I think he\u2019s a better boxer than me. I think he moves well,\u201d Allen said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut I am one big fat hard man. I hit really hard as well. Every time I\u2019ve hit someone, I\u2019ve won. I think with this fella, I\u2019ll catch up with him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Allen said his durability has repeatedly allowed him to outlast opponents at domestic level, and he expects the same pattern against Carty. He believes that experience will tell once the fight moves into the second half.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m big, I\u2019m strong, I eat, I\u2019m durable, and at this level, I think it\u2019ll be enough,\u201d said Allen.<\/p>\n<p>Allen expects the fight to follow a familiar pattern.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is the kind of fight where more often than not I come in, I take a few shots, I get hit for five rounds, they get a bit tired, then I hit them, and it\u2019s over. I think this is how it\u2019ll go. I\u2019ll just soak up what he hits me with. Then I\u2019ll hit him, and then it\u2019s over,\u201d said Allen.<\/p>\n<p>Allen acknowledged that Carty is a capable boxer and stressed there is no bad blood between them, but he made it clear he sees this as the type of fight he is expected to win.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve got a lot of respect for him. He\u2019s a nice guy. It\u2019s not a personal thing. Happy to have the opportunity to box him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Carty enters the fight with an 11-1 professional record, but remains relatively inexperienced at age 30 after turning professional following a modest 26-21 amateur career. Allen will represent the toughest and most experienced opponent he has faced.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Youtube video\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\" nopin=\"nopin\" class=\"perfmatters-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1782966315_28_hqdefault.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Olly Campbell is a boxing journalist who has covered the sport since 2014, providing ringside reporting and technical analysis of major bouts.
