Dave Allen weighed in 20lb heavier than Johnny Fisher for their heavyweight rematch on Saturday in London.<\/b><\/p>\n

The fight occurs five months after Fisher narrowly beat Allen on points<\/a> in Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n

Allen, 33, is the underdog again but was in top spirits at the weigh-in, sporting his own face on his pants as he weighed in 18st 13lb.<\/p>\n

“I am going to get going earlier this time. I’ve come in heavier. I’ve come to get the job done inside the distance,” Allen said.<\/p>\n

Romford’s Fisher was 17st 7lb and is aiming to improve his 13-0 perfect record at the Copper Box Arena.<\/p>\n

Fisher, 26, was knocked down for the first time in his career in his first fight with Allen, but was given a split decision win on the scorecards.<\/p>\n

Speaking to his supporters at the weigh-in, Fisher said: “You are that 12th man on the pitch with me. We’re going to get it done. Bosh.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
