"Gambling has ruined my life" - first 30 seconds of the video is an annoying gambling advert. Good luck to Dave Allen- hope he does well. Stay away from those gambling machines lad
Dave allen is the most refreshing sports person his so dwn to earth an so normal for sumone in his position i wish you all the luck in the world in your career an in life
Best personality in boxing, and a breath of fresh air. Humble, honest, and such a likeable young man. Can't help but wish the best for him.. win or lose. Continue to make the most of this opportunity Dave, you deserve to be happy.
Any dad's that watched this interview is the blueprint of how important men are in a child's life. Especially after whats happened in manchester recently. Brilliant interview and best of luck on saturday Dave mate!
Too true. Not looking for sympathy but I lost my dad at 10 and had no fatherly figure. No grandparents either. I feel my life would have been totally different had my dad lived longer.
I really like dave, i follow all the boxers and must say he is the most honest and down to earth fella out of the all, go get the win on Saturday pal u deserve it.
Dave Allen is a legend open honest and no bullshit about he's problems if more people were like that a lot of issues wouldn't be swept under the carpet. Good luck for Saturday Dave
This man has to be my favourite boxer by a mile, he's not got the best skill but what an amazing, relatable, and genuinely funny man. Makes my day. Thank you Dave
Dave Allen is a breath of fresh air, genuine and down to earth as they come. Hope nothing but the best for him and his family. Already know your father is proud of you mate, how could he not be?
Well done to Dave for being so honest about the issues (gambling) that have affected his life. Hopefully now someone in his life will give him the help he needs to overcome these issues, if not he will end up depressed with no money again.
Wow! The best interview I've seen for ages, I've followed Dave since the Whyte fight. Fair play to Dave for opening up like he did, not many boxers would! Respect from the south east and all the best for Saturday night pal!
the most genuine lad ever. i'd give my right arm to see this lad become world champion, he definitely has the knockout power and he can withstand any punch, absolute granite chin! Dave Lad its written in the stars for you, seize this amazing opportunity you've been, i can honestly see you goin all the way. props to Kugan and Eddie for givin this kid this opportunity.
Love how genuine and candid Dave is, this is a good insight into how depression can affect people. You're still young enough to make a decent fist of your career son, keep working on maintaining your mental health bro. I applaud you for speaking about it and raising awareness...
This interview just proves why we all love Dave Allen great person and as a fellow Yorkshire lad myself I really hope he wins that belt, even if he doesn't we'll still support him, just keep at it and don't fall back into a bad place if the worst happens.
What an absolute gem of a man. Brilliant interview, Very honest and truthful! Brillaint working class guy, All the best for Saturday You can do it Dave!
He just kept it real. Good luck to him. Johnny Nelson always said he didn't have natural talent but the training and teaching he got from his trainers made him a world champ, so Dave just gotta buckle down and see how far he can go but put his best foot forward. Got heart so that's a start.
for someone who is an ex gambling addict and 4 years clean, i can fully relate to Dave Allen! and hats off to him for being so honest about. The first step is admitting you have a problem! good luck Dave, you can do it mate!
in hospital with a broken leg both arms and both sides of pelvis from car crash on the 13th and can't wait to stream the fight and watch you for fill your dreams on Saturday mate good luck Dave.
Garry Bee his name is Kugan not Kurgan lol and it's moron not moran. Your jumping all over people's posts because you think they are spelling Kugan's name wrong yet you are the one who is wrong. Grow up pal and get a life.
Daves life was almost a carbon copy of Tyson fury’s, when he lost it. The weight gain, the depression, the addiction, yet nobody knows about it.2 and a half years after this video was made and this is the first i knew he was fighting all these demons. Big respect to him sorting himself out. Boy deserves a good life.i hope he gets it.
DBSix I know a guy who made over 10000 this year by playing poker online on poker stars! No he don,t win everyday but you got to look in the long run in poker! And there is many more like him so all of you who think you can,t win on gambling trust me you can! Just stick to poker.
Ive seen a few comments on here from people saying "why give this guy a 30minute interview he is a shit boxer" lol and things like this guy is a bum he should quit boxing. I dont get people like that and as for the guy who said they should only give 30minute interviews to the world champions what a total idiot he must not be able to relate to people as he would rather listen to a boring boxer talk shit than a guy who is been open and honest. I wish more sportsmen and women opened up like this as it would help others who are going through the same thing.
gambling addiction truly sucks. iv been hooked for years. The longest I abstained was 1 year but like many I have relapsed. I'm slowly breaking free though. never had addictions like smoke, drink or drugs. I did them but was never gripped but gambling is a whole different animal. Worst thing that can happen to you is you get a big win
This guy.. brilliant. Really is special. Wish him all the best in and out of the ring. Really hopes he gets and keeps the gambling under control and is surrounded by people who look out for him.
This guy cracks me up. I've heard his name before because I like boxing, but I've never seen his face before, or heard him talk. I'm rooting like mad for him now though. Come on son!
Great bloke, Dave Allen! Had the pleasure of speaking to him on the phone on a number of occasions and he is refreshingly honest and incredibly funny. He truly deserves this platform and I hope he goes home with the Commonwealth title on Saturday night.
Gambling is a horrible life ruining addiction and illness. I wish Dave all the success in the world as he is a great guy. i just hope that he has the people around him to get him away from the gambling before its too late.
I love this guy, I would be literally on the edge of tears if this guy sorted his shit out in the gym, became and absolute monster and won a world title, it would be fucking amazing. fan.
Dave Allen I hope u smash it Saturday but from someone who suffers with anxiety and depression you are true inspiration top man and brutally honest thanks Dave it shows anyone can suffer
Watched the whole video now. Massive respect to you Dave for admitting gambling problem and depression. I've got previous experience with addiction (well, still current really because it never goes away) and also currently on medication for depression so i can relate to you! I hope you read these comments. There's nothing but good words about you. I know you're an IFL fan, but i don't know if you watch the video of yourself. Would love to go for a pint with you! lol. Well, a pint of coke i guess as you said that you don't drink! lol. Good luck for Saturday. You can do it!
What a genuinely nice fella! Really hope Dave goes from strength to strength, wins the Commonwealth and is able to get the British and European eventually. A shot at the World might be a step too far but anything is possible if he applies himself and gets good learning fights.
I've never wanted somebody to win a fight so much in my whole entire life. We're all rooting for you, fella.
wiggyp1v2 same here pal
Same here!
Amir Khan eddeh sed yew still voiding me pusssseh eddeh gunna make all wates 1 wate so u can't hide weneh win eddeh gunnah buy me stockings n let me wear them
Damn right, if he loses (which I feel is highly unlikely given this interview) I hope he doesn't let the demons get to him. He's a top bloke.
Feet Thong you what mate? English please 😂😂😂
No matter what you think of this guy as a fighter and athlete, you cannot hate this lad as a person! Keep working hard Dave!

Guys funny as hell too, I still laugh to my self when I think about that weigh-in he done when he stuffed his pants full of socks, fucking hilarious.
He didn't stuff socks down there! That was just his massive balls! lol.
You have just gained me as a fan. Refreshingly honest and open interview. Need more people in the media spotlight to be as authentic as this.
I met Dave briefly yesterday, wished him luck. Best bit was he actually stopped for me before i even went to shake his hand. Top bloke
Top bloke is Dave! Always enjoy his chat and honesty.. rare to find in celebs nowadays
"Don't give me any grief, just do what you gotta do." Hahaha, Dave would be a good teacher.
