Royal date for Skeete

12:47pm Thursday 26th April 2012 in Other Sport By Graham Moody, Sports Reporter

Battersea welterweight Bradley Skeete will fight at the Royal Albert Hall tomorrow night.

The former Earlsfield ABC representative is on the undercard of what was supposed to be Nathan Cleverley’s latest defence of his WBO light-heavyweight title against Robin Krasniqi.

Cleverley pulled out with a viral infection but the card still goes ahead, with the Commonwealth middleweight title fight between Billy Joe Saunders and Tony Hill now taking centre stage.

Skeete is undefeated in seven professional bouts but faces a difficult challenge in Crawley’s Ross Payne, who is also undefeated having won all three of his professional fights.
