Dave Allen will be looking for a career-best performance when he takes on Filip Hrgovic in a mouthwatering heavyweight clash this evening.
Allen's Journey to the Ring
The 'White Rhino' has worked his way back up the ranks over the last few years. Allen was beaten by Johnny Fisher in a contentious decision back in December 2024, but got his revenge just five months later after stopping the young star in the fifth round. Allen then suffered a convincing defeat to Arslanbek Makhmudov before knocking Karim Berredjem out in the first round in his last appearance. A win against Hrgovic could set him up with a big fight against a top name later this year. His upcoming rival, though, has other plans.
Hrgovic's Ambition
The hard-hitting Croatian has only been beaten once, and comes into the dust-up off the back of a convincing points win over David Adeleye. Here is everything you need to know ahead of tonight's fights.

Quotes Corner
Dave Allen: “I expect Filip at 70 per cent as he promised me 70 per cent... Am I good enough? Technically probably not but if he gets into a fight with me he is going to be in for a shock.” He added: "If I beat Filip Hrgovic I may just put my gloves down in the middle of the ring and walk away", going on to say; “Hrgovic is the end goal, if the winner fights Itauma I’m not bothered!”
Filip Hrgovic: "I'm ready for anything, I have had a good camp and I have not underestimated him. Every fight is the most important fight and I must win."
