if dave allen ever fought anthony joshua in this lifetime can you imagine the pubs and stuff the roofs would come off

[@fidgetspinner343]

Cmon Dave, so want you to win and move on up to the next level. Thousands are rooting for you.

[@mickybrady9478]

Sound guy not too big for his boots says how it is What I fella good luck bro

[@mickybrady9478]

Give me A THUMBS UP BUD YOU GOT THIS

[@spaced9999]

what a lovely bloke. In this age of media trained ,sporting automatons its so refreshing to have someone who is just allowed to be himself, warts and all. Maybe thats why he's so popular; he's lived a life away from the ring, he's a character. Good luck Dave!

[@gdafeaaspol8732]

Josh's reaction to dave saying one of his best mates is 16 hahahahaha

[@MishaElRusito]

hahaha so funny

[@tysonthegoat1960]

Is there any need for the loud dramatic music appearing off and on during the video

[@Sethae]

I'm an easily addicted person and biggest thing for me was to realize I can pick the things I'm addicted to. It's always going to be something. But I can pick.

[@fireblade10honda48]

Keep believing Dave son ! Cos you’ve got loads that believe with ya ... keep focused and don’t switch off mate and your dream starts to come true Saturday ! Good luck fella 👍🏻

[@seanbeangene2521]

How can you not love dave. A sweet man and an inspiration. Satisfying to watch this knowing he stopped browne in the third.

[@bigwhopper1121]

dave allen is the man the pride of yorkshire

[@williamcb78]

How can anyone not be rooting for Dave on Saturday night !?!? I’ll lose my shit if he knocks brown out . 👊🏻🤞

[@simoncrewe5625]

I like this guy, very honest. Great personality

[@maninsligo]

Great interview!

[@nickpellatt]

Big fan of Dave Allen. A very simple and straightforward guy, who is as complicated AF underneath all that. Best wishes for his retirement.

[@tommobaker592]

This guy is most genuine your meet hope he does this business against Browne

[@shannon-the-cannon-Briggs]

Dave is a proper Doni lad through and through.

[@ellie-tp9fb]

Really like this series but can we pls stop with the poorly timed dramatic music 😂

[@boxinglivestreaming7421]

this is the schmoo with the pro

[@mh5863]

Good luck dave respect

[@Capitalgee84]

Man like Dave...

[@paulk1702]

Spot on about gambling ads, Total BS and UK is the world's worst for it.

[@MishaElRusito]

25:34 that's why they have to ban Jarrel Miller for life. This is a fucking crime

[@ToonBadger1]

What a sister!

[@comets00]

why the background music???

[@jimreynolds2399]

I think he'd be better off cutting to cruiserweight. He would be much fitter and faster and, we know he's got the durability so, with the proper guidance, I reckon he could dominate at cruiserweight

[@jpnottingham5562]

Buying people beers in Yate’s lol!

[@littlejohnj1]

Don't see the need for the intense background music Eddie

[@fansovertheworld834]

Only one White Rhino!

[@daleysanders3477]

I can relate with the gambling am never satisfied until av lost every thing 😂 registering with gam stop was best thing I ever did , I put on on for 6 months then I av a little gamble when it ends then I put it back on for 6 months, It was hard for me to register because I do like to gamble, but I like money in my account more 💯👍

[@bettyboop4830]

I bet Dave's a nice person x

[@lindasapiecha2515]

We are all multi faceted dont worry 😊

[@IanBrewster]

You need to get AJ on hear

[@tommydenato8863]

And I thought I couldn't understand Rocky

[@mjkrbjcw]

I always thought it said WAX on his chest 😂😂

[@screwofficial9915]

When’s Dillian whytes one coming out

[@eddieeagle1907]

Modern day Henry Cooper 🦏🦏🦏🦏

[@leesurman2331]

How can you say that

[@eddieeagle1907]

Dnt worry not comparing them as boxers 😂jus Henry Cooper was referd to as our Henry n dave has a similar relationship with the public coz he jus one of us in that sense

[@izzyvlogsvidslol1218]

David Allen is my cousin

[@funkyben4053]

Izzyvlogs Vids lol no

[@izzyvlogsvidslol1218]

Funky Ben he is I have his number

[@banahahqekindlys1921]

Izzyvlogs Vids lol prove it give us his number and I’ll Bell him

[@izzyvlogsvidslol1218]

Banahahqe Kindly s no because he doesn’t want his number given out

[@markallen1057]

He’s a great bloke, I’m a massive fan of his and want him to win fights and succeed more than any fighter I follow.. he said in the Lucas Browne press conference that the fans see him as their friend and it’s like their mate getting in the ring.. I totally agree with it.. I’d be proud to have him as a mate of mine 👍🏻

[@jimmylee7422]

Great series but sort that dramatic music out during the interview, at least turn it down

[@stespark]

Weird eerie music in this doesn't work

[@bazzoman510]

He’s a good body puncher.

[@gee3680]

Who done the music, for this? Jesus it was terrible 😂 well done Dave! You're a gooden!

[@Hugh_Morris]

White Rose

[@adamcummings8744]

Good lad everyone knows that, didn't have to do this interview tho, this ain't a therapy session it's boxing, let the guy box instead of getting to personal

[@mrmg5511]

It sells tickets when people can feel an affinity with the fighter although it was rather obvious what he 'd say before he said it. Tough background, had his problems, funny and does mental things, not too academic etc.

[@bigwolfie3724]

Born fighter my arse

[@robbiebailey3096]

That ones spelt terribly, they’re not the greatest pair of gloves I’ve ever seen and that one doesn’t look like it’s spelt right 😂😂

[@MJMS88]

I'm sorry dave lad but this is gona be the end. Should not be headline early showing 3rd fight before main at best.

[@SP-ri2rr]

Lucas Browne is a doorman too...

[@MJMS88]

@The fastest milkman in the West I admit I was wrong and I thought Browne was better than he was but come on if he goes in with Chisora next he will lose.

[@cliffmatthews6106]

Dave Allen could have been, would have been, but wouldn’t ! Took too much punishment in his early years, should have gone to the Ingle gym, they would have taught him to hit, but not get hit himself, and that is the truth

[@benzulu596]

Denzel looks awkward at times just an average boxing fan than probs only watches AJ and the ppv’s...but doesnt understand domestic levels. Asks generic low level questions. Interview looks too forced. The Rhino looks disinterested at times. Great Win on Saturday. Fair Play Rhino!

[@Ralthy]

I agree he needs way more experience, at times his struggling to speak lol

[@pete9754]

Poor bloke slurs a fair bit now. Took some big shots

[@aaronostick6411]

Is it me or does anyonelse think dave sounds a little punch drunk? I hope not as i really like him.... just to me he does sound a little punch drunk

[@oom133]

Go and visit Doncaster, that's where you'll find answer 😂

[@OAP823]

Fish and a ricecake is not even close to being a scouser does this lad have ears

[@truckertom3884]

Dave is clearly punchie already he talks like he's swallowing his tongue he should find something else

[@christopheclaus8505]

he speaks that way because after the Ortiz fight he got a nasty cut in his tongue thats why you can watch the video :)

[@tJ-ik7op]

Wish josh would stop moving his arms about so much. Giving me anxiety constantly moving

[@nicholasjohn7964]

Get yourself to the doctors bro x

[@jj-iu8rv]

He looks like a fucking thunderbird

[@harrylonsdale3142]

i guess i guess ffs stop.americanism its as corny as f.
