He has been boxing since before his teens, he stopped but only to pick it back up in his second year of university when he began to spar Joe Joyce. He formed a good relationship with him and sparred him in preparation for Joyce's fight against Daniel Dubois. Fisher said that Joyce's "force has brought my strength along too" and that he is the "closest thing he has seen to a real life human wrecking machine".[2]
