Dave Allen Says He's DONE With Boxing If He Loses at Croke, Usyk Vacating, Eddie Hearn Relationship
"The towel came in and when I watched the fight back, I was highly pissed off. Very. I was very, very annoyed because that was my night. That was my night. I was willing to leave it all in there and it was and I didn't get the chance to do that."
Dave Allen publicly criticized his coach's decision to throw in the towel during his third-round stoppage loss to Philip Hrgovic in Doncaster. Allen revealed he didn't watch the fight back for 10 days and felt robbed of his opportunity to prove himself on his homecoming night. Despite the criticism, Allen confirmed he's remaining with his coaches and had an honest conversation about the stoppage, defending himself against accusations he was a 'con man' who didn't give fans their money's worth.
