Johnny Fisher Vows More Ruthless Approach in Dave Allen Rematch

Posted : 16 May 2025

British heavyweight Johnny Fisher has admitted that he may have been “too friendly” with Dave Allen ahead of their first bout in December, which ended in a controversial points win for Fisher. The pair, who developed mutual respect after a previous sparring session, fought in Riyadh where Fisher was knocked down in the fifth round but managed to edge the decision, leading to calls for a rematch. That rematch is now set to take place at London’s Copper Box Arena.

 

Fisher reflected on the mindset he took into the original fight, acknowledging that he may have let personal rapport cloud his competitive focus. “I sort of forgot we’re not mates,” he said, adding that his approach may have lacked the aggression needed in the ring.

 

While mutual respect among fighters is common, too much can sometimes dull the competitive edge, as seen in past instances such as Anthony Joshua’s unexpected loss to Andy Ruiz Jr.

 

Now determined to approach the rematch with a different attitude, Fisher, 26, says he’s ready to prove himself more decisively. Despite feeling that a rematch wasn’t essential, he believes taking the second fight is the right move. His aim is to shed any lingering doubts from the first encounter and show a more focused, business-like performance this time around.
