Dave Allen vs. Ross McGuigan - 20 June 2026

[MasterG]

Coincidentally I'm from Carlton near Wakefield (though I haven't been near the place for over 20 years) apparently Dave Allen lived in a B&B there when he trained with Dean Marsden (yet another person Allen has discarded/fallen out with)

New Miller Dam is nice down that way. I want to move to Carlton or possibly Roysten in a few years time

Dave worked as a supply teacher while he trained in Rothwell / Leeds actually trained by Michael Marsden brother of Dean who was an ex Pro aswell , from what I remember Mick got Dave in great shape for the Lenroy Thomas fights .

He’ll have been a cover supervisor without QTS he’s not got a GCSE to his name

Something I've been considering is getting a level 3 teacher assistant qualification, as now it seems I may have got my big toe through the door of Temple Moor High School.

The Level 3 TA course is only 300 quid and it's a way forward

Just enrolled with CTC courses £270.

This should go hand in hand with my youth work qualifications and hopefully open a few other doors

Well done and the very best of luck with it

I can almost semi understand why Dave has been out of shape pretty much always since that fight. He got in really good shape for that fight which was for the Commonwealth title and the random fight where there's a cut that makes it a TD happens to be that fight. I felt like there was a bit of a 'what's the point' after that.

Or maybe tie him down and wear him out.
