Pirotton vows to be ‘matador’ against ‘money cow’ Fisher
“He’s given us some great nights. I’m sure he would be a great bit of excitement for the Romford Bull Army.”
He added: “That’s a big name fight. These guys have had fantastic careers in their own right. There’s no bones about the fact that they’re coming to the ends of their careers. That’s why it probably works proportionally to fight someone like me now. Because one, I’ve got a big profile but two, so have they.
“The appeal for me and my fanbase is fighting them guys because they’ve got bigger names, the Wilders and the Dillian Whytes. I’ve got a good chance of getting someone like Dillian Whyte, I really do think.”
Fisher is a powerful puncher, and with former <a I've had a lot of people this week talking to me about fighting Deontay Wilder. Listen I would never call on that myself. I wouldn't be that disrespectful to someone of the level of Deontay Wilder," Fisher reflected.

Fisher aims to showcase a more refined boxing style when he takes on Pirotton this Saturday, having trained diligently with Tony Sims to achieve that goal.
“I’m a heavyweight boxer and first and foremost I’m an aggressive, front-foot, combination-punching heavyweight and I’ve got to do that and that’s me,” he said.
“I can refine that and add to that with what Tony’s teaching me. But the big thing that Tony’s speaking to me about is don’t lose what you naturally are. Which is an aggressive come-forward fighter. We can add bits to it but you’ve got to be that.
“Physically I can use my dominant explosive self in a good way against him.”
