The official record holder
Dave Allen announced his next fight days just four days after losing to Filip Hrgovic.
Something for everyone stopped in the third round against Hrgovic on his homecoming at the Eco-Power Stadium in Doncaster on Saturday.
The popular Doncaster resident insisted his career was not over and has now revealed he will fight in Rotherham on June 20 in a four- or six-round fight.
“On June 20 at Rotherham Magna I will return to the ring,” the 34-year-old wrote on Twitter. Instagram.
I physically can’t sit and wait to get back in the ring after last week.
“Full transparency, it will be a journeyman opponent and there will be 4 or 6 rounds.
“Ticket prices are £50 and £85 in the ring, but those who came to the fight on the field last week or to my fights at Skate Central [a] a few years ago tickets will be half price and with a free drink as I will be putting money behind the bar for them so if you want to come message @teamwhiterhino.”

“The White Rhino” suffered his ninth professional loss to Hrgovic, who is currently preparing for an August 8 clash with rising heavyweight prospect Moses Itauma.
Allen said that after the fight he still hopes to fight for the British heavyweight title, and the current champion is Richard Riakporhe.
“I just love boxing and want to enjoy it,” he added.
“And while I imagine and understand that many people won’t bother traveling for me in smaller fights, I need to rebuild myself this way to get my head out of my ass and get to my ultimate goal.
“The Last Great Fight”.
Hrgovic, who defeated his third consecutive Briton after previous victories over David Adeleye and Joe Joyce respectively, is the second WBO title challenger behind Itauma.
The 33-year-old Croatian admitted that he would be open to a fight with the undefeated 21-year-old.
“[I’ll fight] Moses Itauma, whoever, I’ll talk to my team,” Hrgovic said.
“I don’t think there will be any cuts. I will sign the contract now.
“I’ll talk to my team first. I’ll fight anyone.”

Frank Warren described the Daniel Dubois and Fabio Wardley fight as the greatest heavyweight fight he had ever seen.
Wardley activated his rematch clause against Dubois, and Warren discussed how large their second fight could be.
The pair faced off just over a week ago in Manchester ahead of a record turnout for the boxing event taking place at the Co-op Live venue.
“DDD” defeated Wardley despite hitting the canvas in the first and third rounds. He put together a series of attacks, forcing the referee to stop the fight in the 11th round.
Promoter Warren announced immediately after the final bell that the former world champion had the option of a rematch with “Dynamite.”
Warren spoke to a man from Ipswich who triggered the option TalkSports about how monumental a rematch could be.
“I really believe it will end in the stadium.
“I think it will happen. This heavyweight division is very stimulating, there are so many great fights.”
Many were surprised that Wardley made the rematch happen just six days after the loss after the damage he sustained in combat.
Queensberry can confirm that Fabio Wardley has activated his rematch clause following his defeat in last week’s WBO world title fight against Daniel Dubois at Co-op Live in Manchester.

His coach, Ben Davison, has faced criticism on social media, with some believing he should have withdrawn his player before the referee was forced to step in.
He talked to Ade Oladipo Professional boxing fans and admitted that he expected the 31-year-old would have to leave the ring for a longer time.
“I said Fabio needs a break and I love him more than most, but I said, ‘Fabio, four of your last five fights have been complex.
“It’s complex physically, mentally, emotionally; you can say, ‘You know what, I’ll stop for a while and come back.'”
Oladipo continued to explain why Wardley might want an immediate rematch and where his motivations might come from.

“We are just people saying this. Fabio is not a normal man, he is not a normal person and he wants to get his belts back.
“Let’s also not forget that he had a tough fight with Frazer Clark, immediately retaliated and knocked him out after about a minute, so he will have the confidence to hurt Daniel.
“He’ll think, ‘I knocked him down twice, I hurt him on multiple occasions.’
“The most vital factor is the paycheck, the paycheck will be much bigger and it will go to the stadium. Why would you turn that down?”
With just 10 days since their first fight, it will likely be some time before an official announcement is made regarding the date or location of the pair’s rematch, although Warren has raised the possibility of a November clash as a stadium rematch now seems inevitable.
