DONALD Allison started his professional career on June 17, 1988 at the Meadowlands Hilton in Secaucus, New Jersey. Allison was 24 years old at the time and a resident of the USA, when he won by decision a four-round bout against Jose Nieves. 

Allison secured his first defeat in bout number seven. Puerto Rican Jake Rodriguez won the six-round bout by unanimous decision. Allison secured his 10th professional victory on April 13, 1990 when he won the eight-round contest against Honduran Jose Avila by unanimous decision.
The contest was held at the Gleason Arena in Brooklyn, New York, Allison’s adopted home city. He had another try at Avila three months later. This time, the New York State junior welterweight title was at stake, and at the end of 10 rounds the Honduran was again left without a victory.
Judges Jack DeFares and Al Reid scored the bout 96-90 while Harold Lederman saw it 96-93 all in favour of Allison. In July 1992 Allison had his only fight in Guyana. He won the 10-rounder against an experienced Barrington Cambridge on points. Allison quit the sport in 1994 after losing three of four fights that year and returned to Guyana.
He later opened a gym in Agricola. Allison died in September 2005 after being gunned down. He won 14 fights, lost six and drew one.
