JOHNNY FISHER looks to defend his 12-fight unbeaten run TONIGHT as he takes on fellow Brit and formerly retired Dave Allen.
The Romford Bull enters the bout less experienced than Dave Allen but with huge potential, 11 knockouts, and a perfect record thus far.
Dave Allen holds a 23-6-2 record with 18 knockouts – taking part in more than twice as many fights as Fisher.
Nonetheless, Fisher, son of TikTok star Big John, has only completed two rounds in 2024 winning both of his previous two fights with first-round knockouts.
Allen also won his previous two fights, claiming victories over Amine Boucetta and Jake Darnell via points.
The fight is set up to be part of a blockbuster card headlined by Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk 2.

HEAVYWEIGHT prospect Moses Itauma is set to clash Demsey McKean TONIGHT as he continues his quest up the rankings.
The pair will meet for the WBO Intercontinental heavyweight title on the undercard of the Oleksander Usyk vs Tyson Fury 2 mega fight.
Super-size teenager Moses Itauma steps into the ring undefeated with a record of 10 wins and zero losses – with eight of the Brit’s 10 wins coming by way of knockout.
Australian Demsey McKean boasts a record of 22-1 (14 KOs) but hasn’t returned to the ring since his loss to Filip Hrgovic in 2023.
This will be the second challenge Itauma, 19, has faced since he claimed his belt in May 2024, after knocking out Ilja Mezencev in the second round.
While Itauma is in better form, McKean is by far the more experienced fighter setting up a strong battle on the Fury vs Usyk 2 Reignited fight card.

Fury vs Usyk 2: Ring walk time, TV channels and undercard – all you need to know for big rematch
BOXING chiefs have drafted in inexperienced official Ignacio Robles in their search for a third judge just hours before the blockbuster rematch between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk.
Fury, 36, and Usyk, 37, are set to lock horns tonight in a heavyweight showdown at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia with the WBO, WBA, and WBC championships on the line.
Fernando Barbosa was expected to be one of the three judges for the fight but was unable to travel due to illness.
That left both fighter camps split between officials Steve Weisfeld and Robles.
But following a coin toss, it was ruled that the judge from Panama would be the replacement.
Robles is not very experienced but has previously been a judge at ringside for British fighters.
He officiated when Dmitry Bivol defeated Mancunian boxer Lyndon Arthur in Saudi Arabia last year.
Fury and Usyk’s first fight in May went to the judges after 12 gruelling rounds.
And it was the undefeated Ukrainian who prevailed via split decision to extend his staggering winning streak to 22 fights.
This marked Fury’s first ever loss in 36 fights, 34 of which he won during his glittering 16-year career.
In the first contest Usyk earned scorecards of 115-112 from judge Manuel Oliver Palomo and 114-113 from Mike Fitzgerald.
The British boxing superstar, on the other hand, snatched the other card with a score of 114-113 from judge Craig Metcalfe.
Fury has never been knocked out and Usyk is still undefeated, therefore it is highly likely the result may have to go to the judges once more.

TESLA has recalled almost 700,000 cars after a potentially deadly fault was discovered.
An issue with the warning light on the tyre pressure monitoring system was found in the luxury electronic vehicles.
The Model 3, Model Y and Cybertruck have been affected, according to Tesla.
Owners of the affected cars will be sent a letter on February 15 next year and the issue will be resolved through a free software update.
Elon Musk’s company is recalling 694,304 of its 2024 Cybertruck models, 2015 to 2017 Model 3 and 2020 to 2025 Model Y, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration letter.
The letter reads: “The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) warning light may not remain illuminated between drive cycles, failing to warn the driver of low tire pressure.
“Driving with improperly inflated tires increases the risk of a crash.”
No crashes, deaths or injuries caused by the fault have been reported at the time of writing.
This isn’t the first time the vehicles have been plagued with problems.
Tesla recalled 1.85 million vehicles in July after an issue with the bonnets.
The affected motors had a software issue that could fail to detect an unlached hood whilst driving.
In May it called more than 125,000 vehicles of four different models due to a problem with the seat belts.
In February Tesla recalled more than 2million vehicles because the warning signals were showing up on a smaller font size.
The Cybertruck has been especially problematic and has been recalled seven times, with the most recent only last month.
The futuristic-motor is made with armoured glass and a faster 0-60mph time than a McLaren or Lamborghini.
The Sun has approached Tesla for comment.
TYSON FURY and Oleksandr Usyk resume battle on Saturday night to be crowned heavyweight king – but who is the third man in the ring?
Here we get to know Roberto Ramirez Jr, who will be officiating the blockbuster rematch in Riyadh.
Roberto Ramirez Jr is a professional boxing referee from Puerto Rico.
His father, Roberto Ramirez Sr, was also a respected referee who presided over title fights, including Aaron Pryor vs Gaetan Hart in November 1980 for the WBA light-welterweight belt.
Ramirez Jr followed in his father’s footsteps, beginning his professional refereeing career in 2003.
Over the course of his career to date, he has officiated an impressive 412 bouts, including multiple world title fights.
While Tyson Fury v Oleksandr Usyk 2 will be the first heavyweight world title fight he has reffed, Ramirez Jr has overseen some big clashes in the top division.
His most significant heavyweight fight so far was the 2014 demolition of Malik Scott by Deontay Wilder.
He has also looked after influencer boxing fights, including the October 2023 dust-up between Logan Paul and Dillon Danis.

The pinnacle of Ramirez Jr’s career so far is his selection to ref the highly-anticipated heavyweight rematch between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk.
The biggest fight of the year is scheduled for around 10pm on December 21, 2024, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Beyond his in-ring duties, Ramirez Jr has actively contributed to the development of boxing officiating.
In October 2023, he participated in a WBO Referee and Judges Seminar in Nicaragua, sharing his expertise with aspiring officials.
He is committed to improving the standard of officiating in boxing and passing on his knowledge to the next generation of referees.
Furthermore, Ramirez Jr has been involved in WBO conventions, further cementing his standing in the international boxing community.
While Ramirez Jr has generally enjoyed a controversy-free career, he has not been immune to criticism.
It was such a high-status fight, why would you put in a referee no one had heard of?
Chantelle Cameron
Following Chantelle Cameron’s defeat by Katie Taylor in their November 2023 rematch, both Cameron and her former trainer Jamie Moore expressed dissatisfaction with Ramirez Jr’s officiating.
Cameron told BBC Radio Northampton: “It wasn’t just me and Katie in that ring. If it was, I’d take the loss and say the better woman won on the night.
“I had everything against me. The ref on the night… It was such a high-status fight, why would you put in a referee no one had heard of?
“That’s not my job, it’s my job to fight. I don’t look into who’s reffing, who’s judging.
“I’m just frustrated — if I could turn back the hands of time, I would make sure that was all looked into. I’ve learnt my lesson.”
In a post-fight interview, Moore said: “We were denied a knockdown in the first round, which should have been a 100% legitimate knockdown.
“I begged the referee in the changing room before the fight, please, last time, she got away with holding a lot.
“My fighter’s best work is up close. Please don’t let her hold the way she did last time this time. And he allowed her to go on worse this time than it was last time.”
“So I’m gutted for her because she was so frustrated by the fourth and fifth rounds because she was holding that much.
“From watching what I watched, if Chantelle was allowed to do the work that she can do on the inside, it would have been a different result.”
