Why would Allen be meeting with anyone other than Hearn? He was a win against David Price away from main eventing a PPV, and it’s not going to be the biggest salvage job in the world to get him back in that position again over the next 12-18 months.
I know Hearn was rather glad that he was stepping away from the support because despite Allen being as tough as he is, there's only so many times you can take a fight after getting off the sofa 2 weeks prior before it impacts on your health. So maybe Hearn has said he's not being apart of it?
Cue Kugan doing a 5 hour sit down with Dave Allen now on how to beat mental health problems, how he's found new purpose in life and how he's ready to get back in the boxing gym. Then will come the obligatory reaction videos to Dave Allen coming out of retirement from Ben Davison, Dave Coldwell, Spencer Oliver and Matthew Macklin. Dave Allen is a waste of everyone's fackin time.
https://talksport.com/sport/boxing/866477/dave-allen-announced-boxing-comeback/ It’s now confirmed, and he’s going with Dennis Hobson. He says in the article if he went with Hearn he’d be quickly into a big fight whereas he’d rather take his time and build himself up. I mean, we knew it would be short but this was a very short lived retirement.
I thought he was retiring after suffering issues with his vision and headaches? I thought his sparring video with Usyk was his way of signing off saying that he didn't remember any of it? I thought.......this is yet another joke, I just want him to go away, he's playing at boxing.
My only guess is he doesnt have the intelligence or drive to branch out into other areas. He could easily have moved into podcasting or something to that effect. He wants to move into managing and training yet he never managed or trained himself very well. My guess is he has seen his money dry up a fair amount over the last few months. He mentioned he wanted 7 or 8 fights before a British fight. So my guess is Hobson has offered him free money like £10-20k a fight against absolute knockovers like Phil Williams and Chris Healey. Which is like £100k for doing next to nothing
"Your Boy"... WOW, The rage that just built up in me when I read that.. I have no idea what has happened to errrr, errrr "my boy", hopefully he has retired, but Hearn said not tha long he was thinking about getting him a fight. I swear Hearn says things like that just to make people like me boil with absolute rage
Agreed. Unfortunately he seems the type to squander his wealth, despite all the noise he made about "investing in property". I think your hunch above is probably spot on.
His whole you think I'm dumb but I've got properties act was nonsense. Like you're gonna be set for life with 2-3 doncaster terrace houses giving you 350 a month. Dumbos like him shouldn't be taken seriously.
