Matthew Macklin admits he will not face British rival Darren Barker in the near future if he takes the WBA title from Gennady Golovkin.
Macklin will have his third shot at a middleweight world title when he takes on the big-punching Golovkin in Connecticut on June 29.
Barker and Martin Murray, who challenges WBC king Sergio Martinez this month, have both expressed a desire to fight Macklin in a bid to decide the No 1 in the domestic division.
But Macklin has been pursuing big names in America after linking up with New York promoter Lou DiBella and will put back plans for a Barker showdown if he defeats Golovkin.
