Filip Hrgović of Croatia defeated British boxer David Allen in Doncaster in just three rounds. The Croatian fighter dominated Allen, pushing him to the ropes and unleashing a barrage of punches. Before Hrgović could knock out Allen, who was still standing, Allen's corner threw in the towel, ending the British fighter's suffering.

Post-fight, Allen described Hrgović as a skilled boxer but not a knock-out artist, noting that he hit him several times but could have handled Hrgović's style. Allen admitted that Hrgović was fast, precise, and targeted uncomfortable spots, but lacked the power to knock out his opponent in one blow.

Following the match, Hrgović and Allen agreed to a rematch, which is now confirmed to take place on August 8 at the O2 Arena in London under the Queensberry Promotions banner. George Warren, son of Frank Warren, stated that the contract with Hrgović already includes a fight with "the new Mike Tyson," referring to Moses Itaumo.

Allen, despite being defeated by Hrgović, does not see him as the world's best heavyweight. Allen expressed his admiration for Oleksandr Usyk but has Agit Kabayel as his favorite.
