Johnny Fisher will reach "another level" for his next fight, according to Zuffa Boxing founder Dana White. Fisher had his first bout with new promoter Zuffa Boxing in September, coming through a draining 10-round battle with Michael Pirotton.
White praised Fisher's performance despite his struggles in the later rounds. "He looked good until he started gassing out in the last couple of rounds. But he fought through it, won the fight and I'm excited to see him fight again," White told Sky Sports. Fisher is a hugely popular figure on social media, known for his love of Chinese takeout, but he may need to improve his conditioning. White has invited him to use the UFC's Performance Institute in Las Vegas, noting that Fisher may have overtrained for the fight.
White said the experience will benefit Fisher. "Mentally now he knows what he did. Did he overtrain, did he not train enough? He knows and now he knows what he needs to fix coming into his next fight," the promoter said.
Fisher has appealing options ahead. Dillian Whyte was ringside for his last bout at the Copper Box, and former IBF heavyweight champion Charles Martin is open to fighting Fisher. Martin's manager Mike Borao said, "He wants one more big opportunity," adding that Martin is looking to fight in Britain again next year.
