Johnny Fisher vs Michael Pirotton: Full card set for September 26 bill at Copper Box Arena live on Sky Sports

A full card of unbeaten prospects and rising talents has been locked in for the Johnny Fisher versus Michael Pirotton headline bout at the Copper Box Arena, with the event set to air live on Sky Sports on September 26. According to Ring Magazine, Fisher's record stands at 14-1 with 12 knockouts, while Pirotton arrives with a 12-2 record and 6 knockouts, with the main event scheduled for 10 rounds at heavyweight.

Making her professional debut on the Zuffa Boxing 11 card will be Kayla Allen, who faces unbeaten German prospect Lisa Mronsz over six rounds. Alongside her, Alex MacMillan continues his undefeated run against 2-0 Frenchman Guillaume Azagier in another six-round contest.

At the Copper Box you'll see 'The Villan' return early doors but you'll expect excitement, bad intentions as always. I'm always looking for a knockout. When I'm in there it's pure excitement as you've seen in the last show and it's going to be the exact the same going forward. I'll put on a boxing masterclass but also with spite in my work.

MacMillan, who holds a 4-0 record with 3 knockouts, made those remarks about his appearance on the undercard.

Preston's Leon Hughes, an unbeaten light-heavyweight prospect, will face 10-3 Michael Stephenson in another bout on the evening's undercard.

Cesar Mateo Tapia, who boasts an unbeaten record of 18-0-1 with 11 knockouts, makes both his UK and Zuffa Boxing debuts against Leo Ruiz. The Mexican-born, Australia-raised Tapia last competed in March 2025, when he stopped Sergei Vorobev in the fifth round. Ruiz, trained by renowned coach Robert Garcia and based in California, carries a 17-1 professional record. The Zacatecas native has recorded two victories since his sole defeat, including a fourth-round knockout of Casey James Streeter at Zuffa Boxing 03 in February.

Moldovan fighter Aurel Ignat, who shocked Scott Forrest with a first-round knockout victory last year, defends his unbeaten status against Rogelio Romero. The Juarez prospect holds a 6-0 record with a perfect knockout ratio. As an amateur, Romero reached the quarter-finals of the Tokyo Olympics before losing to Cuban gold medallist Arlen Lopez.

Fred Pullen, a national amateur champion, makes his professional debut against Italy's Leonardo Faretina. In another clash of unbeaten prospects, America's Alexis De La Cerda meets Ireland's Cain Lewis.

The card also features former world light-heavyweight title challenger Craig Richards in the chief support slot against Radivoje "Hot Rod" Kalajdzic. British middleweights Lee Cutler and Louis Greene round out the bill in an all-action encounter.

According to Sky Sports' live boxing schedule, ring walks are expected around 10:00pm UK time on September 26, with the broadcast split across Sky Sports+ and Sky Sports Main Event.
