Big John is back with a bang for the Premier League season and is challenging a celebrity guest each Gameweek to predict all 10 correct scores – with £100 for charity up for grabs. 

Social media sensation John Fisher, dad of heavyweight prospect Johnny Fisher, is a lifelong football fan. Now he is putting his knowledge to the test every week with his correct score predictions against a variety of challengers.

In Gameweek Two, the ‘Boshfather’ came out victorious against former WBC Cruiserweight champion and Everton fanatic Tony Bellew in the head-to-head predictions battle.

Each player gets 3 points for guessing the correct score, 1 point for having the correct result and 0 if they totally miss the mark.

Every week £100 will go to the winner to give to their charity of choice, meaning £3800 is up for grabs for some amazing causes this season.

Who is Big John?

Social media sensation John Fisher has amassed quite the following of ‘Bosh Soldiers’ after going viral over his mega Chinese takeaway orders.

Although he also happens to be the father of up-and-coming British boxing star Johnny Fisher, John’s following has eclipsed his son’s growing popularity.

With just under 500,000 followers on Instagram, 221,000 on TikTok another 24,000 on X (formerly Twitter), Big John’s larger-than-life character has earned him a loyal fanbase.

His no-nonsense, stiff-up-a-lip approach to life has resonated with thousands of people who follow along closely to see what the “Leader of the bosh soldiers of the Romford Bull Army” documents next.

Why is Big John Famous?

Big John is chiefly known for his mammoth Chinese orders for himself and the rest of the family, which typically feature 12 different dishes.

John has seemingly brought into the British ‘lad’ culture, with many of his videos referencing enjoying a cold beer, or sitting back and watching the football – a sport he used to play at a high-level as a youngster, featuring for teams such as Leyton Orient.

Away from the ‘Big John’ persona, he is also a big advocate for men’s mental health.

What Does ‘Bosh’ Mean?

Without fail, John will sign-off his videos by exclaiming “Bosh!” whilst raising a closed fist.

What this means is slightly open to interpretation, but it’s safe to assume it marks the end of the ‘bigman’ himself rounding off another preaching to his followers.

‘Big John’ has even posted several variations on the theme, with “Le Bosh” whilst visiting France and “Yee Bosh” in the USA.

Who is Johnny Fisher?

Johnny Fisher – Big John’s eldest son – is an Essex native just like his father, but he will be looking to make waves on the global heavyweight boxing scene as his career blossoms.

The 25-year-old, dubbed the ‘Romford Bull’, is unbeaten across 12 professional fights, with all but one of those coming by way of knockout.

Johnny is a regular feature in his dad’s videos, which has likely helped raise his profile and his boxing fanbase.

He recently signed with Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing, and his latest victory in the ring came within 36 seconds against Alen Babic in July.

What is Big John’s Chinese Order?

  • Shredded chilli beef
  • Mini pancake rolls
  • Plain chow mein
  • Shredded chicken chow mein
  • Special fried rice
  • Egg fried rice
  • Sweet and sour chicken balls
  • Curry sauce and chips
