Interesting fight. Fair play to Skeete going to Spain for it. Hope he's being paid well and hope he gets a fair shake.

Same night as Whyte vs. Browne.
Can't see many tuning in to watch Skeete for the EBU unfortunately...

dont know much of Lejarraga apart from his 90s bad boy pony tale, what i like about skeete is he seems to be improving with better fights ,i think he is more than capable of winning a european title

The Spaniard is heavy handed but looks awfully slow. I expect Skeete to outbox him comprehensively. The only worry I have is Skeete getting robbed out in Spain. I’ve seen some absolutely shocking decisions out in Spain & Italy in favour of the home fighter. I remember years ago Esham Pickering easily & clearly outboxing his opponent for every round only to “lose” on a split decision.

Hopefully Skeete peppers him up & then stops him.

We take a punt we get home advantage.

I think he trusts Skeete. He let even Camp Eddie put on the Eggington fight, take a punt, etc....

Brad and Sam been having some quality rounds in prep for this,Skeete looking sharp and composed

Kerman isn't great, sells tickets, strong, slow, there to hit, has a bit of a dig if you stand in front of him.
Skeete is all wrong for him, but it will be tough to get a decision in Spain

fight week...

Looking forward to this. Expecting Skeete to box his way to another decision but the Spaniard will be in his face and should make it a tough nights work. Hopefully there's no Adelaide Byrd style scorecards!

Skeete will out box him

Has allegedly picked this up yet??

Isn't showing on there schedule as being on. Shame as I would of liked to of watched it

I just assumed it was on BN. I'm sure it will be on

Its on their schedule (under live fights) but time TBC, so not on the EPG's yet.

Fantastic news. Full marks to allegedly for picking this fight up.

A good old fashioned EBU title fight with a British champion travelling to continent.

Glad BN have picked this up. Interesting fight. Looking forward to it.

Just has a look through Lejarraga's record there, sounds a puncher but apart from a stoppage over Vassell, there's nothing on there, I thought Skeete looked boring for the first time in a while against Evans even though he dominated, I think fighting for the European away from will make him raise his game, he'll need to look good to get the decision over there, hopefully he shows he's levels above and Skeete can get Lejarraga out of there

I saw the fight against Denton, he didn't turn up and went down quite easily, he certainly wasn't knocked flat.

What did you think of the Spaniard? You reckon Skeete will have his number?
