New Vice President Conlan making his mark by signing the top up and coming talent

MTK want Dave Allen to get brain damage

Can't really stick Dave Allen nowadays. Comes across a bit of a bell end.

cant say I have noticed any change

He's definitely become tiresome.

Ya, I've been bored of him for a while now

Liimited guy makes the most of what he has, sure I get that, fair play, but can't really say I find anything interesting about his career. He's one of these overly recycled guys

Why would anybody sign him up do they think he’s the great white Hope or something?

Guessing your trolling as even my granny knows Tyson Fury is the best heavyweight on the planet. Boxing is looking for a new Great Black Hope to beat him.

Not trolling at all mate the guy is a clown so why does anybody want to watch him

Strange move by MTK. Must be looking for a social media name to get punters to tune into their shows.

Given Allen's level of "stardom" he's really just a gimmick. He can fight a bit, but hasn't got much else going for him other than his mouth and willingness to get on socia media regularly.

Just seems a shame that there are so many Brtish fighters who go under the radar who can really fight.

He sells tickets, lots of them. I imagine that’s why they signed him.

Yehh it was oryt back in 2017 when he first came on the scene big. He’s had his own issues since. Good for him he has a good following, but boxing wise, he’s not much.

MTK have signed him so they can use him on their own shows and he can sell tickets.

Very strange comment. Seeing as though whites have dominated the heavyweight division for the last 20 years.

‘A bit’ is putting it lightly.

Quietly ushered out the backdoor by Matchroom after getting off the hook for clear match-fixing. Bum.

Hang em up Dave.

he is a good way to raise the profile and sell tickets on small hall shows which is what MTK put on so a good move for them. I think Allen will do ok if he stays away from top fighters plenty of knock overs and British level opponents out there.

Yh probably a good move for Allen he's definitely not going to be on a ticket deal and probably wants to build his wins up again because Hearn will just put him in a big fight.

Exactly, it's a win - win so long as they don't put Allen against someone who is above domestic (maybe European at a stretch) level. No more lads like Ortiz.

Probably.
He has had a really good run with Matchroom, got fights and paydays some guys would have sucked Eddie's balls to raisins for.
And half the time he put more effort on the social media than the gym. Done well for himself, all things considered.

He can still fight on Matchroom shows.

MTK will manage him from now.

You'd think he would have looked to siging with a management company at least a year ago.
