The two men return to the Kingdom Arena, where Fury tasted defeat for the first time in his professional career against Usyk, losing by split decision in a gripping encounter.
Barker feels that the star has a huge opportunity to return the favour against his unbeaten foe, and says that he is delighted by the sounds he has heard from his preparations.
"I absolutely love what I’ve heard and seen from Tyson Fury," he told DAZN's broadcast of the Open Workouts. "This isn’t the time to be playing or messing around.
"This is about redemption. What can he do this time? Can he inflict pain? Will he inflict hurt? Will he back up his words? It is such a good fight."
Barker admits that he is struggling to split the two however, and admits he will be fascinated to see if Fury allows his foe to dictate the flow of the encounter too easily.
"[Usyk] looked cool, calm and collected," he added. "Very relaxed and on good form. This is one of the things I’m interested in.
"Is he going to do exactly the same as last time and dominate, and not leave Fury alone? Will [Fury] allow that to happen that again? We’ve got the best seat in the house."
