Johnny Fisher’s first main event was a rousing success, as the heavyweight contender defeated cult favorite Alen Babić in just 0.5 seconds.

Fisher quickly found space for his right hand – never too hard with Babić and his complete indifference to defense – and the game was over quite quickly. Babic might have survived a little longer if he hadn’t got up so quickly on such shaky legs, but it was clear that for Fisher he was just a sitting duck.

You don’t want to operate it to gain too excited about the immediate prospects for Fisher (12-0, 11 KO), although this is an fascinating achievement under his belt. Babic (12-2, 11 KO) was a fun story for a while, but we saw him get dropped and stopped by much smaller men who simply didn’t hit as challenging as Fisher, and the truth is Babic doesn’t do that . have the real skill set of a professional boxer and it will be as entertaining as possible to watch.

In miniature, it was a difference in size and a matchup right behind Babic, but Babic had little face value. And that’s why Eddie Hearn took the fight. Don’t expect Hearn to push the 25-year-old ‘Romford Bull’ up the ladder from here; rather, you can expect him to get back to the level he was at, maybe a little higher, and there’s nothing wrong with that. This is the right path of development. Babic was an intriguing side trip, a main event, and worth some money compared to Fisher’s average opponent.

On the card below, Reece Bellotti (19-5, 14 KO) continued his mid-1930s resurgence by defending his British and Commonwealth super featherweight titles with a decision victory over Levi Giles (15-2, 4 KO). The scores were 117–110, 118–110, and 118–110.

We witnessed an upset when Jasmina Zapotoczna (8-1, 0 KO) defeated flyweight candidate Maisey Rose Courtney (6-1, 0 KO) over 10 rounds, scoring 96-94, 97-93 and 98-92.

American super lightweight Brandun Lee has signed with Frank Warren’s Queensberry Promotions.

The 25-year-old Lee (28-0, 23 KO) has not fought for 15 months. He first started making his mark on ShoBox cards and then became a regular on Premier Boxing Champions shows.

Most recently, he defeated Pedro Campa by 10-round decision. Lee had gained some momentum as an thrilling prospect but has seen it fade a bit and of course the long period of inactivity hasn’t helped that, but getting back vigorous will certainly facilitate.

It’s also a notable move because Warren’s company hasn’t looked much outside the UK for talent acquisition to date. The company also announced the signing of Nathan Lugo, a standout American amateur who turned professional in April as a super middleweight on Overtime Boxing.

It looks like Queensberry are looking to expand their talent signing map. It’s unclear whether this means Warren will look to promote in the United States – as Matchroom’s Eddie Hearn did – but it’s also a fresh time in boxing, with Saudis supporting cards purportedly promoted by Warren and/or Hearn.

This may simply indicate that Warren sees an opportunity to expand his lineup with more options on these cards, as well as his own in the UK. Lee is a promising fighter who can quickly become a contender in a currently unstable (and intriguing) division, Lugo is a viable prospect and these are good moves considering the talent.

Top Rank promoter Bob Arum still admits he was not thrilled with the official results of the rematch between Josh Taylor and Jack Catterall, which saw Catterall take a unanimous decision on scores of 116-113, 117-111 and 117-111. Interview with Sky SportsArum claims he was personally involved in the fight and believes the score was too high in Catterall’s favor.

“Let me explain. I was in Leeds for that fight. I watched this fight closely. The fight could have ended in three ways: Catterall 7-5 [in rounds]7-5 Taylor, even 6-6,” Arum said Heavenly sports.

Arum continued by saying that the judges’ official ratings were unacceptable, although he refrained from making any accusations of corruption. With that in mind, he truly believes Taylor did no favors, which is what caused his post-fight reaction.

“I was really nervous because Taylor is my fighter, we promote him. But not necessarily because I thought he definitely won the fight. I just thought it did him a disservice that the scorecards were so broad. I was sitting next to Eddie Hearn, whose player was Catterall, and he scored a goal and it was a very, very close fight.”

In lithe of the result and the split between Taylor and Catterall after the two fights, Arum feels he naturally deserves a third fight, especially given the fan reaction to the event, but says he will have to see how it all really comes together point in this fight.
