    This will be on Sky, same card as Audley-Sprott.

    Barker will fight Affif Belghecham

    A shame that Macklin-Barker couldn't be made but hopefully it happens somewhere down the line.

    Affif has lost to Andy Lee recently.

    Shame about the opponent (although I guess they couldn't get anyone that was great at such short notice), but at least after this Barker will be able to step it up.

    Barker said, "I’m very grateful to Matchroom" which suggests Fat Mick played no part in getting Darren this shot ;)

    I guess Macklin had to **** or get off the pot..... changing opponents here there and everywhere.

    Not a bad fight to make with it being short notice, fair play to all involved :good

    Great news for Barker.

    Hopefully he can make up for lost time now and step up!

    Will be the exact shame as the Lee fight imo without the lapse at the end.

    Good for Barker this really came out of nowhere for him.

    The aussie poster on here the other day said maybe a fight with Danny Geale which would be a good match up
