Penge welterweight Bradley Skeete insists the pending 2015-16 campaign is the one when he’ll finally land a major title.
The 6ft1in master boxer from Alan Smith’s iBox gym in Bromley has already collected southern area, English, WBA inter-continental and WBO European belts while compiling a 20-1 pro log and a number seven world ranking with the WBO.
The Penge stylist kick-starts his campaign with a tasty looking 10-round defence of his WBO European gong against Heywood hardcase Mark Thompson on the ‘Man versus Machine’ event at Wembley’s SSE Arena on September 26.
And the 27-year-old, who was narrowly edged out by Frankie Gavin in a November 2014 challenge for the British and Commonwealth straps, insists boxing fans haven’t seen nothing yet.
Skeete explained: “This season I hope to break out into good fights against world class opponents.
“I had a little break over in Marbella with the boys and a nice holiday in Halkidiki with the missus.
“Now I’m ready to go again, ready to crack on.”
He added: “I’ve always said I want to do it the traditional way - English, British and Commonwealth, then European.
“I’m definitely European class. If a fight with EBU champ Gianluca Branco could be made, I’d beat him good. I’d be too fresh.
“If not, perhaps I could have international fights with the likes of ex-WBA king Vyacheslav Senchenko, or Viktor Plotnykov who beat Denton Vassell.”
Ticket prices for the Wembley clash on September 26 range from £40 to £150 and are available from frankwarren.com, axs.com and eventim.co.uk, or by calling 0844 815 0815/0844 249 1000.
