Agreed. The last time Dave was popular and Eddie slowly built him up. Dave is never going to be a top ten Heavyweight, not with the boys who are about at that weight division. So if Dave wants to keep boxing and winning, he would need to keep it at low level , which Eddie might not throw money at him for, especially if he's not building him for a bigger event.Twinkle Toes wrote: ↑18 Apr 2021, 01:58It doesn't sound like Hearn is going to give him the platform this time, so Dave might change his mind again when he has to prop a small hall show up for a couple of grand.

Eddie probably regrets vowing not to put him on again.

Re: David Allen Plans To Fight Again
I can’t see it. Dave is English level at best I think now.
Even his biggest wins I had him losing until he caught Nick Webb/Lucas Browne with good shots. He went life or death with Bracamonte and lost against every other credible opponent.
Now he’s spoken health problems due to boxing and just wanting to fight guys he ‘should’ beat comfortably in 6 rounders. Is it a given he’ll be licensed to fight?
I always got the impression Eddie liked Dave. I know he loves a pound too but I just can’t see Eddie slinging Dave in with a Babic or someone similar and he won’t be interested in a 6 rounder against a journeyman.

Eddie will probably use Dave as an undercard attraction if he promotes around Doncaster with Terri Harper topping the bill .

David Adeleye Feels Ready To Face Dave Allen, Nathan Gorman
HEAVYWEIGHT banger David Adeleye insists he is ready to let Dave Allen and Nathan Gorman feel his power.
Adeleye has shown he can pack a punch and knocked out his first five professional opponents in style.
The Notting Hill man is back in action on Saturday (April 24), live on BT Sport.
Adeleye, 24, has oozed potential in his string of wins and is happy to be pushed by promoter allegedly who is matching the former ABA Junior and Senior Novices champion well.
Allen is returning to boxing following a short retirement and Gorman is closing in on a second British title shot after suffering his only career defeat against Daniel Dubois.
Adeleye said: “Dave Allen and Nathan Gorman are fights I think I can take. I am confident in myself, I believe in myself and I can beat them.
“Dave would be a good contest for me. He has been in there with some great fighters.
"It would be a good fight and it is one I would take.
“Dave is talking only boxing four or six rounders so I could get to stage that I have gone passed him.
“Credit to Nathan. He is a good fighter and you can see that, but he is someone I believe I can take on.
“I don’t just ask for these fight to say it. If they got made there wouldn’t be a ‘no’ from me.
“My development has been perfect and I know there is no rush, but if it was down to me I would want these fights.”
Four of Adeleye’s wins have come inside two rounds, and usually durable Phil Williams was stopped in three.
“As fights get longer the opposition will be better. I will get more time to break opponents down and box instead of just trying to blast them out,” added Adeleye who studied at the University of Wolverhampton, where he graduated in 2018 with a degree in Business Management.
“There have been opponents who were meant to give me rounds, like Williams. He was tough and I had to do a few things different to get him out of there, but it came together.
“I am disciplined and an all year round fighter. I don’t train in seasons. I always stay ready. After each fight I have a week off and then I’m back in the gym, improving.
“Nothing comes easy. As long as I stay grounded and guided I know I can go all the way.”
He might be in a hurry to make his name in the boxing business, but trainer Frank Greaves ensures Adeleye remains focused.
Adeleye says: “It’s easy to get knocked off your high horse and why I always mention staying disciplined and grounded.
“It must be hard for fighters when they are suddenly earning big money and having big fights. At the same time, it’s easy because if you want something you stay disciplined.
“I have good people around me who will keep me in check like my family and coach, Frank Greaves.
“I think Frank likes me saying these names. He doesn’t want be with a fighter who doesn’t believe in himself.
“He does the training and might say something on opponents because he knows where I am at, but doesn’t bother when I call someone out.”

Re: David Allen Plans To Fight Again
He strikes me as the kind of guy that will have gambled/pissed away any money he's made in his career, so now he needs to come back for more.
Re: David Allen Plans To Fight Again
I thought exactly the same after reading that article.
Mind you in one part of the article he talks about getting smashed in training by Usyk and only being on one leg, and in another says how well he was doing and just caught once.
Walking contradiction sadly. I don't really want to see him get hit anymore but he could be fun at a certain level.
Re: David Allen Plans To Fight Again
His career best win vs Lucas Browne is looking worse and worse with each Browne fight. I really hope Lucas calls it a day now, his last fight vs a Rugby player was terrible.

Officially it will be Browne, it was I think in the end officially the main event of a big bill.

Re: David Allen Plans To Fight Again
after he beat browne, ppl were seriously talking him up as some type of top 15ish contender
ppl were even fearing for david price's health going into their fight and said the bout shouldnt be allowed to happen for pricey's sake
it was short lived, but quite the period there for dave-o

What's now more worrying is Browne wasnt looking that bad till the body shot....he looked awful vs Whyte and even worse against this rugby player.margaret thatcher wrote: ↑23 Apr 2021, 14:00 after he beat browne, ppl were seriously talking him up as some type of top 15ish contender
