- Dana White told Sky Sports he expects Fisher to reach "another level" in his next fight, saying pushing through exhaustion "takes you to another level" for the next bout
- Johnny Fisher won a draining 10-round Zuffa Boxing debut against Michael Pirotton in September but visibly gassed out in the final couple of rounds
- White invited Fisher to Las Vegas to train at the UFC Performance Institute, noting Fisher had said he may have overtrained for the Pirotton fight
- Former IBF heavyweight champion Charles Martin is open to fighting Fisher, with manager Mike Borao telling Sky Sports Martin wants "one more big push," possibly in Britain next year
- Dillian Whyte was ringside at the Copper Box for Fisher's last bout, and is named alongside Fisher as a potential opponent for Martin
Why it matters: Fisher's transition from domestic prospect to Zuffa Boxing roster hinges on whether the UFC Performance Institute can fix the conditioning failures White himself flagged, with former IBF champion Charles Martin publicly circling as a meaningful step-up opponent if Fisher shows improvement.
