Let’s dive deep to learn more about the match and the fighters.
Jonny Fisher, also known as The Romford Bull, is a British professional boxer, born on February 27, 1999, in Romford, London Borough of Havering, England. He started his boxing career in childhood side by side, playing rugby. Fisher said the high physical sport helped him to have a good grounding in his boxing career. He stopped boxing in his teens but picked up back in his second year of university with a spar against Joe Joyce. In his amateur career, Fisher fought only ten bouts and emerged victorious by perfecting his boxing talent to place his step into a professional career. On February 20, 2021, he successfully made his professional debut against Matt Gordon on the undercard for David Avanesyan vs Josh Kelly at Wembley Arena. Fisher won the fight with a technical knockout in the first round, while his opponent couldn’t keep up with his strength. In his second fight against Phil Williams, Fisher won by technical knockout again due to his remarkable technique and strength. Fisher fought many fights after his debut, and in every bout, he won against the opponent with a knockout to show his might. Then, on the undercard of Anthony Joshua vs Rober Helenius at O2 Arena, Fisher won his first title, the Southern Area Heavyweight, by winning against Harry Armstrong via technical knockout in the 7th round. And now He is scheduled to fight Alen Babic on July 6, 2024, where fans are waiting to see his outstanding fight against his opponent and keep his unbeaten record straight or lose in the ring.

Prediction
Johnny Fisher vs Alen Babic
The undefeated fighter Johnny Fisher, aka the Romford Bull, is preparing to face his opponent Alen Babic in the upcoming bout. Fisher fought 11 fights in his professional career and won 10 with knockout and 1 via decision; he also holds a 91% knockout percentage. Fisher possesses a remarkable natural power in his fighting technique. Fans compare his heavy-handedness and power with heavyweight fighters like Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury. Before boxing, Fisher usually played rugby, which created a solid foundation for his innate talent. We can also look into his blemish in this fight; Fisher uses an orthodox stance the same as his opponent. Also, his fight with Gabriel Enguema revealed weakness and made him look like a less polished fighter. Still, he maintained his undefeated track record and hopes to hold still in this fight against Babic.
Alen Babic enters the ring to fight against Johnny Fisher and make him face defeat for the first time in his professional career. Looking into Babic’s fights, he is well versed in knocking out his opponent like Fisher and uses the same orthodox stance. In his 13 fights, Babic won 12 fights and lost 1. He holds the record of wins by 11 via knockout and 1 via decision. In his match with Lukasz Rozanski for the WBC Bridgerweight title on April 22, 2023, he faced the first defeat in his career and lost the fight via knockout. Still, without losing his mind, Babic made his comeback with a win in the next fight against Steve Robinson. Fans always encourage his aggressive fighting style, which made numerous knockout victories in his career. Also, it shows his rigid approach and determination against his opponent in the ring. If we look at his weaknesses, Babic will face some disadvantages, such as being shorter than other heavyweight fighters. Also, he has to improve his unrefined, aggressive fighting style in his upcoming fights to overcome more vigorous opponents. Even though Babic is determined to win this fight, Fisher holds the upper hand against him in the ring and will win via knockout.
The Pick: Johnny Fisher via Knockout
