“I’ve been made a proposal by Zuffa or Zafa, whatever it’s called. And I’ve put that to Eddie,” Fisher said to The Stomping Ground.
“The cash is one thing, and it’s for the extent of the fights that I’m being asked to have. It’s type of six or seven times what I’ve been offered by Eddie. So I’ve got to think about it and I’ve got to place that towards Eddie surely.”
Fisher’s comments come as several British fighters have explored opportunities with Zuffa Boxing, which has been aggressively entering the boxing market while competing with established promoters resembling Matchroom and Queensberry.
“I said that’s irrelevant. It wouldn’t be right to attempt to challenge that. I would like to offer Eddie the prospect to offer me something near that or to that. So let’s see what Eddie comes back with,” said Fisher.
The 26-year-old also revealed that the Zuffa proposal is currently for a single fight, but described the financial package as difficult to disregard.
“I’ve been offered a one-fight deal, however it is phenomenal money,” said Fisher.
“I’d be a madman to not. It’s also the promotional side of it, obviously, with Sky Sports and what they will offer me as well.”
Fisher has not fought since his December rematch victory over Dave Allen in Monaco. A planned return earlier this 12 months did not materialize, leaving him wanting to get back into the ring.
Johnny says the ball is in Matchroom’s court. If Hearn can get near the offer, he may stay where he’s. If not, one in all British boxing’s biggest ticket sellers could soon turn into one in all Zuffa Boxing’s highest-profile signings.
