    Matt Skelton's European heavyweight title challenge against Sinan Samil Sam has been postponed because of an injury to the Turk.

    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.

    Listen you insensative bastards Sinial is part of a tradition of great Turkish heavyweights! He comes from a proud Turkish boxing tradition of heavyweight champions that take no prisoners. Turkey now has more heavyweight champions than tunisia and even more than Dimpimpel's Bellorouse!!! Turkey has twice as many heavyweight champs as Bellorouse! Per Capita Turkey has more heavyweight champions than half the countries in the world

    When Sinail beats Skelton Rainmaker and I will celebrate with the traditional Mongol Turkik beverage of fermented Mare's Milk!

    :bears: Sinan will DESTROY Skelton once he is fully recovered. The members on this site or not educated enough on the threat that Sam poses to the current heavyweight crop.

    You can make a good judgement on whether threads should be sticky or not.

    I'm a Sam fan! Totally converted. He's a facefirst, chugging forward brawler who will take one to land one. He's not pretty and he's not a boxer, but he's a brawler, a puncher, and a true crowd pleaser.

    You guys may love teasing Rainmaker, but Sam is fun to watch when he's matched correctly. While it is true that a person with a jab, stamina, and footwork will make him look bad, a slugger will make him look great! :clap:

    I thought Skelton had secured a shot vs Sam Peter.

    Sam lost to Oleg, he is very much a C level fighter, should be fun to see which of these fat fucks gasses first.:crafty:
