Johnny Fisher Stops Late Replacement Ivan Balaz in Fourth-Round TKO in Monaco

The win begins his rebuild under new trainer Tony Sims following a knockout loss to Dave Allen in May.

Overview

  • The British heavyweight was sent to the canvas in the opening round, but the referee did not signal a knockdown.
  • He was deducted a point for a low blow in round two before steadying his work behind cleaner shots.
  • Fisher finished the fight with three knockdowns in the fourth round to force the stoppage.
  • Balaz stepped in on short notice after scheduled opponent Herbert Matovu withdrew because of visa issues.
  • The bout took place at Monte Carlo’s Salle des Etoiles and streamed on DAZN, with a vocal contingent of Fisher’s “Bosh Soldiers” in attendance.
