David Barnes is ready to resurect his boxing career after a hand injury nearly forced him out of the sport.
Barnes, 28, is one of eight British fighters aiming to win £32,000 by winning next week's Prizefighter Light-Welterweights. A former British Champion at both welterweight and light-welterweight, Barnes has not been in the ring since injury forced him to relinquish his light-welterweight title last winter.
"I broke my hand in my title victory over Barry Morrison but two weeks before my next defence (against Colin Lynes) I broke it again," said Barnes. "I've lost my belt out of the ring twice and it's been so frustrating as I'm undefeated as a British Champion.
"It was a very bad injury and the doctors told me I hadn't rested it enough when it happened again. That's why I've not been in a rush to get back in the ring otherwise it would've gone again. More...

Boxing legend Floyd Mayweather will perform the draw for Prizefighter Light Welterweights.
Mayweather, widely regarded as the greatest fighter on the planet and the World pound for pound Champion, will be shown on Friday making the draw for the next Prizefighter event.
He will become another boxing legend to become involved in Prizefighter after Mike Tyson, Ricky Hatton and Chris Eubank, who have all performed draws in the past.
No boxers will be seeded for the draw so anyone could face anyone. It could lead to a number of mouth-watering fights as the competitors include some of the biggest British names in the division. More...

Former British title holders David Barnes, Barry Morrison and Young Mutley will also be vying for the £32,000 winner’s prize, while Southern Area Champion Lee Purdy completes a strong line-up. More...

Audley Harrison managed to rub some of the tarnish off his career last night by winning Prizefighter Heavyweights III at London's Excel Arena.
As usual among this series of three round extravaganzas, there were upsets galore as the original lineup of eight fighters went to work in the opening quarterfinal stage.
In a real shocker, British champion Danny Williams was floored twice by massive but inexperienced Sheffield southpaw Carl Baker, who survived Williams' desperate third round barrage to record a 29-26, 29-26 and 28-27 win.
Another surprise saw undefeated Irishman Coleman Barrett post a narrow verdict over far more seasoned former British champ Scott Gammer of Wales via scores of 29-28 on all three cards. More...

The successful Prizefighter series continues tonight at London's Excel Arena when eight of the country's top heavyweights go head to head in an elimination tournament.
Amongst the eight attempting to bag the £32,000 prize fund are bitter rivals and former opponents Danny Williams and Audley Harrison.
Both men boast one win apiece over each other and should both men win their opening two bouts, they are scheduled to meet in the final.
The beauty of this tournament is that the matches are held over three consecutive three minute rounds. Seedings in tournaments like this tend to go out of the window, so one shouldn't be surprised if a lesser known fighter upsets the odds. More...

"The Prizefighter is an exciting format and British fight fans are in for a big treat on October 2nd" More...
