Got to admit to being taken by shock when I heard this fight announced, without any prior hint, this morning.
On paper, it sounds a great match and a massive test for Khan and popssibly a step too far after the hugley suspect year that he'd had.
Barrera was a fantastic boxer in his time but retired 18 months ago after two comprehensive defeats in 2007. Not only is he stepping out of retirement and coming to Khan's backyard, he's moving up a division or two to take on Khan.
Think it's clever match making by Frank Warren desparate to re-hype his damaged goods. Credit to him for that I guess.
