Dave Allen will face Filip Hrgovic on May 16 at Eco-Power Stadium in Doncaster, England, in a heavyweight bout co-promoted by Matchroom and Queensberry and broadcast on DAZN.
Allen (25-8, 20 KOs) enters the fight following a recent resurgence, including a first-round knockout win in February. The popular British heavyweight will fight in his hometown and described the occasion as a major opportunity. “A big fight, at home, in front of my own people… I’m not letting it pass me by,” he said.
Hrgovic (19-1, 14 KOs) is rebuilding after his 2024 loss to Daniel Dubois and has since recorded wins over Joe Joyce and David Adeleye. The Croatian remains in the mix for a future title shot.
The bout will headline a stadium event in front of more than 15,000 fans, with Allen looking to capitalize on home advantage and Hrgovic aiming to continue his return toward contention.
