Underdog Allen turned in one of his best performances in recent years, hurting Fisher on multiple occasions in the Saudi slugfest.

And he floored the Matchroom Boxing prospect in the fifth round, a knockdown many thought would see him get the nod.

But the judges sensationally awarded 'The Romford Bull' a split decision victory, a result which was met with a chorus of BOOS from the fans in attendance.

And boxing fans worldwide flocked to social media to express their anger at the result.
