Sergio Martinez vs. Darren Barker is a Middleweight fight for The Ring title.
The fight will take place in Boardwalk Hall, Atlantic City, New Jersey, United States on 01 October 2011 Barker, the European champion, was certainly not the first choice for Martinez, various other potential opponents turned down overtures for a bout against him. Promoter Lou DiBella offered the fight with Martinez to titleholders Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and Daniel Geale as well as junior middleweight titlist Miguel Cotto and Paul Williams, for a rubber match. Martinez said he was willing to face Cotto at middleweight or drop down to junior middleweight to fight him, but Cotto continues to ignore the fight.
