Zuffa Boxing 11 brings a heavyweight main event to London on Saturday, September 26, as England’s Johnny Fisher faces Belgium’s Michael Pirotton at the Copper Box Arena. Fisher enters with a 14-1-0 record, while Pirotton is 12-2-0. Their scheduled 10-round contest tops a card that also includes light heavyweight, middleweight, women’s super lightweight, cruiserweight, super lightweight, featherweight and lightweight bouts.
The event is set to stream live on Paramount+ in the United States. Crucially for anyone sorting out their viewing plan, Fisher vs. Pirotton is not being presented as an extra pay-per-view purchase: access is included with a Paramount+ subscription.
Fisher vs. Pirotton: time and place
Zuffa Boxing 11 takes place at Copper Box Arena in London, England, on Saturday, September 26. The overall event start is listed for 12 p.m. ET / 9 a.m. PT. The main card is scheduled to begin at 2:05 p.m. ET / 11:05 a.m. PT.
The expected main-event ringwalk time is approximately 4:45 p.m. ET / 1:45 p.m. PT. That is an estimate rather than a fixed start. In boxing, a ringwalk is the moment the fighters make their entrances before the bout; its timing can shift depending on how long the preceding fights last, as well as the breaks between them. Viewers who only want to catch the headline fight should therefore allow for a changing schedule rather than treating 4:45 p.m. ET as a guaranteed bell time.
For those watching through a TV streaming setup, make sure the correct app is signed in and ready well before the main card. Anyone dealing with unexpected spoken menus on a Roku set can also consult this guide on turning off Roku’s screen reader before the broadcast begins.
What is at stake in the main event?
Fisher is described as the heavy favorite and is seeking to continue building momentum toward a heavyweight title opportunity. The 10-round distance gives the contest a different shape from a short showcase: pacing, conditioning and the ability to handle later rounds can all matter more as the scheduled distance increases.
Pirotton arrives as the underdog, but the matchup is not framed as a routine formality. He has been characterized as having an “iron jaw” and a high knockout rate, two qualities that point toward the danger an underdog can pose in heavyweight boxing. A strong chin, in ordinary boxing language, means a fighter is regarded as capable of absorbing significant punches without being stopped. A high knockout rate refers to a large share of victories ending before the scorecards are needed.
That does not establish a result in advance. It does, however, explain the central tension of the matchup: Fisher has the favorite’s expectations and the stated title-shot ambition, while Pirotton has the attributes associated with a possible upset. In heavyweight boxing, the consequence of one clean punch can change a contest quickly, making a pre-fight favorite status useful context but not a substitute for the fight itself.

How to watch Zuffa Boxing 11
The live event is available on Paramount+. The Paramount+ Essential plan is listed as starting at $8.99 per month for new subscribers, and the service’s Zuffa Boxing coverage includes both numbered events and fight-night events.
The important distinction here is between a subscription stream and pay-per-view, often shortened to PPV. A pay-per-view event requires a separate one-off payment on top of any existing service or TV package. This card is listed as included with Paramount+, meaning subscribers can watch without an additional event charge.
A Walmart+ 30-day trial priced at $1 is also listed as a route that includes Paramount+ among its membership benefits. Separately, DirecTV’s Premier package is listed at $139.99 per month for the first three months, rising to $169.99 per month afterward, and includes Paramount+ access; a five-day DirecTV trial is listed as available. Subscription offers, trial terms and prices can change, so prospective viewers should check the applicable service before signing up.
For practical purposes, the simplest viewing checklist is short:
- Confirm that the Paramount+ account or eligible bundled benefit is active.
- Open the service ahead of the 12 p.m. ET event start if you want the full program.
- Tune in by the 2:05 p.m. ET main-card start for the featured portion of the event.
- Do not rely solely on the estimated 4:45 p.m. ET ringwalk if the main event is the priority.
Announced main card
Fisher vs. Pirotton leads six announced main-card fights. The bouts and weight classes are:
- Heavyweight: Johnny Fisher vs. Michael Pirotton — main event
- Light heavyweight: Craig Richards vs. Radivoje Kalajdzic
- Middleweight: Louis Greene vs. Lee Cutler
- Light heavyweight: Leon Hughes vs. Michael Stephenson
- Middleweight: Cesar Mateo Tapia vs. Leo Ruiz
- Women’s super lightweight: Kayla Allen vs. Lisa Mronz
The card’s range of divisions matters because weight classes organize boxing competition around broad limits designed to group similarly sized fighters. The listed main card moves from heavyweight at the top down through light heavyweight and middleweight, while also featuring a women’s super lightweight contest. It makes the evening more than a single-fight broadcast, particularly for viewers arriving at the 2:05 p.m. ET main-card start rather than waiting for the headliner.
Announced preliminary bouts
The preliminary lineup includes four additional contests:
- Cruiserweight: Rogelio Romero vs. Aurel Ignat
- Super lightweight: Alex MacMillan vs. Guillaume Azagier
- Featherweight: Alexis de la Cerda vs. Cain Lewis
- Lightweight: Fred Pullen vs. Leonardo Faretina
Prelims are the fights that take place before the main card. They are part of the event’s live running order, not an indication that the fighters involved are unimportant; the designation simply separates the earlier block from the group billed as the main card. With the full event slated to start at noon Eastern, viewers who want to see every announced matchup should be ready from the opening time.
Why the schedule deserves attention
Live combat-sports events do not operate like a scripted drama with a precisely fixed final scene. The overall start time, main-card start and projected ringwalk are three different pieces of information, each useful for a different kind of viewer. The noon Eastern listing is for the event as a whole. The 2:05 p.m. Eastern time marks the planned beginning of the main card. The approximately 4:45 p.m. Eastern ringwalk is a forecast for the Fisher-Pirotton entrances, subject to the pace of the evening.
For Fisher, the London main event is a chance to advance the stated push toward title contention. For Pirotton, it is an opportunity to overturn the favorite-underdog framing in a scheduled 10-round heavyweight fight. For viewers, the essentials are straightforward: Zuffa Boxing 11 is set for September 26 at Copper Box Arena, the event begins at 12 p.m. ET, the main card begins at 2:05 p.m. ET, and Paramount+ carries it without a separate PPV fee.
