heard about this two weeks ago, posted.....mocked lol Barker has been out of this fight for along time but he wanted it so bad he carried on. he made warren & dean powell fully aware 2 weeks ago. he had a 1/4 of total ticket sales so they wanted to give him every chance to continue. has offered to vacate if he is guaranteed the shot at Macklin but Macklins team are not so sure, I think they have eliminators lined up. Cannot see the fight happening. Here is the current EBU rankings. if we see the Macklin fight for the vacant title it will be one of those in bold.
