      JOHNNY FISHER has been STOPPED by Dave Allen after a savage TKO defeat.The thrilling rematch was warming up nicely at the Copper Box with Fisher winning all of the first four rounds, before Allen dropped Fisher twice to pick up the huge win in front of Fisher’s home fans.On the undercard, George Liddard and Kieron Conway both picked up big wins with the pair on a collision course.Main card start time: 7pm BSTMain event ring walk time: approx 10pm BSTLive stream/TV: DAZNBEST ONLINE CASINOS – TOP SITES IN THE UKFollow ALL the action from the Copperbox Arena with our live blog below…Fisher latestThere has been no further update on Johnny Fisher’s condition or if he need any more medical checks than the one he received in the ring.He was pictured in the dressing room after the fight with both his dad, Big John, and then chatting to Dave Allen.Fisher wasn’t cleared for any post-fight media duties but it certainly appears that there have been no ill-effects from the huge KO.Copy linkCopied’Learn and improve’Boxing coach and analyst Dave Coldwell believes Johnny Fisher can come back from here despite the brutal nature of that KO.He wrote on social media: “Johnny Fisher is still a young prospect at 26. It’s a bad, brutal loss and something that he needs to learn and improve from.”But we’ve seen fighters come back from losses like that before. “So let’s get behind the comeback rather than rip the kid to shreds.”Boxing is a cold & lonely enough sport when you lose. “He doesn’t need a pile on.”Coldwell had earlier posted: “Absolutely sensational from Dave Allen! So composed, and a brutal finish.”After a long hard career, I think he’s just got himself an invite to the heavyweight party.”He also wrote that he did not want to see a trilogy.Copy linkCopied’Deserves his moment’Charlie Edwards was one of thousands of fight fans congratulating Dave Allen on a truly incredible win.The former flyweight world champ said: “So happy for Dave Allen he deserves his moment! “Hard luck to Johnny Fisher he is a true gentleman of the game!”Copy linkCopiedFirst ever titleDespite his long and rollercoaster career in the sport, tonight was the first time that Dave Allen has ever got his hands on a belt in the professional ranks.It was the WBA intercontinental belt.Allen also said he wants to try and win the British title.We also reckon he could get a stadium fight – we hope those at Doncaster Rovers were watching that tonight.Copy linkCopiedBrutalHere’s how the stunning finish came out. Absolute brutal perfection from Dave Allen.Copy linkCopiedWally Downes Jr’s fight reportHere’s how SunSport’s boxing correspondent Wally Downes Jr saw the fight.DAVE ALLEN scored a knockout of the year contender to brutally finish his Johnny Fisher rivalry.The 33-year-old Doncaster man was on the wrong end of a controversial decision against the Romford ticket seller, 26 in December in Saudi Arabia.But he snatched his career out of the hands of the judges at Stratford’s Copper Box by smashing Fisher in the fifth round with a brilliant left hook, leaving the brave history graduate needing oxygen.Read the rest here:Copy linkCopiedNothing from FisherWe won’t be hearing from Johnny Fisher tonight because the British Boxing Board of Control will not allow him to speak.It’s not clear if he will be making his way to hospital tonight, but that was a vicious KO and they may decide it’s best if he gets properly checked over.We’ll provide an update if and when we get one.Copy linkCopiedWill they meet again?While Eddie Hearn mentioned a rematch clause, Allen said he’s not interested.The White Rhino said: “I wouldn’t allow [a trilogy fight] to happen, because it’s not in his best interests.”Copy linkCopiedMore from AllenThis was Allen’s in-ring interview in a bit more depth: “I knew the first fight did me a world of good.”I put a bit of weight on, I knew it would pay dividends, took the risk. I’m the fattest, hardest man you’ll ever see.”You know what it means? The belt, everything. “My kids, yeah – I’m gonna have an en suite, they’ll have their own bathroom between them.”At this level, I’m a handful. He overexaggerated the movement, which worked against him.”I’ve got experience, I know the game inside-out. I’m him, but with 30 more fights basically.”He’s my friend. He’s a very good friend of mine.”Copy linkCopied’Cinderella story’Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn said: “If anyone was gonna break your heart, you’d want it to be Dave Allen. It’s a real Cinderella story.”Changed his life again, but this time in a big, big way. He just knew too much in there.”Johnny, the board wouldn’t let him do an interview, he’s a brave man. Maybe he shouldn’t have taken the rematch, but he wanted to put the wrongs right.”Johnny’s got to come back and rebuild.”Hearn mentions a rematch clause, but says it’s one for “down the line.”Copy linkCopied’Means everything’Allen added: “This means everything to me. “I’ve been written off so many times.”I am the fattest, hardest man you’ll ever see.”Copy linkCopiedFISHER BADLY HURTMedics have rushed in the ring as Fisher is needed to be given oxygen – it’s not looking good for him and this is worrying to see. All seems to be okay now as Fisher is on his feet and congratulates the victor.Copy linkCopiedAllen loving itThe White Rhino: “The first fight done me the world of good.”I put a bit of weight on for the body shots. Took the risk and got [the title].”My kids can have an en suite now, that’s the dream.”At this level, I’m a handful.”Copy linkCopiedKO in PicturesCopy linkCopiedFisher up and OK There was some concern for Johnny Fisher immediately after the fight as medics rushed into the ring to help the Romford Bull.Fisher needed oxygen inside the ring as there was silence inside the Copper Box.Thankfully, Fisher was soon up on his feet and able to talk to the victor.Copy linkCopiedALLEN WINS BY KO IN R5!!!!!Just before the first knockdown Allen landed a powerful straight right which left Fisher stumbling.OH WOW JUST LIKE THE FIRST FIGHT FISHER IS DOWN!!It looked to be in identical fashion to how he put his opponent down in the first fight!AND THAT’S IT!

      EBERECHI EZE has given Crystal Palace a DREAM start against Man City in the FA Cup final – before Omar Marmoush then MISSED a penalty for Man City! The Eagles have never lifted a major trophy in their 120-year existence as a professional club.However, Pep’s men earned their spot by beating a then-in-form Nottingham Forest in the previous round, and will be desperate to secure silverware despite having a well below-par campaign.The game is starting at 4.30pm after BBC and ITV came to an agreement over the off time – the former wanted a 3pm kick-off to avoid a clash with Eurovision, while the latter wanted a prime 5.30pm slot.
