A quick search found this review article,
Exercise Training and Fasting: Current Insights.
The final sentence of the abstract:
Our review of the literature suggests that there is little evidence to support the notion of endurance training and fasting-mediated increases in fat oxidation, and we recommend that endurance athletes should avoid high intensity training while fasting.
There are a lot of benefits to fasting that have nothing to do with burning fat. Look into Autophagy. A Nobel Peace Prize was awarded as late as 2017 for Autophagy research. It turns out denying the body any calories for short periods may be the healthiest thing you can do.
