London, UK -Johnny Fisher, the undefeated 12-0 (11 KOs) rising British prospect, is set to face the experienced Dave Allen, 23-6-2 (18 KOs), on the undercard of the Usyk vs. Fury rematch on December 21st in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This fight marks another key step in Fisher's career, as he continues to gain momentum with a growing fanbase and an undefeated record.

Johnny Fisher will probably be far to much for veteran Dave Allen on Dec. 21st.

Fisher, known as "The Romford Bull," has built a reputation for his aggressive style and knockout power, but he has yet to face a veteran opponent with the experience and grit of Dave Allen. Allen, who has long been popular in Britain, has faced some of the division’s best, including Dillian Whyte, Luis Ortiz, and David Price. However, recent years have seen Allen struggle, particularly in his loss to Frazer Clarke in 2023, after which he returned to the ring for two low-level victories.

Fisher enters this bout with confidence, having knocked out 11 of his 12 opponents, including his most recent victory over Alen Babić. Despite his relative inexperience compared to Allen, Fisher’s youth, power, and rising profile make him the clear expected winner going into this contest. However, Fisher is not the most polished fighter and relies heavily on his aggression to overwhelm opponents.

Dave Allen will need all his experience to upset Johnny Fisher.

On the other hand, Allen, affectionately known as "The White Rhino," is approaching this fight from a more precarious position. While Allen still enjoys tremendous support from British fans, his recent form raises concerns. Allen’s durability has always been one of his strong points, but in recent fights, he has looked increasingly shop-worn, especially against top-level competition.

Fisher's main advantage in this fight is his momentum and punching power. If he can impose his pace early, Allen will be in for a tough night. Allen's only realistic path to victory may be to survive the early rounds and try to draw the younger fighter into deep waters, testing his stamina and composure. However, with Allen’s defensive vulnerabilities and lack of recent high-level activity, this strategy might not be enough to turn the tide.

This fight is seen by many as a passing-of-the-torch moment, with Fisher expected to be too much for Allen at this stage. While Allen’s toughness and experience could extend the bout, it’s the expectation here that Fisher will secure a stoppage inside five rounds.
