Brave Dave Allen Beaten on Emotional Homecoming
Hrgovic overwhelmed Allen with clinical combinations before the home favorite’s corner stopped the fight in round 3.
- On Saturday, Croatian heavyweight Filip Hrgovic stopped Dave Allen at Doncaster's Eco-Power Stadium, claiming the IBF Intercontinental and WBA International Heavyweight titles when referee Steve Gray waved off the bout in round three.
- Hrgovic, boasting a 20-1 record with 15 KOs, showcased world-class pedigree from the opening bell, landing precise combinations while the partisan crowd attempted to rally their 'White Rhino' hero Allen throughout the early rounds.
- Trainer Jamie Moore intervened in round three as Hrgovic's punishment intensified, deciding 'enough was enough' and throwing the towel to end the fight when Allen failed to mount a sustained response.
- Before the main event, preliminary card bouts saw victories for Hull's Ted Jackson, York's Brad Casey, and Doncaster duo Kian Hamilton and Joe Hayden, providing local interest ahead of Hrgovic's title capture.
- Hrgovic is set for a late summer showdown with rising heavyweight Moses Itauma, declaring he remains focused on reaching the 'promised land' after his dominant performance in Doncaster.
