David Allen’s heavyweight bout with Irish southpaw Thomas Carty at Croke Park ended as a reported no contest after 82 seconds, after Carty fell through the ropes and could not continue.
Sky Sports reported that Allen landed a right hand before Carty tumbled from the ring. The account described the fall as involving both the shot and Carty’s momentum, with its precise cause not independently established.
Carty received medical attention, including oxygen, before returning to the changing room. The fight was then abandoned, with no further details about his condition immediately available.
The crowd booed when replays of the incident were shown on the stadium screens. Neither fighter spoke to media immediately after the bout.
The contest was the chief-support fight on the card for Katie Taylor’s apparent farewell bout. Carty had been described as the pre-fight favourite, while Allen is a 34-year-old journeyman from Doncaster.
