    The board considered Sam S exton more eligible to face Dillian Whyte

    Allen is really cheased off and Tweeting his displeasure

    I hope he goes for the English title to bide the time and he can then meet Whyte pre-Xmas

    Board have made a eliminator for British and English title fight for Allen v ***ton. It's at purse bids.

    Does that mean Whyte cannot fight for the vacant title until after this elimator?

    This reduces the pool of fighters for the 1st defence and means the belt is less active

    Why did joshua give it up in the first place? Can you not hold Lonsdale belt and world title? He could of fought chisora then haye/fury after martin and won it outright.

    I'm not sure where the hype for Dave Allen has come from. He's done nothing to suggest he'll be able to hang with the top guys at domestic level. That's not to say he doesn't deserve a shot, far worse looking fighters than him have been given one.

    Its a good thing he gave it up, Fury kept hold of it for a long time when he had no intention of defending it and it limited other peoples opportunities

    Not sure why Allen is crying about things as he hasn't done a thing to deserve a place in front of ***ton and my money is on ***ton beating Allen 100% if they ever got it on. Allen seems to think he deserves it more cos he's got a bigger mouth than ***ton but he needs to think about his jaw not his mouth if he wants to progress but I see him at English title level and that's it. Don't right ***ton off against Whyte either ***ton had some bad luck on his journey but now slowly back to his best so will be very interesting.

    Dave Allen has fought nobody, beat nobody and does not deserve the chance.

    Not entirely sure why this is an Eliminator unless the winner gets Cornish if he wins his Commonwealth Title fight. Underwhelming fight.

    I think it's more so that Allen as only beaten journeymen and the fact ***ton has been very inactive by matching them in a eliminator the winner has decent win on paper b4 a possible title shot.
