Johnny Fisher will rematch Dave Allen this Saturday after Allen became the first man to drop Fisher in their previous fight.
Johnny Fisher is now controversially 13-0 with 11 knockouts after defeating Dave Allen by split decision. The consensus among fans was that Allen deserved the victory, a win which would’ve seen ‘The White Rhino’ claim his first ever title.
Allen, now 23-7-2, has shared the ring with many experienced pros, including one man who Fisher’s dad says he is ‘well behind’.
Johnny Fisher is ‘well behind’ Frazer Clarke, says Big John
Allen, who spars Pat Brown, has gone toe-to-toe with Lucas Browne, David Price, Tony Yoka, and Frazer Clarke in his career, and was giving a good account of himself against Clarke when the pair fought in 2023.
Allen has said he regrets not taking the fight as seriously as he should’ve, as he still believes he could’ve beaten Clarke that night.
Clarke spoke on Fisher, who first went the distance after a horror cut, recently, stating: “I’ve got a lot of respect for Johnny and his family, they’re really nice people, but when it comes to me and him fighting, we’re worlds apart and I’m miles ahead of him.”
One commenter questioned what Fisher’s dad, Big John, would have to say about Clarke’s claims, to which John responded: “Frazer is a good bloke. Johnny well behind.”
Fisher has made no secret of the fact that he never began boxing for a world title, and has even said he’d be happy if British level was as high as his career went.
Frazer Clarke lost out on the British title in the most devastating fashion possible
Though Fisher’s ceiling may be at the British level, Clarke, too, has not achieved the accolade, as he was beaten in his British title fight against Fabio Wardley.
The pair first fought in March 2024, and engaged in an absolute war that ended in a split decision draw.
The rematch could not have been more different, as there was a clear winner this time, and it took just one round to find out who it was.
Wardley produced a career-defining knockout of Clarke in the opening round, denting his face with the lethal blow.
Many expected Clarke not to fight again, but he returned last month with a first-round KO of his own over Ebenezer Tetteh.
