Tonight’s so-called heavyweight war at London’s Copper Box was less a battle and more a blink-and-you-miss-it wipeout. Johnny Fisher, known affectionately as “The Romford Bull,” practically bulldozed through Alen Babic, who some might argue has more in common with a nightclub bouncer than a professional boxer.

From the start, Fisher unleashed hell, with his first hefty right hand sending Babic for a brief tour across the ring. The outcome was clear from that moment; this wasn’t going to last long. Fisher, all guns blazing, then sent Babic crashing to the canvas. “The Savage” scrambled up, but his legs were doing a comedy routine, and the ref, probably to save him from himself, stopped the farce at just 36 seconds.

With this display, 25-year-old Fisher moves to an immaculate 12-0 (11 KOs), while 33-year-old Babic drops to a less flattering 12-2 (11 KOs). Fisher, backed by a legion of fans, was expected to face a serious test tonight. Instead, he turned the lights out early and is now eyeing bigger, hopefully more challenging skirmishes.

Before the mismatch, promoter Eddie Hearn might’ve hyped Fisher up as the next big thing in British boxing. Now, we’re left to buckle up and see where Fisher’s quick fists take us next. Post-match, Fisher fancied a future fight in Australia, maybe hoping for opponents as underwhelming as tonight’s.

As for Babic, well, the road ahead looks bleak, possibly leading straight to retirement. The man has entertained us with some moments of brawling glory, but it seems his chin has checked out early. After nearly consecutive first-round knockouts, one wonders if he’s better off checking IDs at the door rather than taking more punches.

Fisher, with tonight’s brief exertion under his belt, might squeeze in a couple more fights before the year’s end. Eddie Hearn and the rest of us are eager to see if Fisher can actually break a sweat next time.
