We all know I\u2019m not. I\u2019m not a great fighter, I\u2019m a good fighter, but these people have given me the career of a world champion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cI tried me heart out,\u201d he added. \u201cFilip Hrgovic was too good for me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Asked about potentially fighting for the British title, which Allen has said repeatedly was a goal of his but it hasn\u2019t materialized, even though surely it could be done, he sounded reluctant to commit to that again.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cMaybe. It\u2019s a great title to win,\u201d he said. \u201cRichard Riakporhe, I\u2019m not sure I could hang with him, to be honest.
