British rivals Johnny Fisher & Dave Allen set for rematch in May

British heavyweight rivals Johnny Fisher and Dave Allen will meet in a rematch in London on 17 May.

Fisher and Allen first fought on the undercard of Oleksandr Usyk v Tyson Fury 2 in December.

Essex’s Fisher, who is unbeaten in 13 fights, claimed a controversial split-decision win, despite being dropped for the first time in his professional career.

Doncaster fighter Allen has won 23 of his 32 bouts, losing seven with two ending in draws.

The Britons will headline at the Copperbox Arena.

“I’m excited to be getting another great opportunity,” said Allen.

“To headline shows twice in London means a great deal to a kid from a small village in Doncaster. This time I will be bringing home the victory.”

Undefeated light-welterweight Dalton Smith is also set to return to action against Mathieu Germain on 19 April in his hometown of Sheffield at the Canon Medical Arena.

Smith has won all 17 professional contests, picking up 13 victories inside the distance, and stopped Walid Ouizza in January.

A win could see Smith become the number-one challenger to Alberto Puello’s WBC light-welterweight title.

“I’m not looking ahead, but there will be one name I’ll be calling out after dealing with Germain,” Smith said.

“Alberto Puello, where you at?”
