Terry Allen (8 June 1924 – 8 April 1987) was an English flyweight boxer. During his career, he became British, Commonwealth, European and World flyweight champion.
Family
Born in Islington, London, Allen's father was a professional boxer. His mother died when he was two, and he was raised by his grandmother. Six of his cousins were also professional boxers.
Amateur career
He started boxing when he was nine and won a schoolboy championship.{{cite news |title=New Flyweight |work=Liverpool Echo |date=7 September 1943 |accessdate=15 January 2018 |url=https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/viewer/bl/0000271/19430907/059/0002| via = British Newspaper Archive|url-access=subscription }} During his amateur career, he won 102 out of 107 contests.
