- Dana White expects Johnny Fisher to reach "another level" in his next fight, citing his ability to push through fatigue in his Zuffa debut against Michael Pirotton in September 2026
- Dana White invited Johnny Fisher to train at the UFC Performance Institute in Las Vegas to improve conditioning, emphasizing it as a key benefit of being part of Zuffa Boxing
- Johnny Fisher showed signs of gassing in the later rounds of his 10-round win over Michael Pirotton, a bout White attributed possibly to overtraining
- Charles Martin is open to fighting Johnny Fisher, with his manager Mike Borao confirming the former IBF champion wants one more big opportunity in Britain
