London, UK - The highly anticipated rematch between Johnny Fisher and Dave Allen has officially been confirmed. The two British heavyweights will clash once again on May 17 at London’s Copper Box Arena, following their controversial first encounter in December.

Their first fight, which took place on the undercard of Oleksandr Usyk vs. Tyson Fury II in Saudi Arabia, ended in a split-decision victory for Fisher. However, many ringside observers and fans disagreed with the verdict, believing Allen had done enough to win. Now, both fighters have the opportunity to settle the score in a fight that has quickly become one of the most anticipated domestic matches of the year.

Johnny Fisher, 13-0 (11 KOs), remains undefeated but knows he has something to prove after the controversial nature of his win over Allen. The Romford fighter was dropped in the fifth round but ultimately edged out a split-decision victory on the judges’ scorecards.

Determined to make a more definitive statement this time, Fisher is looking to avoid the scorecards altogether.

“I’m excited to put on another great fight for the fans and win in even better fashion this time around,”said Fisher, reflecting on the upcoming rematch.

The last time Fisher fought at the Copper Box Arena, he made quick work of Alen Babic, stopping the Croatian in just one round. A repeat of that performance would leave no doubt about his superiority over Allen.

Dave Allen, 32-7-2 (18 KOs), has never been one to shy away from a tough fight, and his performance against Fisher in December was widely regarded as one of his best in recent years. Despite dropping Fisher and pushing him to the limit, he was denied the victory.

Now, Allen is coming into the rematch with extra motivation to correct what he feels was an unfair result.

“I’m excited to be getting another great opportunity,” Allen said. “To headline shows twice in London means a great deal to a kid from a small village in Doncaster. This time I will be bringing home the victory.”

Expecting another close and hard-fought battle, Allen has vowed to take the decision out of the judges’ hands by making sure Fisher doesn’t hear the final bell.

This rematch is about more than just settling the controversy—it’s a huge opportunity for both men to cement their status in the British heavyweight scene.

• For Fisher, it’s a chance to show he is more than just a heavy-handed prospect and that he can decisively beat experienced opponents at a higher level.
• For Allen, it’s a chance to prove that his best days aren’t behind him and that he belongs among the country’s top heavyweights.

With the Copper Box Arena set to host another electric night of boxing, the Fisher vs. Allen rematch has all the ingredients for an action-packed battle that fans won’t want to miss.
