Dave Allen STOPS Johnny Fisher in rematch at the Copper Box Arena after controversial first fight

  • Dave Allen stopped Johnny Fisher in round five of their rematch on Saturday
  • Allen dropped Fisher before finishing the contest on the sounds of the bell 
  • The victory on Saturday night saw Allen claim the WBA Intercontinental belt 

Dave Allen finally got what many believed he deserved all along.

Five months after a controversial split-decision loss to Johnny Fisher in Saudi Arabia, the ‘White Rhino’ returned with vengeance, grit, and a point to prove — and he did just that, stopping the previously unbeaten Romford Bull in a dramatic rematch at the Copper Box Arena.

Allen, 33, came in heavier and more determined than ever ahead of the rematch — hilariously claiming he needed to win to afford his new en-suite during Thursday’s press conference.

Both men felt each other out in the opening round, with Allen throwing first and looking to land an overhand right. Meanwhile Fisher operated well behind the jab before landing flush on Allen’s right cheek with 1.50 left on the clock. Thankfully for the White Rhino, he absorbed it well.

Fisher started to double up his shots in the second round, looking to target the body while Allen responded with serval jabs to push Fisher back.

The referee was forced to step in with 20 seconds left on the clock to warn Fisher about using his elbow, but it didn’t seem to phase the Romford Bull – who finished the round with a solid combination.

It was in the third round that the fans got excited as Fisher caught Allen on the ropes, landing several combinations. But, it wasn’t enough to stop the White Rhino – who responded with his own well timed combinations later in the round.

The pair finished the round by exchanging in close quarters, with Fisher landing a right uppercut to fling Allen’s head back.

Allen continued to walk Fisher down in the fourth round and landed an uppercut of his own with 40 seconds left on the clock.

Fisher responded well with a combination to the body before catching Allen with a clean right hand shortly before the bell.

It was in the fifth round that Allen landed a powerful right hand followed by left body shot that startled Fisher. He continued to pressure the Romford Bull before dropping him with 10 seconds left on the clock.

Fisher, rose to his feet but his legs were clearly gone, allowing Allen to pile the pressure on and finish the contest on the bell – declaring him the winner by TKO.

The arena erupted, and for Allen — denied on the cards last time despite a knockdown and many believing he had done enough — it was vindication.

For Allen, the win not only avenges December’s heartbreak, but also delivers him his first title — the WBA Intercontinental belt — at a point in his career where many thought his best days were behind him.

At 33, the White Rhino roared again — and this time, no one could deny him.
