2008 Olympics Bronze medallist David Price has won a fight with the popular British super heavyweight Dave Allen; following the match Dave Allen was rushed to hospital.
Throughout the battle, Price skilfully made use of his significant size advantage and longer arms, gradually capturing the initiative.
By the eighth round, his advantage was almost overwhelming, Allen received a cut over his right eye, and after two more rounds the referee decided to stop the fight. Dave Allen was given an oxygen mask after the fight and left the ring on a stretcher.
The official verdict is that David Price won the bout by TKO in the tenth round.
Can’t think of many things worse than being upper cutted straight on the shnoz and flemed on all at the same time 🤢 #PriceAllen pic.twitter.com/CwDP0l3O72
