STEVE Bendall will be back in the spotlight when he challenges Darren Barker for the Commonwealth middleweight title on February 22 at Bethnal Green.
The Poole-based southpaw has been repaid for winning his last three contests with a crack at Barker, who beat Ben Crampton on an unanimous points decision in November to secure the vacant crown.
Bendall will go head to head with Barker in a top-of-the-bill bout being screened live by Sky Sports.
