Skelton will fight McBride, for the WBU title
winner 'could' get a shot at WBA or WBO.Khan will be on the undercard, so he'll get 4 fights in the last 6 months of 2005, which is pretty good going considering they're all televised.
There are also 5 other title fights lined up for the undercard. That sounds interesting? Anyone there who can say what these will be? Hopefully they should make up for the main event, which, call me mad, but I think could end up being like watching Wildlife on 1 (Blue Whale mating season episode)
Matt Skelton will fight Kevin McBride at the ExCel Centre on December 10 with the winner being promised a shot at a version of the world heavyweight title.
Skelton had been due to face Danny Williams on December 3 but turned down that fight because the Londoner pulled out of their July showdown at the last minute.
Instead British champion Skelton will fight the man who ended the career of Mike Tyson when he forced him to quit after six rounds earlier this year.
And the winner could find himself in line for a crack at either the WBO or WBA heavyweight world titles.
On December 10 the WBU belt will be on the line, while there is an action-packed under-card which currently has five other title fights lined up as well as the fourth professional appearance of Amir Khan.
Undefeated Skelton will start the fight favourite, but McBride is full of confidence following his shock defeat of Tyson.
The 32-year-old has a 33-4-1 record, and was previously promoted in the UK by both allegedly and Frank Maloney.
