Barnes last competed at CWFC 78 at the Echo Arena in Liverpool last month, dropping a unanimous decision to former title contender, Victor Cheng.
Redmond has won two on the bounce, stopping both Modestas Bukauskas and Glenn Irvine inside the distance.
CWFC champions Paddy Pimblett and Chris Fishgold are both expected to compete on the ‘invite only’ card, though neither have had fights announced at the time of writing.
