Filip Hrgovic beats Dave Allen: Relive live blog coverage as 'El Animal' dominates
Usyk vs. Verhoeven: Exclusively on DAZN - May 23
Dave Allen's homecoming dreams were foiled by Filip Hrgovic on Saturday night as the Croatian battered his way to a three-round win.
'El Animal' denied the Doncaster native in brusque fashion at the Eco-Power Stadium, controlling matters from the first to the last bell.
Victory for Hrgovic tees up a possible run at Moses Itauma later this August, while defeat for Allen may still lay a path to the British title.
The pair's heavyweight contest kicked off another busy Saturday on DAZN, with Keyshawn Davis and Nahir Albright also in action.
