UNDIE CONTROL

Allen stripped it back & got his career on track

- 

JUST who is the real Dave Allen?

Is he the chancer who blagged a job as a supply teacher only to punch a sheep on a school trip?

Or the compulsive gambler who blew a fortune on the horses?

Or the new homeowner who slept on his floor for two years instead of asking for help to build a bed?

Or the underwear model?

He is all of those people.

But he is also now the doting dad of two young children who has eventually settled down.

And tonight, Allen plans to finally look like a fighter.

Now 33, this is not his first attempt at gatecrashing boxing's top tier.

But he fought Dillian Whyte having gambled away his £8,000 purse before it hit his bank account.
