Dillian Whyte Vows To Knockout Dave Allen

 

Dillian Whyte has vowed to silence Dave Allen with a crushing knockout defeat when they settle their war of words in the ring this month. The Brixton man reacted angrily after Allen called for a domestic clash and the British heavyweight rivals have traded insults in recent weeks.

They will settle the ongoing feud on a packed undercard for Josh Warrington's featherweight clash with Patrick Hyland in Leeds on July 30 and Whyte is planning an explosive victory.
Whyte said “He's been shouting my name for ages now so he's got to step up - he's going to get KO'd on July 30, he said that he's 100 per cent convinced he can beat me, so we'll see. I just want to get in there and have a fight with a heavyweight that's going to come and have a go, so I hope he backs it up.”

The British Boxing Board of Control initially decided that Sam Sexton was ahead of Allen in their list of available challengers for the vacant British heavyweight title, but promoter Eddie Hearn hopes they will review this ruling.

Hearn said “I'm so pleased these two have finally agreed to get it on, It's one of the best domestic heavyweight fights out there and it's added to a massive Leeds show. I will be re-applying to the board to make this fight for the British title with both agreeing to fight Sam Sexton in their first defence. I hope common sense prevails and we can get one of the most prestigious belts in boxing active.”
