British Social Media Sensation Big John Fisher Detained in Australia Due to Visa Issues
Big John Fisher, a notable figure on British social media, has encountered legal troubles in Australia related to visa issues. The Australian Border Force has refrained from commenting on his specific situation, citing privacy concerns.
Birthday in Detention
Fisher expressed his disappointment on social media, stating he is spending his 52nd birthday in a detention hotel awaiting deportation. Despite the circumstances, he maintained his positive spirit, saying, “I’m still smiling and I still love Australia,” and concluded his message with his trademark exclamation, “bosh.”
Community Support
Numerous fans offered assistance during his detention, including food deliveries. Fisher, however, noted he was unable to accept these gifts, directing supporters to donate to a food bank instead.
Family Involvement
His son, Johnny Fisher, a heavyweight boxer, took to Instagram to confirm that his father will be sent back home. He humorously suggested that authorities might be concerned about his father’s bowling skills ahead of the Ashes cricket series.
Cancelled Events in Australia
This incident disrupted Fisher’s planned activities in Australia, which included:
- Hosting a “Bucking Bull” challenge at a greyhound race in Sydney.
- Performing a DJ set at a horse racing event in Perth.
Social Media Presence
With a substantial online following of nearly 700,000 on Instagram and around 500,000 on TikTok, Fisher is known for his food reviews. He often highlights just how much he enjoys different meals, frequently ending with his signature catchphrase.
Recent Media Appearance
Fisher has also made headlines for discussing issues beyond food. He recently appeared on BBC’s Newsnight to support a Chinese takeaway in York that had been vandalized, further showcasing his involvement in community matters.
