    Former WBC middleweight champion Sergio Martinez (47-2-2, 26 KO’s) is reportedly set to face unbeaten Darren Barker (23-0, 14 KO’s) from the UK on October 1st. The news was just released from eastside boxing.

    Both fight camps tweeted back and forth today, which resulted in this excellent fight being put together. Martinez had been hoping to get Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., now the WBC middleweight champ, or Miguel Cotto to fight him. However, neither Cotto or Chavez Jr. are currently interested in tangling with the hard hitting southpaw Martinez. But Barker, 29, was more than ready to take the fight. More information will be out later on this new related to contract terms and the venue.
    Martinez recently defeated Sergiy Dzinziruk by an 8th round stoppag
