Bradley Skeete wants world title shot at Manny Pacquiao but only after he wins the Londsdale belt outright

British Champion Bradley Skeete was all set to fight Shayne Singleton, but injury forced Singleton to withdraw from the fight. This left Skeete without an opponent until Scotsman John Thain stepped in at just four week’s notice.
Skeete last fought on the 25th of November 2016 against John Thain; Judges scored the fight 116-114, 118-111 and 118-111 all in favour of Skeete.
The London boxer started boxing as a kid. He told Ringnews24.com:
“My dad got me in to boxing; I was about 7 years old. My dad worked for Sid Khan at the time – Sid’s the head coach of Earlsfield Boxing Club. Sid’s got two sons David and Arron who went to the gym. I’ve grown up with them – I wanted to go and give it a go.”
Skeete grew up watching his idol Prince Naseem Hamed and dreamed of becoming world champion:

Nice boxer to chat to and good to see he want's the British outright before trying to get a world title shot. He wasn't joking when he said "The welterweight division is a tough one to be in."
