It was previously reported that the show scheduled for September 28 will be headlined by a fight between middleweights Renato Moicano and Benoit Saint-Denis.
"People ask me when my next fight is. Two weeks ago I was offered Imavov in Paris. I responded by agreeing. But I wanted to lead the tournament - after all, I will come to enemy territory and risk a lot. But they put the fight between Saint-Denis and Moicano as the main event. I'm not going to go to bloody Paris to have those two fight in a more important fight. The first one just lost, the second one barely won. I don't like that.
Imavov, you want to fight me, come to America. You and I should not be valued below these guys. Here we will do everything by beauty," Allen said in a video published on social networks.
