    Hearing from couple of people this could be happening on March 9th at Wembley Arena. It is an ok fight for Barker but I'd rather see him against someone closer to world level

    Odd fight to make I think.

    No complaints from me mind.

    Sensible fight, Proksa is a step up from Hope, another payday for Barker until he goes back for what will probably be a final bit at the world cherry.

    Does Eddie want rid of Proksa?

    I like this fight. Proksa is the logical step up from Hope and has made a bit of a name for himself in the UK and has the European belt. Would rather it came earlier than March though.

    I can see why Hearn would make this fight, Barker needs to get 12 rounds under his belt before he goes for another crack at a belt IMO.

    Proksa will be more elusive than Hope but I guess thats stating the obvious.
    I don't think Proksa will land on Barker because Barker has a great defense but I can im agine that if Proksa is still there from round 8 onwards and Barker fades then he could cause some damage in the later rounds. I'd say Barker UD but its not the most predictable fight.

    Tiny detail but I think that the belt is vacant at the moment

    I had a gut feeling that this would be the next fight for Barker
