On Saturday, the question is what happens when Fisher reaches him. Pirotton says he has the better boxing skills, but he will need to land with enough force to make Fisher think twice about coming forward.

Fisher headlines Zuffa Boxing 11 at London’s Copper Box Arena after two uncomfortable outings. Dave Allen knocked him out last May, and Ivan Balaz put him down before Fisher came back to win in Monaco. Pirotton has watched both Allen fights and knows that Fisher can be hurt. Fisher knows it too, whatever confidence he takes from getting off the floor against Balaz.

“Skills for skills, I think I have the better of him,” Pirotton told Sky Sports. He said his team sparred in a small ring so that Saturday’s ring would feel larger. It is a sensible way to rehearse fighting under pressure, though the extra space will only help if he does something with it.
