    Well, now the 30-year-old Barker has suffered an arm injury which has scuttled his hopes to take on Rotolo on the Tony Bellew vs. Edison Miranda undercard at the Alexandra Palace in North London, England.


    Barker will need to take a month off to recover from the injury. According to Sky Sports News, Barker suffered tendon damage. Who knows whether he’ll be ready to get back in the ring in a month. When you’re dealing with tendons the injuries can linger on and on for ages.


    Barker hasn’t fought since being stopped in the 11th round by WBC Diamond middleweight champion Sergio Martinez last October.
