Allen said he wanted a big fight at home.

“This is everything I’ve wanted,” Allen said.

“A big fight, at home, in front of my own people. Nights like this don’t come around often, and I’m not letting it pass me by. I know how tough Hrgovic is, but I believe in myself and I’ll be ready to give Doncaster a night to remember.”

Warren represents Hrgovic while Allen is signed to Hearn.

“May 16 will be a magical experience for Dave Allen,” Warren said. “He is taking on a world-class operator in Filip Hrgovic, but he gets to do it on his own doorstep at Doncaster Rovers.”
