JOHNNY FISHER returns to the ring on Saturday night for a huge heavyweight clash in Monte Carlo.
The Romford Bull was knocked out by Dave Allen in the pair’s blockbuster rematch back in May.


The Doncaster-born fighter avenged his controversial defeat to Fisher last December as he produced a devastating left hook to stop the internet sensation in the fifth round.
Fisher is now looking to get back to winning ways under the guidance of new coach Tony Simms.
He faces Ivan Balaz after his initial opponent, Herbert Matavu, was removed from the bout.
A Matchroom Boxing source confirmed to SunSport that Matovu – who has boxed across Africa, Russia and Japan – had visa issues for Monaco.
Fisher has his eyes on an all-British clash with the unbeaten Moses Itauma, but he will first need to rise back up the heavyweight division.
The pair meet on a stacked Monte Carlo bill that is topped by the European title fight between Shabaz Masoud and Peter McGrail.
