    He'll not fight Barker at the moment imo, at least not on the September bill. Heard rumours of it possibly being Craig McEwan(who I'm a big fan of) but can't see that happening which is why I was asking if anything was confirmed. A big win would get him back in title contention so hopefully Matchroom do there usual good job of making a competitive fight

    Proksa is in negotiations with Golovkin so he may be vacating the EBU title which would leave Barker fighting yet another poor Spada-type opponent in all likelyhood.

    Really getting ****ed off that himself and Macklin or Lee can't get a fight sorted.

    Really think a super 6 type thing for our middleweights would be great, loads of big fights in Britain. That said the money is the US is so much better I'm guessing Lee/Macklin won't be back here until they have no options

    The real reason none of these great clashes are happening (Barker/Murray/Lee/Macklin) to me is the fact boxers don't like to lose to domestic rivals. Look at Fury with Price.
