Dave Allen weighs in with coat, 20lbs heavier than David Price fight

Heavyweight Dave Allen scaled a whopping 262 pounds and change on Friday ahead of the ‘Doncaster De La Hoya’s return to the ring.

Last time out against David Price, Allen scaled a trim 241 for a high-profile battle, which turned into a nightmare at The O2.

Price had just too much ability for the Yorkshireman. And coupled with his size and big punches – the Liverpool man beat ten lumps out of Allen.

Worried fans took to social media to inform Allen of their concern after the loss, which resulted in the 27-year-old going through some dark times.

An October comeback was canceled as it was deemed too early for Allen to compete again. Now, Allen has the chance to get back on the bike in familiar territory.

Allen heads to Sheffield on Saturday night to face also-ran Dorian Darch on the undercard of Kell Brook’s clash with Mark DeLuca.

Darch was out-weighed by almost two stone as Allen wore a coat and seemingly had his pockets full.
