JOHNNY FISHER is too elegant to push Alen Babic, says the Croatian security guard.
The 25-year-old heavyweight is a fan favorite thanks to his knockout power, social media star father Big John and the elegant way he carries himself.
The strapping Romford Bull is a hero at Exeter – as well as Essex – after graduating with a 2:1 history degree at university and starring in the rugby team.
But Saturday night’s opponent, Babic – a 33-year-old former doorman and graduate of the school of hard knocks – thinks he will teach the Bachelor of Arts a lesson.
The shaved-headed slugger said: “Me and Johnny have very different, very different stories.
“I only knew one way, so me being here means much more than him being here.
“I was destined to be in prison or dead or even robbing drug dealers, I was destined for all the worst things
“This is a collision of two worlds, we are two worlds away from each other.
“There’s a big age difference – and everything – and that will be revealed on Saturday.”
Babic was a fan-friendly wrecking ball when he arrived on the scene – ignoring almost every basic rule of boxing.

After 11 violent victories – nine in the UK, where he earned the nickname The Savage – he received a world title shot in April 2023, in the new and unnecessary bridgeweight title.
The beating he suffered against Lukasz Rozanski was brutal, but nothing compares to the fights that followed and changed his perspective.
“I don’t want belts,” he growled with conviction. “I just want fights that the fans can enjoy.
“I fought for the world title last time and it fucked up my whole life.
“I paid a year of my life for a year of depression, every kind of bad thing you can imagine
“I paid with my own blood, literally. And I will never do that again.”
