Retirement
Allen announced his retirement from boxing on 15 November 2020, stating, "The reason for me calling it a day is simple. I don’t want to get punched anymore. Long gone are the days of the kid from Donny who wants to fight. All I want now is a nice quiet life with a wife and some kids. Healthy and happy getting nice and fat."[13] However, in April 2021, he revealed via social media that he plans to return to boxing, saying, ""I had a meeting today and what I wanted was, I wanted to come back and box, but I want to come back at a low level. I want to enjoy my boxing, I want to win titles, whatever titles they may be. I will be boxing again but I won't be coming back and boxing Alen Babic and Fabio Wardley for at least 12 months. I just want to come back and enjoy boxing."[14][15]
Allen vs. Pesce
On 27 August, 2021, Allen returned from retirement to fight Andrea Pesce at the Ponds Forge Arena in Yorkshire. Allen comfortably won by technical knockout in the 2nd round.[16]
