      Who is Johnny Fisher?
      Johnny Fisher is a 24-year-old heavyweight boxer from Romford, London Borough of Havering, England, who goes by the moniker The Romford Bull.
      Johnny played rugby as well as boxing before turning professional and says the physicality of the sport was good preparation for a career as a fighter.
      He started boxing as a child, but stopped in his early teens, only to pick it up again during his second year of university when he sparred with Joe Joyce. The two boxers formed a good relationship and Johnny sparred with Joe as he prepared for his heavyweight contest against Daniel Dubois.
      Fisher explained that Joyce’s “force has brought my strength along too” and that he is the “closest thing he has seen to a real-life human wrecking machine”.

      AJ – who returned to the win column in April with a decision win over Jermaine Franklin – was initially due to face long-time rival Dillian Whyte in a trilogy fight.
      But their domestic dust-up was scrapped last weekend when it emerged that Brixton bad boy Whyte had failed multiple pre-fight drug tests.
      Joshua and Helenis, 33 and 39 respectively, took part in a fiery final face-off after Friday afternoon’s weigh-ins at Westfield Shepherd’s Bush.
      The staredown left most fight fans wondering if Joshua will be able back up his uncharacteristic weigh-in trash talk and blow his one-time sparring partner out of the water.

      But some boxing fans are wondering how their respective bank balances stack up agaisnt one another.
      What is Anthony Joshua’s net worth?
      In of 2020, Forbes had the Watford warrior’s net worth at a whopping £38.1million ($47million).

      Millionaire status is something AJ dreamed of when he began his career, but his sights are now set on becoming a billionaire.
      He told GQ: “When I first started, the aim was to become a multi-millionaire.
      “But now there are ordinary people, grandmas and grandads, who are worth millions just because of property prices.
      “So, the new school of thought is that I need to be a billionaire.
      “Being a millionaire is good but you have to set your sights higher.”
      What is Robert Helenius’ net worth?
      Veteran heavyweight Helenius hasn’t taken part in a single fight which can be considered as incredibly lucrative.

      The Swedish-born Finn reportedly took home a cool £1million for his brutal first-round KO defeat to Deontay Wilder last October.
      But according to reports, the veteran heavyweight has accrued a net worth of £4million ($5million) in his 36-fight career.
      Joshua’s cancelled clash with Whyte was set to earn him a pretty penny as it was a pay-per-view offering on DAZN.
      But the international broadcaster made his clash with Helenius available to their regular subscribers following Whyte’s withdrawal.
      And promoter Eddie Hearn has claimed AJ’s purse for his second outing of the year took a major hit as a result of Whyte’s third career-failed drugs test.
      The Matchroom Boxing chief told talkSPORT: “We are taking the fight off pay-per-view.
