Johnny Fisher will still be unhappy with today's bout, even after the victory, as he has been preparing for the 10-round bout for six months, but the official bout is only 36 seconds (official time).
In the early morning of July 7, 2024, Beijing time, Johnny Fisher defeated Croatian fighter Aaron Babić by knockout in the first round at the Copper Box Stadium in London, England.
The 25-year-old Johnny Fisher is currently the target of Eddie Hearn's support. Although it can't compare to Frank Warren's Daniel Dubois, it is still among the top 10 in the UK. Ahead of this match, many predicted that it would be a close match.
However, after the first round began, not even a minute was played. Johnny Fisher skipped the temptation when he entered the ring, and after five consecutive combinations, Allen Babich was already knocked to the canvas by him. Although Aaron Babich quickly stood up, his eyes were confused and he was obviously not in the state of the game, so the referee on duty announced that the game was over because Aaron Babich could not continue the game.
In his post-fight interview, Fisher said he wasn't surprised by the result and waved to fans as he stepped out of the ring to enjoy the crowd's cheers. "It was the most special night of my career and life, and I've never been more prepared than I have now," he told reporters at the scene. This night, I showed what level I can reach and I'm going to keep going and handle the training camp better than ever. I've been training with Filip Hellgovic [another Croatian heavyweight] for the last six months to fight Aaron Babić, and I really feel like I've matured a lot, and I believe I can go far. ”
Tournament promoter Eddie Hearn is also eyeing the advancement of the heavyweight rookie, and he's hoping to take it one step further. Eddie Hearn says Johnny Fisher is now capable of playing against anyone on the UK domestic stage.
"It's not a gimmick, what you see is a world-class heavyweight potential who doesn't have a lot of experience in amateur boxing (only two fights can be found), but I think he's up against any British titler, and after Fraser Clarke's fight against Fabio Waldley, I told Johnny Fisher that he could beat both of them." Eddie Hearn excitedly told reporters after the game.
Johnny Fisher's head coach Mark Tibbs is a little more ambitious, and he wants Johnny Fisher to face his former protégé and former heavyweight world title challenger Dillian White.
For Aaron Babich, who lost the match, this is already his third straight defeat. In just two years, Aaron Babich has gone from a potential rookie with the potential to compete for a world title to a heavyweight standing target, and he has to sigh at the relentlessness of time.
