Johnny Fisher is set to make his Zuffa Boxing debut when he locks horns with Michael Pirotton at London's Copper Box Arena this weekend.
'The Romford Bull' signed with Eddie Hearn's Matchroom Boxing ahead of his professional boxing debut against Matt Gordon in February 2021, where he emerged victorious in the first round via TKO.
Fisher and Hearn shared a strong rapport during their near five-year alliance, but the two parted ways in mid-2026 following the expiration of the 27-year-old's contract.
While the Matchroom chairman had publicly expressed a willingness to open discussions regarding Fisher's renewal with the promotional company, Hearn admitted that they could not match the massive financial proposal or the specific matchmaking approach offered by Dana White's Zuffa Boxing.
It was announced that Fisher had signed with Zuffa in July, and he's set to return to the ring for the first time since December 2025 when facing 12-2 heavyweight Michael Pirotton on Saturday night.
We take a look at how much Fisher could be in line to earn from his Zuffa Boxing debut.
How much will Johnny Fisher earn from Zuffa Boxing debut?
While Fisher's earnings from his upcoming fight against Pirotton remain undisclosed, he is expected to bank a significantly elevated six-figure fee, or even a payout just north of £1million.
Reports suggested that Fisher will pocket 6.5x more from his Zuffa contract than what he was earning with Matchroom. When questioned by journalist Ariel Helwani on the accuracy behind these reports, 'The Romford Bull' responded:
"That is an accurate number. Without going into the actual nitty-gritty of numbers, that is what they were offering me.
"I'm actually being offered double or triple what I would have been offered to fight something for a British title under Eddie [Hearn]," he added.
Irrespective of if Fisher takes home a fee at the higher end of the six-figure scale or the lower end of the seven-figure scale, Saturday night's bout will represent his biggest-ever payday, with his rematch with Dave Allen likely his largest payout thus far.
