When and why you started boxing:โจ
A week before my 11th birthday my dad put a bag up in my room and then took me to the boxing club.
Favourite all-time fighter:โจ
Mike Tyson because of his persona. He was almost bigger than boxing.
Best fight you’ve seen:โจ
The ABA semi-final between Jordan Reynolds and Ben Fail in 2017. It was a brilliant fight.
Personal career highlight:
Beating Martin Stead to win the Combined Services title for the Navy for the third time. [Fisher served in the Royal Navy for four-and-a-half years]. I was over the moon with that one.
Toughest opponent:
Team GB boxer Pat McCormack. I boxed him in the amateurs. He was different gravy โ a really good fighter.
Best and worst attributes as a boxer:โจ
My best attribute is my ability to change the pace of a fight โ speed it up or slow it down as and when I please. My worst is that I get too involved sometimes, especially in sparring.
Training tip:โจ
You need to train properly, get your nutrition and rest up. A lot of people forget how important it is to rest.
Favourite meal/restaurant:โจ
Chicken korma from any good curry house.
Best friends in boxing:
Kallum Radley and Bradley Chapman, who I met and trained with in the Navy.
Other sportsman you would like to be:
Rory McIlroy. You can make a lot of money from golf and itโs not exactly strenuous.
Last film/TV show you saw:
The documentary, Abducted in Plain Sight. Itโs a strange one but Iโm really into that stuff.
Who would play you in a film of your life:
Someone charismatic and good-looking hopefully!
Have you ever been starstruck:
Not really, although I met Anthony Joshua a few times before he became massive.
Last time you cried:
Watching [TV series] Long Lost Family.
Best advice received:
โStick at it.โ My mum and dad said this to me when I considered quitting boxing in the past. Iโm glad I listened to them, as Iโve come a long way since then.
Worst rumour about yourself:
I donโt think Iโve heard anything. When I hear the first rumour about me, Iโll know Iโve made it!
Something not many people know about you: I love cooking. If I wasnโt a boxer, Iโd probably be a chef. Iโd be a fat one as well!
