    I can say with absolute certainty that Barker is having back Pain, he will go through with the fight though unless it gets a lot worse in the next week.

    Eddie Hearn has him locked in his **** dungeon,hes only allowed out to interview Barry and talk about non related boxing stuff like shitty Leighton Orient and darts.

    He interviewed Lee Purdy this week, but has been otherwise pretty quiet.

    They do TV & Film stuff as well, maybe they are busy with that?

    He's injured according to my source, Would say he's 75% fit at the most.

    A sad story but he will fight, He will last maximum of 8 rounds.. He has to take Geale out before his back goes I reckon

    This is correct, any other fight (Non world title fight and he would have called it off) barker will be looking for the KO from the opening bell.

    Darren isn't injured don't listen to rumours,do you honestly think an experienced team like his would fight with an injury as bad as what's being claimed? NO!!!!!!

    TBH i will be choked up if or when he lifts that world title. He's a lovely bloke and a fighting man.

    It would be great to see him do it he would make a good few quid defending it against the likes of Murray Macklin or Lee.

    Too many politics involved for Barker v Murray, if he wins it, his first defence will almost certainly be against Macklin
