Comments Thread For: Matchroom targeting David Allen-Johnny Fisher III in 2026

Of course they are.

Fisher hasn’t got nowhere to go. If he really loves boxing he could switch to amateur. If he carries on in professional boxing man will get mash up. Dave Allen has shown him, quite brutally, why there are levels in boxing

Allen should fight Big Fraz next. Win or lose, the Fisher rubber match will be there.

I'm not a fan of constant rematches typically but in this instance what else is there for either guy really? Fisher is pretty much done after this and while Allen won what step up name could you put him in with and realistically not have him just get battered? I feel like even a past it Del Boy would beat the **** out of him.

Richard Torrez, Big Fraz, or Andy Ruiz would all be winnable fights for Allen now. He isn’t scared of stepping into a deeper level either. Let him test what Del Boy, Whyte, or even anyone named Fury has left.

Of those I'd go for frazer Clarke if I was Allen.

Personally the win yesterday was more down to what bosh doesn't have rather than what Allen does, Allen had the most rudimentary game plan and bosh is just so limited he couldnt avoid walking into the one trap Allen was setting.

Eddie’s Great White Hope is done as are most of Eddie’s fighters including his running like a thief in the night mistress Skye. This is what happens when you’re too busy licking the soles of Turki’s shoes and are doing no promoting like DHL has said. Matchroom fighters are getting smoked while Eddie gets the last drop of Turki’s money before Dana takes over for him and Warren.

From the scheme of things in boxing, I wouldn't care to see this rematch, Allen would probably smash Fisher again. But you gotta give it to the Brits, they know how to make big events out of B and C level fighters giving people entertaining bouts. I despise Hearn, but he has a good eye for what regular fans want. US boxing had a lot of this back in the day; it's how a lot of those regular fans end up becoming hardcore fans. Boxing doesn't always have to be elite to be enjoyed.

Adelaye, Whyte or Joyce would be good fights for Allen. For Fisher maybe someone like Nick Webb or Petr Milas?
