By Scott Gilfoid: Former British super middleweight champion James DeGale (10-1, 8 KO’s) has been sparring with middleweight Darren Barker to get ready for DeGale’s October 15th fight against EBU super middleweight champion Piotr Wilczewski (29-1, 10 KO’s) at the Echo Arena in Liverpool, England. I think Barker will get more from the sparring to help him against Sergio Martinez, the WBC Diamond champion, in their fight next week than DeGale getting anything from it.
