Per CompuBox, Fisher landed 125 of 395 shots (31.6%), while Allen landed 135 of 303 shots (44.6%). Allen took control of the second half of the fight, as from the fifth round on, he landed 92 power punches to Fisher's 54.
Fisher previously headlined the Copper Box Arena last July, with 7,000+ watching him dismantle Alen Babic in the opening round. Allen is a different animal, and "The Romford Bull" looks to prove he's the real deal.
"The build-up to the fight, it was too friendly," Fisher told Matchroom via DAZN. "It was too nice. I don't really get myself up for it. I need to be a little bit colder. I'm fighting him. He's my enemy. I can't be as nice. When I'm in the ring, I'm not nice, and I've gotta harness that a little bit more. It means doing my job properly.
"My job is to win a boxing match. The bottom line is I'm a professional boxer I've always trained professionally, I've always trained hard but one thing or another gets in the way. Little one percents build up. You don't take your eye off the ball because I'm a professional, but little things can creep in. We're stripping things back to where they need to be."
Allen is 2-2 in his last four fights. "White Rhino" lost out on winning local gold with the loss. The Doncaster-born fighter looks to leave no doubt of his ability on fight night.
"He isn't going to improve from the first fight. People say he's inexperienced, he's going to improve. What can he improve? He's not a natural boxer," Allen told Sky Sports. "I'll train a bit harder, lose a bit of weight. I'll beat him up easily."
