Darren Barker vows to prove he’s a world class fighter on September 8th when he steps into the ring at London’s legendery Alexandra Palace to take on Simone Rotolo. Barker speaking exclusively to Sophia De Stefano said”I’m my own worst enemy and critic at times,” “I really needed to prove to myself that I am world class for me to continue. If I had got whitewashed or completely annihilated against Martinez then 100 per cent I would’ve jacked it in because I’m only in this sport to get to the heights and win a World title. In that fight I proved that I’m World class. It was unfortunate, I perforated my eardrum and I just couldn’t continue anymore.”
