Dave Allen take a major step-up in class when he faces Filip Hrgovic in a homecoming clash in Doncaster on Saturday
Allen (25-8-2, 20 KOs) clashes with Hrgovic (19-1, 14 KOs) for the vacant IBF Intercontinental heavyweight title at the Eco-Power Stadium.
Fan-favourite, Allen bounced back from a comprehensive points defeat to Arslanbek Makhmudov by stopping Karim Berredjem in the first round in February.
The ‘White Rhino’ had breathed new life into his career prior to his loss to Makhmudov after halting Johnny Fisher in five rounds of their rematch.
Hrgovic is in good form seeing off two Brits since an eighth round loss to Daniel Dubois.
The 33-year-old Croatian secured unanimous decision wins over Joe Joyce and most recently against David Adeleye in August.
