Team Skeete Hoping To Land November Clash With Jeff Horn
Andy Ayling, the manager of British welterweight Champion Bradley Skeete (27-1, 12 KOs), has told BoxingScene that rumours of a mooted fight between his charge and Australia’s WBO holder Jeff Horn (17-0-1, 11 early) are correct, but reiterated that it is not a done deal as things stand. Brisbane’s The Courier Mail reported that the fight was on following comments made by Horn’s trainer Glenn Rushton at a business breakfast in the city earlier this week. Rushton claimed that his fighter would be meeting a ‘6’ 1’’ champion English boxer’, which could only be a reference to Skeete, who is ranked at three in the WBO’s Top Ten and is therefore an eligible opponent for a voluntary defence.
