Allen back in the ring next month

LENNOX `2 Sharpe’ Allen is expected back in the ring next month for his 20th professional bout but up to yesterday his opponent remained unknown. 

Internet website Boxrec.com reported that Allen is scheduled to fight an eight-rounder on April 17 at the Mohegan Sun Casino in Connecticut, USA but did not reveal the identity of his opponent.
A former CABOFE super middleweight champion, Allen made his last appearance in the ring in January when he secured his 18th professional victory following a second round knockout of Ghanaian Koso `Dangerous’ Issah.
The Ghanaian was stopped at 51 seconds of the round. The six-foot one-inch Allen has since moved up to the light heavyweight division.
Last October the 29-year-old southpaw was scheduled to clash with Julio Garcia but the fight was cancelled when his opponent weighed in 15 pounds over the168-pound super middleweight limit.
Allen turned pro in 2004. He secured the vacant World Boxing Council, Caribbean Boxing Federation (CABOFE) title in 2011 following a unanimous 12-round decision over Kwesi Jones at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall.
However, his career had slowed with him having one fight in 2012 and a similar number in 2013.
Allen is undefeated in 19 fights (one draw) and has a 57 percent knockout average.
