Comments Thread For: Barker Withdraws With Injury, Purdy Faces Carrasco

Lee Purdy will face unbeaten Gumersindo Carrasco for the IBF International welterweight title at Alexandra Palace on north London on September 8 live on Sky Sports – after Darren Barker has been forced out of the bill through injury.

Former British champ Purdy faces the Argentine Latino champion, who has a formidable 13 KOs from his 16 victories, and the two 25 year olds will take a huge step in their careers if they can land the title that Kell Brook has relinquished to give his stablemate a golden opportunity.

Injured again? What the hell is wrong with Barker this time?

I was kind of looking forward to his return as well ffs but I should of guessed, he'd be forced out with yet another injury.

WOW, that really really sucks that Barker is sidelined AGAIN with an injury. Dude's career is slipping away big time. Damn shame.

I wonder how bothered Barker is about fighting sometimes.
