Bradley Skeete targeting Amir Khan in 2018
By Marcus Richardson: #3 WBO ranked welterweight contender Bradley Skeete (27-1, 12 KOs) wants to be Amir Khan’s comeback opponent when he returns to the ring in April of next years. That’s when the 31-year-old Khan says he plans on staging his long overdue comeback.
Horn’s promoter says Skeete most boring fighter on planet
By Chris Williams: WBO welterweight champion Jeff Horn’s promoter Dean Lonergan says #3 WBO contender Bradley Skeete (27-1, 12 KOs) is too boring of a fighter for him to defend his title against. So instead of fighting the higher ranked Skeete, Horn (17-0-1, 11 KOs) will be defending his title against the lower ranked #10 WBO Gary Corcoran (17-1, 7 KOs) on December 13 in Brisbane, Australia.

By Jeff Aranow: British promoter Frank Warren is hoping former light welterweight champion Amir “King” Khan (31-4, 19 KOs) will be interested in fighting highly ranked #3 WBO welterweight contender Bradley Skeete (27-1, 12 KOs) when he returns to the ring in the near future.

Bradley Skeete vs. Shayne Singleton on October 22
The Penge punch picker is flying up the world ratings – ranked sixth by the WBO and seventh by the IBF – and with seven of his last nine victims failing to finish, the stylish south Londoner has finally added potency to his purity.
Self belief was coursing through the 28 year old champ’s veins when he spoke to Glynn Evans about his forthcoming first title defence against Colne’s Shayne ‘The Pain’ Singleton on Frank Warren’s monster Cardiff promotion next month.
Bradley Skeete: “My Style Makes Me A Hard Fight For Any Welterweight In The World”
Penge punch picker Bradley Skeete intends adding a final bit of garnish to what has been a breakout 2015-16 campaign when he stars on the mammoth Cardiff Ice Arena bill on July 16th.
After a brace of impressive WBO European title defences over Mark Thompson and Stevie Williams at the tail end of last year, the 6ft 1in stylist from Al Smith’s iBox gym in Bromley delivered a virtuoso display to relieve home hero Sam Eggington of his British and Commonwealth welterweight belts on a rival Matchroom show in Birmingham last March.
Khan offered Liam Smith and Bradley Skeete fights
By Scott Gilfoid: Amir Khan (31-3, 19 KOs) has reportedly been offered fights against #8 WBO welterweight contender Bradley Skeete (22-1, 10 KOs) and WBO junior middleweight champion Liam Smith (22-0-1, 12 KOs) by British promoter Frank Warren. It’s unclear why Khan would consider fighting either of those two guys, however, as neither of them are star caliber fighters, and the money that the inactive Khan would make in fights against them would likely be far less than what he could make if he fought IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook in the summer.
“He [Khan] should consider my offer to him of a fight with Bradley Skeete at welterweight, or if he finds any excess pounds he may have accumulated through his inactivity hard to shed, with our WBO super-welterweight champion Liam Smith,” Warren said on his site at frankwarren.com.
I think it’s safe to say that Khan won’t even consider fighting Skeete or Smith. Not now, not ever. There’s just no upside in fighting those obscure fighters. Skeete is the WBO European welterweight champion, and he was soundly beaten in 2014 by Frankie Gavin.
