Allen, 25-8-2 (20 KOs), has lost to Dillian Whyte, Luis Ortiz, Lenroy Thomas, Tony Yoka, David Price, Frazer Clarke, Johnny Fisher and, most recently, Arslanbek Makhmudov. Some were more competitive than others and a couple – the decision defeats to Thomas and Fisher – could have gone his way. But even when one considers the wins he’s achieved over Lucas Browne, Nick Webb and Fisher in a rematch, there’s nothing to suggest he stands more than the slimmest of chances against Hrgovic, universally recognized as one of the 10 best heavyweights in the world.
