"I Reckon I've Got a Good Chance Against Ngannou" with Romford Bull Johnny Fisher

This week, I have heavyweight contender Johnny Fisher, boasting an undefeated record and a knockout punch, here to share his journey to the top. From humble beginnings to the ring lights, Johnny discusses his passion for boxing, drawing parallels with rugby and highlighting the sport's camaraderie. Amidst the chaos of battle, he offers insights into his mindset and the role of his coach, reflecting on choosing boxing over academia and the mental challenges it entails. Step into the ring with Johnny Fisher and discover what it takes to be a heavyweight contender.
Who is Johnny Fisher:
Meet Johnny Fisher, aka "The Romford Bull," hailing proudly from Romford, London, and making serious waves in the heavyweight division. Armed with an undefeated record and a knockout percentage that speaks volumes, Johnny's rugby background paved the way for his unstoppable force in boxing. Since turning pro in 2021, he's left a trail of fallen opponents, with a debut that set the stage for his rise, including sharing the bill with Anthony Joshua. Putting his university degree on hold, Johnny sparred with Joe Joyce in Las Vegas, showcasing not only his brawling prowess but also his strategic acumen.
Key takeaways:
Commitment Over Comfort: Johnny's choice to prioritise his boxing career over completing his university degree demonstrates his willingness to make tough sacrifices for his passion. This decision underscores the importance of dedication and seizing opportunities, even when they require stepping out of your comfort zone.
Athletic Adaptability: Johnny's switch from rugby to boxing shows the importance of trying different sports. His rugby background gave him not just strength, but also the grit and resilience needed in pro boxing. This emphasises how cross-training and skills from various sports can be very helpful.
Family Influence: Johnny's connection to his father, "Big John," a former boxer and social media figure, emphasises the significance of family support and legacy. Drawing inspiration and guidance from his dad’s experiences, Johnny benefits from a strong support system and a shared passion within the family.

Now is not the time to call out ngannou when he is dealing with the passing of his child

[@smithjohn4942]

You fool he didn’t call out Ngannou he just said if they ever fought he would back himself to win.

[@d.b.cooper1]

Hmm word on the street is he has a very iffy reputation with PEDs...watch this space.

[@hofmiller9197]

Why don't you ask him about dating men as well? Why do you assume he likes women only? 🤔

[@stevem7250]
