The Croatian was renowned as a physical force, with his boxing matches often turning into exhilarating brawls, leaving fans on the edge of their seats.

Within the first thirty seconds, Fisher unleashed a lightning-quick combination that sent Babic hurtling toward the canvas.
Bravely, the warrior got back to his feet, and attempted to fight on, but with his legs all over the place, the referee stopped the contest.

On one occasion, he entered the squared circle with a fighter who’d previously climbed the boxing mountain.
