The Briton is entering a new stage of his career.
Johnny Fisher became a promotional free agent earlier this year after his deal with Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing expired.
Talks over a new agreement were reportedly ongoing before Zuffa Boxing made a lucrative offer to the 27-year-old.
It has since been announced that Fisher has opted to accept the invitation to join Dana White’s evergrowing roster.
What did Johnny Fisher say about the move?
The ‘Romford Bull’ is preparing to headline Zuffa Boxing 11 at London’s Copper Box Arena on September 26.
Fisher revealed to Sky Sports: “The most exciting chapter of my professional career begins.
“Thank you to Dana White, Nick Khan, and the Zuffa Boxing team for this opportunity.
“Everything has led to this point. Bull Army, get ready to assemble. Bosh!”
Fisher will make his third appearance at the Copper Box when he headlines Zuffa Boxing 11.
Further details, including his opponent and ticket information, are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
Fisher continued: “I’m really excited to be on the platform that is Sky Sports. That was the first thing that came my mind.
“That is the home of football, the home of all the sports in the UK and I want to be part of that on that massive platform.
“I want to take my career to the next level and I think this is the place to be.
“I can bring blood and guts, I can bring war and I can bring tear ups to your Saturday nights.
“There’s an appetite for it. Everyone loves heavyweight boxing and I go in there to seek and destroy – and there’s a big chance I could be sought and destroyed as well.
“That’s exciting for people to watch.
“I always wear my heart on my sleeve, I always give 110 per cent.”
