One UK heavyweight shocked the world recently with a sudden brutal knockout victory that showed boxing can change fighters lives over night.
That’s always been the way. Remember Andy Ruiz only a few years ago with his knockout of Anthony Joshua, upsets always happen in boxing, that’s why it is such a brilliant professional sport.
Dave Allen upset the apple cart last weekend with his stoppage over Johnny Fisher in their rematch.
Speaking to Ring Magazine after his sudden big win recently, Dave Allen said:
“Yeah, well, I spoke to them. We’d like to do that at the end of the year if we can. Deontay Wilder will have to Google me at some point and find out who I am, I’m sure. But when he has a look, he’ll probably think I’d be an easy fight, so maybe it can happen.”
Wilder returns to the ring and heavyweight division next month only against a low key opponent.
That said, if he wins, why can’t a Dave Allen fight happen after that?
Anything is possible.
