Williams had Harrison down in the 10th Round, but was unimpressive when he fought Skelton. This time he is looking to impress and promises to hold nothing back.
This is what Team Skelton told Saddoboxing today……
Matt is completely gutted and would like to apologise to his fight fans who he knows were looking forward to this fight, also his promoter as he knows how much work it takes to get these shows on and to Audley who has obviously prepared himself for weeks.
It's unfortunate but he lives to fight another day. Hopefully, the winner of Audley/Danny will be Matt's next fight and hopefully will be the decider in who rules in Britain!
- Team Skelton
