Twists, turns, ups, and downs have defined it, and this Saturday he has the chance to edge closer to a fairytale ending. The heavyweight from Doncaster’s 24-7-2 (19 KOs) record isn’t impressive on the surface, but Allen has taken on some of the most dangerous men in the division, usually on late notice, for little money, and with next-to-no hope of winning. This weekend’s fight at Sheffield’s Utilita Arena, however, is different. Allen will take on another feared heavyweight – the 6ft 6ins Russian powerhouse Arslanbek Makhmudov. But unlike before, Allen is actually fancied by many to do the business.
