British heavyweight fighter Johnny Fisher takes to the ring on Saturday night for a huge fight on the undercard of Anthony Joshua vs Robert Helenius.
The 24-year-old, whose father John has helped promote a fledgling boxing career through his 'BOSH' catchphrase on TikTok, will fight for the Southern Area Heavyweight title against Harry Armstrong. The Romford Bull has so far won eight of his nine professional fights via knockout and faces a tough challenge against Armstrong (5-1-1) at the O2.
Ahead of the fight, Fisher said: "I’m looking forward to the challenge. You say it’s getting real, but it’s been real to me from the very start. I’ve prepared no differently, every time I get in the ring it’s do or die, so Harry better be ready for that.
Anthony Joshua will face Robert Helenius in a 12-round main event at The O2 in London this Saturday August 12, shown exclusively live worldwide on DAZN – with fans now able to view as part of their regular subscription. DAZN is the home of all the major fights from the boxing world and Saturday’s sold-out event will now be available to watch worldwide on the service.

"I’m excited at the prospect of getting more rounds in. I haven’t had to so far, that’s testament to my power, but it means you haven’t seen the best of me, no-one has yet. If Harry is up to the challenge on Saturday night, he’ll be seeing the best of me and feeling it first-hand.
"I’m not overlooking this at all, it’s a big night for me. It’s all well and good talking about it here, but when you feel that power, all these heavyweights up here know, the words go out the window, so I don’t need to say any more, when you feel that right hand on the chin."
