Middleweight titleholder Darren Barker has been in two world fights, both away from his home country of England. In 2011, he challenged champion Sergio Martinez in Atlantic City, N.J., and although Barker was stopped in the 11th round, he gave Martinez one of his toughest championship fights. In August, Barker returned to Atlantic City and took a well-deserved split decision against Australia’s Daniel Geale to win a belt. Now, with Barker’s first title defense set, he’ll hit the road yet again, this time going to Stuttgart, Germany, to for a mandatory defense against former three-time titleholder -- and German hero -- Felix Sturm on Dec.
