Zuffa Boxing 11 Preview: Fisher vs. Pirotton Weights, Full Card and What to Watch
By Real Combat Media Boxing Editorial Staff
London, England, (September 26th, 2026)–Zuffa Boxing lands in London for the first time Saturday, headlined by British heavyweight prospect Johnny Fisher taking his talents to a new promotion in front of his home fans against Belgium’s Michael Pirotton at Copper Box Arena. Both men made weight cleanly at Friday’s official weigh-in, and a nine-fight card built around the heavyweight main event is set to stream live on Paramount+ in the United States and Sky Sports in the UK.
The Main Event
Fisher (14-1, 12 KOs) signed with Zuffa Boxing in July after spending his entire professional career under the Matchroom banner, an immediate headline slot with his new promotion. “The most exciting chapter of my professional career begins,” Fisher said when the move was announced. “Thank you to Dana White, Nick Khan, and the Zuffa Boxing team for this opportunity.” Asked about his approach heading into fight night, Fisher made clear he isn’t planning to change his identity in the ring just because the promotional logo has: “You’ve got to be who you are in the boxing ring as well.”
Pirotton (12-2, 6 KOs) arrives having won his last two fights, most recently a third-round stoppage of Jiovani Sheik, and will be boxing in England for the first time in his career. He’s well aware of what he’s walking into. “I have been working towards an opportunity like this my entire career, and the time has come,” Pirotton said. “I know it’s going to be a massive crowd of Johnny Fisher fans, but I’ll be ready.” Both men made the 10-round heavyweight main event official at Friday’s weigh-in, with Fisher tipping the scales at 243 pounds and Pirotton at 240.6.

A Few Things Worth Knowing
This is Zuffa Boxing’s first true London show rather than a single-fight import, with a nine-fight card built to establish the promotion’s UK identity rather than lean on one marquee bout. Kayla Allen’s fight against Edina Kiss also marks the promotion’s first women’s bout since launching. And for anyone tuning in early, Saturday’s broadcast opens with a cold-open sequence narrated by Tom Hardy, a small but notable production touch for a promotion still finding its footing outside Las Vegas.
