Filip Hrgovic lived up to his moniker “El Animal” as he destroyed Dave Allen in the third round of their main event in Doncaster, England, live on DAZN. Hrgovic (20-1, 15 KOs) wanted to thrust his way back into the heavyweight scene, and he did just that with his TKO win over Allen (25-9-2, 20 KOs). Queensberry’s CEO was interviewed after the fight and said Moses Itauma is booked for an August return, which could be against Hrgovic or could be made after. Either way, when Hrgovic resigned with Queensberry, the Itauma fight was one of the ones he identified as having to be made, according to the Queensberry CEO, so it looks like we’ll get Hrgovic vs.

The weigh-in ceremony took place Friday afternoon in Doncaster, England, as heavyweights Dave Allen (25-8-2, 20 KOs) and Filip Hrgovic (19-1, 14 KOs) made Saturday’s main event on DAZN official. As you would expect, Allen stepped on the scales wearing his custom Speedo underwear, which got the crowd to pop. But there won’t be any laughter in the ring on Saturday, as both fighters are at a crossroads with so much at stake. Who will come out victorious on Saturday? DAVE ALLEN VS FILIP HRGOVIC WEIGH-IN RESULTS Dave Allen (248.8 lbs.) vs.

After a thrilling heavyweight title fight this past weekend, Queensberry returns Saturday night with another heavyweight bout, live from the Keepmoat Stadium in Doncaster, U.K. Heavyweight Dave Allen (25-8-2, 20 KOs) will face Filip Hrgovic (19-1, 14 KOs) in a scheduled ten-round bout that is a must-win for both men if they want to get a shot at one of the division’s bigger names as early as later this year. Allen fought three months ago and scored a first-round knockout over Karim Berredjem, while Hrgovic hasn’t fought since August, when he scored a unanimous decision over David Adeleye.

Dave Allen disappointed his devoted Doncaster fans as Filip Hrgovic forced a corner stoppage in three rounds Saturday. Bring on Moses Itauma.
