    It will be proksa up next for barker so since hes rated higher than lee because of his superior opponents and all.
    Mahir oral wont take the fight and gevor is fighting sartison in july for the WBA super middle weight regular title.
    Proksa vs Barker is a mouth watering match up everyone wants to see....

    It was on but not at the mo.

    Thanks.

    If true then Macklin is in a bit of a pickle.

    One option is fighting an eliminator he could lost to fight a champion he would probably beat.

    The other option is a guaranteed shot against a champion he will probably get beaten by.

    It's a difficult decision.

    They have no problem putting a bum in for a shot, but never the other way around. T :verysad

    Macklin will knock Barker out in my opinion. I used to like Barker but he's boring in and out of the ring and is a bit of a hypejob.

    Just my Op but most people seem to be thinking like this mostly due to his last fight.

    Macklin fights Lorenzo and beats him. Macklin fights Sylvester and beats him. Barker keeps beating credible opponents. Warren steps in and wins the bid for a big British world title showdown next year. Let it come to the boil.

    Just stupid games with the sanctioning bodies. EBU is affiliated with the WBC, so the IBF feels the need to **** all over anyone with an EBU strap.
