Allen‘s popularity rose again after his high-profile two-fight rivalry with Johnny Fisher.
The White Rhino fell to a controversial points defeat in the pair’s first fight before knocking out the Romford Bull in their rematch.
Since then, Allen was outpointed by KO artist Arslanbek Makhmudov, but he bounced back in style with a stunning first-round stoppage win over Karim Berredjem in February.
Hrgovic heads into the bout in good form after beating British pair Joe Joyce and David Adeleye last year.
