'He hits you like an absolute horse' - Johnny Fisher names the hardest puncher in the heavyweight division

'He hits you like an absolute horse' - Johnny Fisher names the hardest puncher in the heavyweight divisionMark Robinson/Matchroom Boxing
The Romford fighter is preparing for his Riyadh Season debut.

Johnny Fisher is preparing for what will be a huge moment in his career. 

On December 21, Fisher will appear on the undercard of Oleksandr Usyk's rematch with Tyson Fury in his Riyadh Season debut live on DAZN PPV. In the opposite corner will be the experienced David Allen who is coming towards the end of his boxing career. 

Despite having little to no amateur experience, Fisher's development has been an impressive one as he currently boasts a 12-0 record with 11 wins coming by way of knockout.

Away from in-ring competition, Fisher has trained with some of the heavyweight division's best fighters including Anthony Joshua, Tyson Fury and current IBF heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois. 

All three of those names have made a name for themselves when it comes to punching power, and when making an appearance on the Take A Seat podcast, Fisher revealed who is the hardest puncher. 

“[Dubois] He can whack, he can seriously punch," Fisher said.

“He’s the hardest I have been punched by ever and his jab is like a right hand when it hits you.

“It is unbelievable power. He hits you like an absolute horse.”

Dubois' power has toppled some notable names in the heavyweight division, most recently it was two-time champion Anthony Joshua who found himself on the end of some brutal blows from 'Dynamite' who knocked out his domestic rival in the fifth round of their Wembley Stadium showdown in September.
