Dave Allen Reveals The Hardest Hitter He's Faced

British heavyweight Dave Allen has shared the ring with several high-caliber opponents, establishing himself as a gutsy, fan-favourite boxer. Over the course of his career, he has tested his skills against both rising prospects and established veterans, giving fans plenty of memorable moments.

According to Dave Allen, there’s one fighter who stands above the rest for sheer power, none other than Derek Chisora.

In interviews, Dave Allen has openly reflected on his time in the ring with Derek Chisora. Despite battling other knockout artists, Dave Allen has been clear that Derek Chisora’s punches left the biggest impression. He describes feeling the raw, relentless force behind every shot, emphasizing that no other opponent made him more aware of heavyweight power.

I think for one punch power, Derek Chisora. Obviously, I don’t think he was the best, but in terms of one-punch power and brute force, it is him. His right hand was very heavy. Not the quickest and not much disguise to it. I could see it coming, and I could brace for it, but I felt it, that is for sure.
