Darren Barker intends to signal the start of a new middleweight era by sending Felix Sturm into retirement.
Sturm is a former world champion himself, who sat near the summit of his weight class for over five years before his lengthy reign as WBA king was ended by Daniel Geale last year.
The Barnet man wants to dominate the division in similar fashion after beating Geale in August, but firstly must prove that Sturm's time at the top is over.
Defeat would be a crushing blow for Sturm's career and Barker believes the veteran will be forced to walk away from the sport this weekend.
