Barker has been dogged by injuries and briefly retired after withdrawing from a top-of-the-bill clash at Alexandra Palace, but is glad to be back in action. "Every morning I'd wake up and out of my bedroom window I can see Ally Pally and was buzzing," he said. "To have to wake up the next morning, pull out because of injury and see Ally Pally. You think is this worth it? "It was a decision I made when I was down in the dumps and I've got some really good people around me, who have helped me through it.
