Integrated Sports will distribute a world-class pay-per-view card headlined by Amir Khan versus “The Baby Faced Assassin”, Marco Antonio Barrera, on Saturday, March 14 live from The MEN Arena in Manchester, United Kingdom.
Khan, 19-1 (15), a 2004 Olympic Silver Medallist, defends his WBA International lightweight title against seven-time world champion Barrera 65-6, (42), in the 12-round main event.
The two other PPV fights will be former WBO cruiserweight title-holder Enzo Maccarinelli, 29-2 (22), against NABO champ Ola “Kryptonite” Afolabi, 13-1-3 (5), for the WBO cruiserweight championship, while WBO super middleweight champion Nicky “Cookie” Cook, 29-1 (16), defends his title belt against undefeated No. 1 contender Roman “Rocky” Martinez, 21-0-1 (12).
“We’re thrilled to be distributing this sensational tripleheader to North American boxing fans,” Integrated Sports president Doug Jacobs said. “The main event is a potential classic match-up between a top prospect, Khan, and veteran warrior, Barrera.
"Fans are very interested to see how Khan has improved since he started working with trainer Freddy Roach as well as what future Hall of Famer Barrera has left. Maccarinelli vs. Afolabi and Cook vs. Martinez shape-up as two very fan-friendly bouts, too, and either could be main events.”
