LENNOX ‘Too Sharp’ Allen’s ‘day of reckoning’ in the sport of boxing is finally here, and the 33-year-old Guyanese is seemingly excited to embrace it.

Allen will step into the ring tonight against American Derrick ‘Take it to the Bank’ Webster at the Grand Casino Hinckley in Minnesota, USA. At stake is the Interim World Boxing Association (WBA) super middleweight title.

Both fighters hold an impressive record, but of the two, Allen is unbeaten while Webster picked up one defeat. While Allen is ranked #8 by the World Boxing Association (WBA), Webster is one position higher (#7).

In a recent interview with Chronicle Sport, Allen noted that he sees the fight tonight as “the opportunity of a lifetime,” adding “I feel like this is what I’ve been working all these years to achieve and the time is right now. I just have to stay focussed.”

The former Guyanese super middleweight champion picked up his 21st win in the ring after a third-round TKO victory over American Willis Locket in their light heavyweight contest to remain unbeaten in his professional boxing career.

With the victory, Allen lived up to his alias ‘Too Sharp’, with Willis becoming the 14th victim of Allen’s deadly right hand, while the ‘GT’ fighter’s only blemish was his draw against American Darnell Boone in 2010.

Allen’s opposition holds a ring record of 28 wins; 14 coming by KOs, and his only defeat came against Arif Magomedov, when he lost the vacant World Boxing Organisation NABO middleweight title in 2015 by unanimous decision.

Webster, 36, is the United States Boxing Organisation super middleweight champion, as well as the World Boxing Foundation International super middleweight and American Boxing Federation Continental Americas super middleweight champion.
