Allison Fisher won her first World Snooker Championships at the age of 17. After an unparalleled snooker career in which she won countless titles and successfully defended her World title all but twice in her 10 years of pro snooker, Allison moved to the United States in 1995 to take a shot at the Women's Professional Billiards Pro 9-Ball tour.
Allison won just the second tour event she played in and has never looked back. Her tournament record compiled in the 7 years since then is unmatched in the history of professional cue-sports among men or women. She has won more 9-Ball tournaments than the total wins of all her pro competitors combined, and over 5 times as many titles as the player with the 2nd most wins in that span.

- Allison Fisher is a snooker and pool player. She took the women's snooker world by storm, winning her first world title at the age of 17. To date, she has won over 80 national titles and 11 world titles in total. She even entered the Male Snooker ranking, but never progressed into the sport's upper levels. Feeling that she didn't receive the respect which the male players had, she moved to the U.S to play on the pool circuit where women receive greater respect.
- Fisher didn't take long to make her mark in the world of pool, winning only the second tournament that she played in. She has an unequaled record, winning 49 WPBA titles, which includes 4 world 9-Ball championships. Since her move, she has also been the highest-earning player on a number of occasions, which takes into account male and female players. Matchroom sports invited her to play in the Matchroom snooker league, and she was also invited to play in the Mosconi Cup in which she played 3 games (winning 1).
- Fisher was dubbed 'The Duchess of Doom' and gained similar formidability to that of the 13-time darts world champion Phil 'The Power' Taylor and snooker players Joe Davis, Steve Davis and Stephen Hendry did in the 30's, 80's, and 90's respectively. Her greatest season was the 2000/2001 season when she won 8 consecutive majors. In the 2005 season, Fisher was the highest earner when she won £111,000.
