Boxing: BARKER RARING TO GO

Darren Barker is looking forward to his first professional appearance in London on November 12.

The former amateur star boxes on the Hennessy Sports 'Born To Do It' promotion at the Wembley Conference Centre, in what will be his second fight since since doing away with the vest and headguard.

The Barnet boy first stepped through the ropes back in September at the Nottingham Arena when he impressively outpointed Howard Clarke over six lively rounds.

Barker now boxes Taz Jones on the Junior Witter - Krzysztof Bienias undercard, and is looking forward to showcasing his skills.

"There is a bit of a buzz around Barnet for this one," explained the 22-year-old.
