Fisher vs Allen 2: Dave Allen explains why fight is a 'mismatch'
Watch Fisher vs Allen 2 live Saturday on DAZN
Dave Allen is confident that his rematch with Johnny Fisher is a "mismatch" which will work in his favour.
The two will meet in a huge all-British heavyweight scrap on Saturday night, live on DAZN, following a controversial first encounter in December.
Fisher was declared the winner despite being knocked down in the fifth round, and ever since the result was announced, calls for a rematch followed.
Allen is set to step into a bear pit at London's Copper Box Arena with Fisher's army of fans set to pack out the former Olympic venue, but speaking to The Ring, Allen is confident his superior boxing ability will see him triumph in the capital.
"I think I’m miles better than him, yeah, in terms of boxing ability, yes," Allen said.
"He’s just a very good athlete, a super hard man, but I think it’s night and day in terms of ability 100%.
"I have skill, I have ability, I can look after myself, I have experience that he doesn’t have, but hopefully one day he will have.
"That’s what he’s lacking and I’m head and shoulders above him. I have to get past the athleticism to make it the mismatch I’ve been talking about.
"It was a mismatch after four rounds last time, I beat him up for at least five of the last six rounds."
Ahead of the opening bell, Fisher weighed in 245.5lbs on Friday while Allen registered 265lbs on the scales.
