Moment boxer Dave Allen stops interview - after hearing a woman trapped inside a toilet

Heavyweight boxer Dave 'The White Rhino' Allen received the shock of his life when a screaming woman became trapped in a toilet during an interview.

Allen, recording with Mirror Fighting's Martin Domin , was going through the motions, speaking in 12x3 Boxing gym in Paddington, London.

Suddenly, he became shocked as a woman began to scream and bang on the door outside of the gym hall.

In the video, Allen is seen to spring to attention as the woman begins to make a racket.

Battering on the door, she screams "help, help, I'm trapped in the toilet, help", much to the surprise of everybody in the room.

At first, everybody thinks the woman is in danger. But Allen, who is familiar with the gym, quickly realises that she is locked in the toilet which was marked as 'out of order'.

"She's trapped in the toilet", he says, visibly more calm now he realises the woman is safe.

"The lock's just a little bit funny," he continues, as the woman proceeds to bang manically on the door.

She was quickly freed from the cubicle, before the interview recommenced.

Allen, famous for his Twitter activity and bright personality, was speaking ahead of his fight against Lucas Browne on April 20.

The full interview with 'The White Rhino' will be available on Mirror Fighting next week.
