Dave Allen has avenged his defeat by rival Johnny Fisher with an emphatic knockout victory in their rematch. The Doncaster De La Hoya stopped his opponent in round five at the Copper Box.

Allen landed an overhand right that put Fisher in trouble, and as he attempted to cover up, he eventually hit the canvas. Fisher barely beat the count, and Allen landed a vicious hook on the bell to leave Fisher prone in the middle of the ring.

The referee waved the bout off as the towel came flying in from Fisher’s corner. Paramedics attended to Fisher in the ring and gave him oxygen as Allen held off from celebrating, but he did regain his feet and congratulate his opponent.

After having his hand raised in victory and being awarded the WBA Intercontinental heavyweight belt, Allen couldn’t hide his delight. “I knew the first fight did me a world of good,” he said.

“I put a bit of weight on, I knew it would pay dividends, took the risk. I’m the fattest, hardest man you’ll ever see.

“At this level, I’m a handful. He over exaggerated the movement, which worked against him. I’ve got experience, I know the game inside out. I’m him, but with 30 more fights basically.”

When asked about the potential of a trilogy, Allen expressed his belief that it wouldn’t be good for Fisher. “He’s my friend,” he added. “He’s a very good friend of mine. I wouldn’t allow it [a trilogy fight] to happen, because it’s not in his best interests.”
