Skelton's European title fight postponed by British Boxing May 8th 2008

Matt Skelton's European heavyweight title challenge against Sinan Samil Sam has been postponed because of an injury to Sam. The fight was due to take place in Istanbul on May 30. However, it will now be arranged at a later date when Sam has fully recovered. Skelton was looking to get back to winning ways after losing a WBA world title fight against Ruslan Chagaev on points earlier this year. " I am disappointed that the fight has been postponed after putting in lots of hard work in the gym, but I am looking forward to the re-arranged date and proving to everyone that I can beat Sam and go on to a second shot at the world title," said Skelton.
