Darrin Van Horn vs. Iran Barkley

Darrin Van Horn vs. Iran Barkley, billed as Champions and Olympians was a professional boxing match contested on January 10, 1992, for the IBF super middleweight title.

Van Horn was able to answer the referee's 10 count and continued but was met with a furious barrage from Barkley and was quickly sent down to the canvas for a second time.

Following the third knockdown, referee Arthur Mercante Jr. stopped the fight and Barkley was named the winner by technical knockout at 1:33 of the round.

Promoter Bob Arum, however, had been in negotiations with Hearns that would have seen him challenge WBA cruiserweight champion Bobby Czyz, and stated a Barkley–Hearns rematch would only happen should he be unable to make the Czyz–Hearns fight.

[10] Then again in 1994, after an almost-two year layoff, Van Horn agreed to challenge Nigel Benn on September 10, but this fight was also called off.
