Dana White Predicts Johnny Fisher's Growth Ahead of Next Fight Against Charles Martin
Summary
Johnny Fisher is set to elevate his game in his next fight, as stated by Dana White, the founder of Zuffa Boxing. Following his first bout with the new promoter in September, where he triumphed in a grueling 10-round contest against Michael Pirotton, White expressed his enthusiasm for Fisher's future.
White noted, "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." He highlighted Fisher's popularity, particularly on social media, where the boxer is well-known for his affinity for Chinese takeout.
To address Fisher's conditioning, White has encouraged him to utilize the UFC's Performance Institute. He remarked, "He should absolutely positively come out to Las Vegas and spend some time at the PI. All the fighters should. It's incredible."
The promoter also reflected on Fisher's performance, stating, "He didn't look terrible. He gassed out there... when you see a guy gas like he did and you push yourself through, you don't quit and you make it through that, it just takes you to another level for your next fight."
Looking ahead, Fisher has several enticing options for his next matchup. Dillian Whyte was present at Fisher's last fight, and Charles Martin, a former world champion, has expressed interest in facing Fisher. Mike Borao, Martin's manager, stated, "He's had an amazing career and became IBF heavyweight champion. He wants one more big opportunity." As Martin eyes a return to the UK ring next year, potential opponents include Fisher and Whyte, making for an exciting landscape in heavyweight boxing.
