For Allen, a veteran heavyweight without a title to his name across a lengthy career, it pits him against a rising star with whom he previously sparred early in Fisher's career.
But ahead of their official bout in the ring, the Doncaster-born star has laid down the gauntlet in confident fashion, suggesting that his foe has very little chance against him.
"I’m feeling amazing," he told DAZN. "I’m in career-best shape. I’ve never felt better. [Johnny is] a lovely kid, a fantastic athlete, but this is boxing. I fully expect to knock him out.
"I’m on another level, completely. I’ve took it seriously, and it doesn’t come overnight. I’m more than good enough to beat him, one-hundred percent. My talent beats him.
"It beats anyone outside the top ten. I’ve always believed that. This fella is not in my league. I don’t see him lasting two or three rounds. I’m not that kind of person.
"When I was nineteen, I’d have played with him. I won’t do that Saturday night. I’ll knock him out. I met him as a kid. He can’t beat me in a month of Sundays, no way.
"Dave Allen is one of the best heavyweights in the world, talent-wise. Now I’ll put it all together and will shock everyone. I will knock him spark out."
