Hi Greg, I do not know the boxing world much. I know Kerry via bodybuilding, when he owned CNP and was a big player in UK bodybuilding with the EFBB/UKBFF, hence mentioning he will be well guided if he listens to him for nutrition. Most boxing people know Kerry as Hatton's old nutrionist and more recently as a cutsman, but Kerry was one of the leading lights in transforming bodybuilding nutrition and the domestic scene in the 90s and noughties when he was working with Dorian Yates. I will not go into it here but he was a HEAVY character and has helped people close to me - he loves boxing, has about triple digit millions and does not need to be involved in boxing and does not charge a bean for anyone he works with.

I am local to Dave though, and know people he knows well. He gets up too 22 stone which is way too heavy for a 6ft 3 endomorph. I hope he has been training and he really just does need to weight cut, if it just that and he does exactly what Kerry says he will be a good weight - but I am not sure at all that Dave will ever consistently follow advice. He seems weak minded in this regard.

I’m not an endomorph I’m a mesomorph I break all records for muscle mass wherever I get tested haha just 15 years of donuts and fizzy pop got me looking like shit but I was a very good athlete in my younger days and that and being tough and experienced gets me by, I will look like shit on the scales for the rematch but it won’t stop me winning it

I have been posting on here in one guise or another for well over 20 years and have never got a heavyweight prediction wrong.

I am picking you to win by stoppage. Don't let me down!

However ultimately he just wasn't good enough.

Realistically Fisher needs to be matched against smaller, weaker guys

gilgamesh wrote: ↑22 May 2025, 13:54 I do think Fisher should try for a 3rd match with Allen at some point, but not for another few years. He needs to train, and work on his flaws, and see if he can get any better. At the very least maybe he could get good enough to beat Dave Allen in 3 years time, and give himself a bit of redemption that way.

I don't see anything beyond British level for the guy though, and that's ok. This will certainly hurt his popularity, but if he could build himself up enough to beat Dave legitimately in a few years time there may still be a few big opportunities for him in the sport.

We'll see.
