Lightweight Mark ‘The Flash’ Alexander is just a few days away from the biggest fight of his life, and his first title challenge, against former English Super Featherweight Champion Ryan Barrett on the Steve Goodwin Promoted ‘It’s Personal’ double title event at York Hall, Bethnal Green, London, on Saturday the 11th September 2010.

The ever amiable Alexander, who rightly earned the title shot following his sensational four knockdown, in three rounds, stoppage victory over the highly touted Michael ‘Simply’ Devine back in April, took some time out to speak about the preparations for his showdown with Barrett, “I’m been getting some great work in the gym. My final sparring sessions with Freddie Turner and Ben Murphy were real wars.

The heated war of words, between former English Super Bantamweight Champion Ryan Barrett and Mark ‘The Flash’ Alexander, ahead of their eagerly awaited International Masters title clash on the Steve Goodwin ‘It’s Personal’ double title show at York Hall, Bethnal Green, London, on Saturday the 11th September, finally boiled over last night, during their appearance on Steve Bunce’s BBC Radio London Boxing Hour Show.

Ironically the opening salvo of the hostilities was fired by Alexander with his publicly calling out Barrett on Bunce’s show back in May.

Barrett retaliated with a bombardment of vitriolic comments in the press, such as, “He is scared of me and will try to run away all night but I will track him down and knock him out”

“He doesn’t exist in my World. I have no respect for the man. He’s upset the wrong person. All I’ll say to him is just run and hide.”

Promoter Steve Goodwin has added some extra fuel to the fire that’s already burning between Hackney’s Mark ‘The Flash’ Alexander and Former English Super Featherweight Champion Ryan Barrett, by making their 11th September showdown, at the York Hall, Bethnal Green, London, for a championship title.

It’s already more than clear that neither Barrett or Alexander particularly likes the other by the comments each has been publicly making recently. Now with a championship belt on the line it’s become a ‘light the blue touch paper’ situation.

On Friday last week, prior to the photo shoot at the Ultrachem TKO Gym in Canning Town, for the promotional poster for the event, Barrett stated, “I don’t particularly like the man. I don’t like the way that he feels he has to call me out, he only had to be polite and put it in Boxing News. Instead he said I didn’t want to fight him.

He doesn’t exist in my World. I have no respect for the man. He’s upset the wrong person. All I’ll say to him is just run and hide.

I think he’ll fight the fight one of two ways. He might come out and try and nick the first few rounds and then run to see it out to a points win. If he thinks he can’t do that he’ll just start off running, making it as awkward as possible, but I don’t think his old legs will carry him the full ten rounds trying to outrun me, really.”
