Proper Chinese In England With Big John And Johnny Fisher... BOSH!
I was in London a couple of weeks ago and had the distinct pleasure of sitting down with "viral sensation" Big John Fisher and (more importantly) his son Johnny Fisher… A heavyweight prospect with a tremendous local following who is fighting on the undercard of the Tyson Fury versus Oleksandr Usyk rematch this weekend in Riyadh.
We spoke briefly about boxing and less-briefly about Chinese food, and I am thrilled to say I walked away not only a fan of the restaurant… Shoutout Blue Orchid in Romford…
But I'm also a HUGE fan of the Fisher family as a whole.
The dad is just a lovely guy who is unapologetically ringing the social media register off of his random food orgies involving multiple Chinese takeaway partners.
Their beautiful wife/mum is the obvious glue of the clan, and she has her capable hands full trying to keep these animals in line.
And as I said above… Most importantly… I fell in love (no Diddy) with their son Johnny. The kid is built like a brick shithouse, and I am rooting like hell for him to make his mark this weekend on the global stage and then work his way further up the ranks to a heavyweight strap.
There are a lot of people whose success I begrudge because I am a jealous asshole. But I promise that an hour spent with this family will make even the most jealous of assholes want to wish them nothing but the best of luck in everything they are doing collectively and individually.
Tune into DAZN this Saturday to watch a Main Event that should appeal to everyone and an undercard that is packed with talent that is easy to pull for…
And watch me eat everything except my own fingers in this video with the Fisher family on their home turf…
BOSH!… And take a report.

If my trip across the pond has you yearning for European delicacies, there is a new bakery in the East Village that is pumping out some of the best scones I have ever eaten…
