Dave Allen has called out Lenroy Thomas to fight him again on the undercard of Oleksandr Usyk vs Derek Chisora on October 31.
The affable Brit was originally due to face Christian Hammer, but Hammer has tested positive for coronavirus and so been forced to withdraw.

Allen was previously beaten by Thomas when he faced him for the vacant Commonwealth title back in 2017.
The pair rematched the following year, but Allen suffered a bad cut early on and so the bout was ruled a technical draw.
Thomas then went on to lose in Commonwealth belt to Joe Joyce, who knocked him out in two rounds.
The Jamaican is currently in the UK sparring with Chisora and sent Allen a message after hearing he needs a new opponent.
In a similar style to Usyk’s famous ‘Dereeeek’ call-outs of Chisora, Thomas said: “Dave, Daaaave, hey sweetheart, let’s make it happen baby, the people want it.”
Allen responded: “Hello everyone, people want me to do a video saying Lenroy’s name in that voice that Derek and Oleksandr do.
“It’s not me I can’t do it. I can’t bring myself to do it, I’ve tried. I can’t even say it when I’m on my own, let alone for people to see.

“But Lenroy, from the bottom of my heart I do think you’re an a***hole, so let’s just do it on the 31st, innit. I need an opponent.
“When I boxed you the first time I never trained because I thought you were s***e, and you are s***e, I was just proper s***e.
“But these days I’m just ordinary s***e, not proper s***e and I’ll fill you in, so let’s do it, innit?”
