Filip Hrgović secured his 20th professional win, the third in a row, by defeating British heavyweight Dave Allen in Doncaster, England. Hrgović overpowered Allen with a technical knockout in the third round, as Allen's team threw in the towel to prevent further injury. "El Animal" continues his impressive comeback after his only career loss and aims to reclaim the top spot in the heavyweight division.

After his dominant victory in front of a hostile crowd, Hrgović addressed the audience:

​- I apologize, folks, I know I'm not the most popular here, but this is boxing. Thank you to Allen, his team, and the promoter. I'm happy for this win and continue on the path to become the world champion. He was very open, taking all my punches. I wanted to finish him quickly to show that I am better, he said.

When asked if he would face Moses Itauma next:

- I always say I want to fight everyone, anyone in the division. Moses hasn't reached my level yet, but I'll fight him if he's ready. I'll take a few days off and then we'll see.
