Maybe Barnes wanted to get more fights as he wasnt under SN? his last fight was a pointless 4 rounder against Silence Saheed where fighters like Matthew Hall and a few other could of used that space for learning fights instead of not fighting at all. Also while i am at it When is Gary lockett fighting again, its not good for him just having a 30 second fight and having to wait 5 months for his next fight.Former British welterweight champion David Barnes has been added to the Clinton Woods vs Jason Delisle IBF light-heavyweight title card at the Ponds Forge Centre in Sheffield on May 13.
According to Fight Academy promoter Dennis Hobson the 25 year-old from Manchester will take part 'in a meaningful 10 round fight'. The Sheffield promoter also speculated that if David comes through unscathed he will look to get him a top 15 world ranking and a world title fight at light-welterweight.
The Sheffield undercard also features Mark Krence defending his English heavyweight title against Carl Baker, as well as local favourites Femi Fehintola, Nicky Smedley and John Ibbotson.
