives him little chance of doing it inside the distance.
