Full Card Confirmed for Johnny Fisher vs Michael Pirotton at Copper Box Arena

A full lineup of bouts has been confirmed for Zuffa Boxing 11, headlined by the clash between Johnny Fisher and Michael Pirotton. The event is scheduled to take place at London’s Copper Box Arena on September 26 and will be broadcast live on Sky Sports.

The undercard features a constellation of undefeated fighters. Kayla Allen will make her professional debut against German prospect Lisa Mronsz, who also enters the ring with an unblemished record. Additionally, Alex MacMillan aims to extend his winning streak when he faces French fighter Guillaume Azagier. Both preliminary contests are set for six rounds.

MacMillan, a 4-0 fighter with three knockouts, expressed his enthusiasm for the upcoming matchup. “At the Copper Box you’ll see ‘The Villan’ return early doors but you’ll expect excitement, bad intentions as always. I’m always looking for a knockout,” he said. He added, “When I’m in there it’s pure excitement as you’ve seen in the last show and it’s going to be the exact the same going forward. I’ll put on a boxing masterclass but also with spite in my work.”

Other notable matches include Preston prospect Leon Hughes taking on 10-3 light-heavyweight Michael Stephenson. Cesar Mateo Tapia, who is unbeaten in 19 professional contests, will face Leo Ruiz, a Mexican-born fighter based in California with a 17-1 record. Tapia, who was born in Mexico and raised in Australia, makes his UK and Zuffa Boxing debut. His most recent outing was in March 2025, where he stopped Sergei Vorobev in five rounds. Ruiz, trained by Robert Garcia, has won his last two fights, including a fourth-round knockout of Casey James Streeter at Zuffa Boxing 03 in February.

London-based Moldovan fighter Aurel Ignat will risk his unbeaten record against Rogelio Romero, a 6-0 prospect from Juarez with a perfect knockout ratio. Ignat gained attention last year after shocking Scott Forrest with a first-round TKO. Romero reached the quarter-finals of the Tokyo Olympics as an amateur, where he lost to Cuban gold medalist Arlen Lopez.

Further down the card, national amateur champion Fred Pullen makes his professional bow against Italy’s Leonardo Faretina. In a clash of unbeaten prospects, America’s Alexis De La Cerda faces Ireland’s Cain Lewis. The chief support bout sees former world light-heavyweight title challenger Craig Richards square off against Radivoje “Hot Rod” Kalajdzic, while British middleweights Lee Cutler and Louis Greene are also set to collide in an action-packed contest.
