British heavyweights Anthony Joshua Perfectly Sums Up Dave Allen’s Brutal Knockout Win Over Johnny Fisher

Anthony Joshua has praised Dave Allen in the wake of his knockout win over Johnny Fisher.

The two British heavyweights met in a necessary rematch after first fighting the ten round distance in December last year. Though Fisher controlled the opening rounds in their initial bout, Allen turned the tide in the fifth with a knockdown and came on strong thereafter, with the Romford man doing well to survive

It was a split decision in favour of Fisher, a highly controversial outcome given most felt Allen had scored one of the biggest wins of his career. In the rematch this weekend, he left no doubt. Though likely down on the cards again, it was the fifth once more in which Allen took advantage of a tiring Fisher to unleash his best shots.

He dropped the younger man once and finished him off with a devastating combination as the bell went, handing Fisher his first loss.
