Overview

  • Dave Allen defeated Johnny Fisher with a fifth-round knockout in their rematch, claiming the WBA Inter-Continental Heavyweight title.
  • The fight, dubbed 'The Inquest,' was a response to their controversial first bout in December 2024, where Fisher narrowly won on points.
  • Allen displayed sportsmanship by asking his corner not to celebrate the victory out of respect for Fisher, a close friend.
  • Fisher, visibly emotional after the loss, expressed gratitude for his supporters and vowed to regroup and come back stronger.
  • Allen plans to defend his new title locally before targeting a high-profile opponent in a major fight.
