Dave Allen Pitches Himself for Tyson Fury Tune-Up Before Facing Filip Hrgovic

The offer signals how weekend results could steer the path to a proposed Fury–Joshua fight later in 2026.

Overview

  • Allen, who meets Filip Hrgovic in Doncaster on Saturday, said Wednesday he will call out Tyson Fury if he wins or even after a strong showing.
  • Fury and Anthony Joshua are targeted to fight late this year, with Joshua booked for a July 25 tune-up against Kristian Prenga in Riyadh and Fury weighing a summer bout with no opponent confirmed.
  • Promoter Frank Warren said Hrgovic is under consideration to face rising prospect Moses Itauma on August 8 at London’s O2 Arena, with a decision due next week depending on how Hrgovic emerges from Doncaster.
  • Bookmakers price Allen as a 6/1 underdog against Hrgovic, a nod to his recent level after a 2025 loss to Arslanbek Makhmudov.
  • Promoters caution that any upset or injury in these warm-ups could delay or reshape the timing and terms of the planned Fury–Joshua showdown.
