Former world middleweight title challenger Darren Barker has revealed he feels like quitting the sport after his latest injury setback.
The 30-year-old Londoner has been forced to pull out of his latest comeback bout with an arm injury, the latest in a long line of problems.
Barker's career has been dogged by injury and inactivity, not least a long-standing hip problem which he has finally overcome.
He had been due to fight for the first time this year against Simone Rotolo at the Alexandra Palace on September 8 before suffering a bicep injury in sparring.
"It was unfortunate, I was in the gym sparring and I caught my elbow on my sparring partner's elbow and damaged the tendon in the bicep so we had a scan and the doctor ruled me out," said Barker (23-1 14KOs). [Click Here To Read More]
