Despite the mutual love of Chinese food, Fisher is now observing a strict diet and since the Babic fight plans to get “straight back on to healthy living” as he looks to return to the ring next month, possibly in Manchester.
“I know how difficult this sport is, I know how humble you have to be because heavyweight boxing is a case of anything can happen at any time,” he said.
“Although I had a hard training camp, it was only a 30-second fight and I want to keep nice and active.”
As his own reputation in the ring grows, he still has a way to go to rival his dad who Fisher thinks is “probably the most famous man in Essex at this point”.
He added: “Whenever we walk around anywhere, we can’t have a minute without him getting recognised. But it’s brilliant because he’s worked hard all his life.
“We set up a business selling meat door to door during Covid lockdown and they were tough times, my dad had the stress and strain of that.
“He’s still working, not earning a fortune, but he gets to do things in more of a fun way – doing DJ sets in Australia, for example, unbelievable stuff.”
