2022
Fisher-Black paid her own way to the 2022 road cycling world championships in Wollongong, Australia as Cycling New Zealand could not afford to meet the costs due to due "a lack of government funding and the loss of key sponsors". In the 164 km road race, she was the first placed under-23 rider and 12th overall. She became the first under-23 world women's champion. Fisher-Black said of the win “I wasn't aware straightaway at first when I crossed the line [that I’d won the under-23 race]." “The rainbow jersey, very few people have one and it’s the pinnacle of cycling so it’s super special to have...I think I showed I was the strongest under-23 rider on the day and nothing can take away from that.”

2023
In June 2023, Fisher-Black won the final stage of the Tour de Suisse Women. She said, of the victory, "Winning is the very best feeling...Finally I could throw my hands in the air myself. This is what you live for as a cyclist". She was named as the lead rider for Team SD Worx in the women's Giro d'Italia.
