Dazzling Darren Barker will top the Betfair ‘London’s Finest’ bill on March 9 at the Wembley Arena heading an action packed card of top class fighters.

 

 

Barker returned to action in stunning style in December, stopping fellow former European middleweight champion Kerry Hope in four rounds of their clash at the London Olympia in Betfair’s ‘Christmas Cracker’ and the Barnet man will be looking for another devastating performance against a soon-to-be-named opponent as he hunts a second World title shot.

 

“It is an honour to be topping the bill at Wembley at a local, prestigious venue,” said Barker. “There was a bit of pressure with the Hope fight because there is a fine line between winning and losing and it can easily go wrong. I was pleased to get the win in good fashion.”

 

Lee Purdy gets his chance to move to World level in the welterweight scene as he defends his IBF International belt against Carson Jones – a mouth-watering clash that was cancelled in December after the Colchester man fell ill in the build-up. Jones boxed on after an opponent was found in Dean Byrne, and they fought out an eight-round draw – but Purdy is expecting the Oklahoma man to be firing on all cylinders on March 9.

 

“All the hard work had been done and to pull out was absolutely devastating,” said Purdy. I won’t read too much into Carson Jones’ performance and I will be expecting best Carson Jones on the night.”

 

A cracking rematch features on the bill with Danny Connor defending the Southern Area light welterweight title against Chris Evangelou. Connor claimed the title in a close fight at the Alexandra Palace in September, and true to his word he’s ready to face the popular Evangelou to set the record straight.

 

“I would literally fight in his back yard, as long as I am fighting for the belt that is all that matters,” said Connor.

 

Evangelou added: “The new year has started so well for me, I am so happy. There are going to be so many people at Wembley Arena. I have fought there twice before and just to fight there once is good enough but this is for the third time and for the title.”

 

Erick Ochieng will defend his English light middleweight title on the bill, and fellow bright young London prospects John Ryder, Martin J. Ward, Larry Ekundayo and Wadi Camacho will also be in action.

Prospect Wadi Camacho Ready To Impress At Prizefighter - International Heavyweights


After just three professional outings Canning Town Cruiserweight prospect Wadi ‘Machoman’ Camacho gets the chance to shine on the national stage this coming Wednesday, when he takes part in a Prizefighter Prospects bout that supports the latest installment of the highly successful Skysports televised Betfair Prizefighter series.

Camacho, who is managed and trained by Brian Lawrence at the TRAD TKO Boxing Gym in Canning Town, earned the coveted ‘Prospects’ spot following his crowd pleasing, winning, performances against Ireland based Ugandan Moses Matovu in January, a sensational second round stoppage of Lithuanian hardman Rolandas Cesna in March and just last month his supreme domination of Lithuanian Igor Borucha.

Following his final training session last night, a relaxed Camacho said, “I’m so looking forward to it, it’s good to be allowed to fight on a big stage, so it’s gonna be bombs away really.

My first fight was a bit tough but I dealt with the guy on the night, the same with my other two, this one may be even tougher.

This kid’ll be coming to impress also, you don’t get that many opportunities when you first start out to be on such a big televised show. He’ll be coming to fight, but I’ll just do the business on him also.

I know it’s early days but I’ve only got eyes for one thing. One day I want the Lonsdale Belt round my waist. I know if that is to happen I have to fight every fight as if it’s a title fight, I have to win and I have to impress.

Brian, (Manager/Coach Brian Lawrence) has a pedigree of producing Champions, if I keep on winning, hopefully he’ll get me a shot next year, or the year after, but right now though it’s still a learning process and I have to still prove myself.

The way my preparations have gone, the training and the sparring, it’s been excellent. My power has really increased, it’s unbelievable and my weight is fantastic, you know, I’m weighing 14-8 now, I’ve comfortably come down from 15-6, which is spot on.

To all my fans can I say - Enjoy the night, I tell you all the time, I’m a cool guy and I will be showering big bombs on the night.”

Wadi Camacho versus Paul Morris features as support to the Matchroom Sport promoted Betfair Prizefighter - International Heavyweights tournament, which takes place at York Hall in Bethnal Green on Wednesday 20th June 2012, and is broadcast live and exclusive on Skysports.
