Matthew Macklin-Darren Barker Off, As Barker Suffers Hip Injury In Training

In breaking news, BBC Sport has revealed how the eagerly anticipated British and European middleweight title clash between champ Darren Barker and challenger and former European champ Matthew Macklin is off. The all-British fight was set to go ahead as part of promoter Frank Warren

Finally Barker found an excuse to pull. He was going to get beaten and screw up his future ambitions of a title shot. Oh well but I hope the EBU puts purse bids out again for this fight in the near future.

That's shite. Thankfully the one I'm looking forward to most (Cleverly Murat) is still on there.....for now. I hope they remove it from box office now.

Its off

Gods that terrible.

It was always a bit of a risk putting a domestic type show... even a stacked domestic show like this on PPV but the sheer quantity of quality bouts would have carried it through.

Now... with Barker and Rhodes off?

Should probably look to getting this on Sky.

Still looking forward to Cleverly - Murat and also Sexton - Chisora. Enzo - Frenkel should be entertaining too. It would be amazing if this was non-ppv, but suspect it still will be due to the amount of talent still on the bill.
