    David Allen battles Lucas Browne and Derek Chisora clashes with Senad Gashi on a bumper O2 bill, which also features Josh Kelly, Joe Cordina and Conor Benn.

    Bit of a come down in levels for Chisora. Guess after that KO he is deserving of an easier fight to get back out there.
    Not much of a card - Dave Allen headlining - Dear me.

    Hopefully delivers more than what's proposed on paper

    See this is as I've mentioned elsewhere
    The DAZN deal has so many Boxers tied up we end up with Allen headlining the 02

    Chisora-Gashi is poor. Kelly fighting a no mark after pulling out against David A. Cordina's fight (I think against Townend?) will be a blowout. Benn will be fighting below area level again.
    Allen-Browne is somehow the best fight on a card.

    Did this really need to be at the O2... why have a half empty arena in London when it could have sold out somewhere like Sheffield or Birmingham etc

    Adam Smith going to have a word with Eddie again.

    Very poor card.

    Who wants to see Allen vs Browne as a co main event lol

    Has Eh Day signed Lily Allen to headline the O2?

    Surely not the 6 round Mismatchroom undercard pudding headlining the O2 - madness

    Some fun fights there but shouldn't be at the O2. Surely Doncaster for Allen or North East for Kelly.

    It's a pretty fun card in my opinion. Have a feeling Chisora vs Gashi might be a good fight, Gashi is quite aggressive.

    Would've been sensible to have this up North though, the Keepmoat stadium perhaps.

    It's the fight that's being written up the most so you would assume its headlining

    I quite want to see it out of curiosness but stone me, a main event at a 20000 area!!!?

    Clearly Hearn has an arrangement with the O2- I agree this would be better up North in Leeds or Doncaster.
