Matchroom Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn discussed his plans for Dave Allen, who recently lost to Arslanbek Makhmudov by decision.
“Dave Allen will be back. His contract includes a rematch clause, but I really want to sit down with him because I believe he’s one of the biggest names in British boxing. If he keeps improving, he’ll get back into big fights.
Tonight, I already got two phone calls about potential big fights for Dave Allen. People saw that crowd and asked, ‘Who is this guy?’ I’m a bit sad right now, but at the same time I’m excited for Dave Allen’s future,” said Hearn.
Allen (24-8-2, 19 KOs) lost his last fight by judges’ decision.
