Utilitia Arena in Sheffield will be buzzing tonight as Dave Allen steps back into the ring for one of the toughest fights of his career, facing Russian boxer Arslanbek Makhmudov.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Having knocked Johnny Fisher out in his last fight, a win tonight against Makhmudov could mean Allen will face a huge clash against Deontay Wilder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Allen, also known as \u2018The White Rhino\u2019, was born in Doncaster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 33-year-old boxer announced his retirement from the sport in 2020, but made a return to the ring in August 2021 and has been fighting again since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The event takes place tonight, 11th October, at the Utilitia Arena in Sheffield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The main card is scheduled to begin at 7pm, with main-event ring walks due at approximately 9.45pm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
