According to British trade paper Boxing News, the return will go ahead in New Zealand on July 9th. Barrett, in speaking with the magazine, said he will be more sure of himself going into the fight compared to how he felt ahead of the 2010 encounter, and that he is looking to either get a stoppage or a “good decision.” Barrett knows everything will be against him, what with Tua having home advantage, but he says he feels “blessed” to be in the position he is in now, seeing how his career was thought to be over “years ago.”

I thought Barrett retired? Didn't he say he had a job in boxing and he was no longer going to fight? What happened?
Barrett has fought since the Tua fight.

Its a shame that he wasnt given the win against Tua he deserved otherwise he could have gone out on a high.
