Fisher wants to face Prenga in early 2027

Johnny Fisher wants to return to the ring in early 2027 and has named Kristian Prenga as his opponent. Prenga produced a major upset in Anthony Joshua's warm-up fight ahead of the huge bout with Tyson Fury.

In the fight last July, Prenga knocked Joshua down twice in the first round and came very close to winning. However, Joshua recovered in the second round and knocked out his opponent. This performance drew the attention of the boxing world to Prenga.

Fisher said that taking on an opponent who had given Joshua such a hard time would be a good step up for him. Fisher noted that Prenga is known for his knockout power and his ability to floor opponents. Fisher also said that small details decide the outcome in boxing, which is why he expects the fight to be exciting.

Fisher's last fight was against Michael Pirotton in September, and it turned into a tough battle. Fisher said he boxed well in the first four rounds but could not find his second wind. He said these issues can be corrected.

Fisher also noted that Dillian Whyte's name has come up, but he must first pass another test before a big fight planned for the summer.
