“When Johnny started he didn’t have an amateur background, so it’s not a guy who’s come out of the Olympics or world championships and you’re thinking, ‘This guy is gonna win world titles.’ But at the end of the day I did believe that Johnny Fisher, going into the Dave Allen fight, could certainly win British, Commonwealth championships, and I still believe that as well. We haven’t really had to reassess anything but we’ve probably had to take a step back and maybe allow him to get the development he needs to get himself into that position.”
