Johnny Fisher vs Dave Allen 2 is almost here and we have all the details for you ahead of a fantastic heavyweight rumble on Saturday night (May 17, live on DAZN).
These two big men produced an absolute cracker last December when they met for the first time, on the undercard of that Oleksandr Usyk vs Tyson Fury 2 world heavyweight title rematch in Riyadh.
It was Fisher who emerged the victory by the narrowest of split decisions – a single point separating the two men – but ‘The Romford Bull’ came through some deep waters to claim the win.
The controversy after the fight was real, but now comes the chance to settle the score in front of a raucous 8,000 sellout crowd at London’s Copperbox Arena. It will of course become the ‘Copperbosh’ for one night only as ‘The Romford Bull Army’ turn out en masse.
Friday saw the final pre-fight meeting between the two men as they weighed in for the big showdown. Both men were heavier than first time around.
Fisher tipped the scales at 245.5lbs – just over four pounds heavier than last time. Allen meanwhile was almost 20lbs heavier than his opponent at 265lbs – and more than seven pounds heavier than for their first meeting.
