Boxing tonight (Saturday May 17) provides another terrific Matchroom Boxing card as Johnny Fisher vs Dave Allen 2 headlines at the Copperbox Arena in London.
The showdown between these two big one will play out in front of a sellout crowd of 8,000 fans, mainly from Fisher’s ‘Romford Bull Army’.
Johnny kept his unbeaten record (13-0 with 11 inside distance) by besting Allen via a wafer-thin split decision in Riyadh last December, and tonight. And he is a narrow 4/9 favourite to repeat the win in the capital tonight.
Allen (23-7-2) though is a man reborn with Jamie Moore and Nigel Travis now in his corner, and he says this is the first time he has ever looked forward to a pro fight. Here are all the details you need.
Start time and how to watch live
The show will be streamed live globally by DAZN, and it is not a PPV affair so there is no extra cost for existing subscribers.
