Matt Skelton is eyeing a crack at the European title after being nominated to fight Alexander Dimitrenko for the vacant belt.

Commonwealth champion Skelton, 40, has withdrawn from a proposed rubber fight with Danny Williams.

A win over Dimitrenko would open up new horizons for the Bedford brawler, who boxes over eight rounds at the Millennium Stadium, Cardiff, on November 3.

It will be a keep busy fight ahead of the proposed clash with Dimitrenko.

Skelton is currently 21-1 following his points win over Michael Sprott in July.

Dimitrenko, a 25-year-old Ukrainian based in Germany, is 26-0 (16) and has beaten a series of fringe contenders.

--------------------------------------

Personally, this is about as good as it could have possibly been for Skelton, after his coma-inducing performance against Sprott a few months ago, which I believe, but is yet to be confirmed by my doctor, has in fact infected me with a life-destroying case of narcolepsy, in that I cannot look at a British boxing fight without immediately falling asleep. Whether Skelton wins or loses, hopefully there is some vestige of entertainment in it.
