Filip Hrgovic Stops Dave Allen in Third-Round Towel Finish

The win positions the Croatian contender for a proposed summer matchup with rising prospect Moses Itauma.

Overview

  • Hrgovic ended Allen’s hometown main event at 2:37 of round three on Saturday after trainer Jamie Moore threw in the towel and referee Steve Gray stopped the fight in Doncaster.
  • Hrgovic controlled the action from the start, established a hard jab, trapped Allen on the ropes, and landed repeated clean shots while the Brit struggled to fire back.
  • Allen accepted the decision, telling DAZN that Hrgovic was “too good,” and he backed Moore’s call while saying he may continue for a few more fights.
  • Queensberry’s George Warren said a fight with 21-year-old Moses Itauma “can” be made next, and Hrgovic said he is ready to face anyone.
  • The DAZN-streamed stadium bout advances Hrgovic to 20-1 with 15 knockouts, adding to wins over Joe Joyce and David Adeleye since a 2024 loss to Daniel Dubois.
