Dave Allen weighs lightest in 7 years to produce ‘biggest upset in British boxing history’ against Hrgovic

Dave Allen weighed in at 248.8lbs ahead of his fight against Filip Hrgovic at the Keepmoat Stadium in Doncaster on 15th May 2026, his lightest weight since a 2019 loss to David Price — a significant drop from the 271lbs he recorded in his February bout. Allen, a fan favourite, faces the undefeated Croatian Hrgovic, whose only career loss came against world champion Daniel Dubois, in front of 10,000 home fans. The fight has been billed as potentially the 'biggest upset in British boxing history' should Allen prevail.
