After 14 months of injury hell, Darren Barker made a triumphant return to the ring at the London Olympia against Kerry Hope on Saturday night.
In a meeting of former European Champions, Barker took out Hope in the fourth round to make a statement in a middleweight division full of domestic and international quality.
Sports Mole caught up with Barker to talk about his mindset, ring rust and aiming for a world-title tilt in 2013.
