    Hi everybody, Charles here. I was wondering what everybody knows about Matt Skelton. Every month I write a bio. article on a new fighter and where I think he stands in his division, etc. For the month of October I have chosen Matt Skelton. I need to know everything there is to know about him. I already have all of the information I need regarding his mma/kickboxing history. What I need is information regarding his boxing and home life. If any of you have a way of contacting him I would be most grateful if you would share this information with me. I am somewhat of a fan of his and would love to write a good piece on him. Thank you very much.

    wikipedia is probably your best bet but I cant see someone being interested enough to even write up a wiki for him............ if you do find one though make sure you have some pro plus, two potskh of coffee and a few cans of red bull as it'll be a boring read:deal

    But why would you wanna put yourself through that:huh

    Something like that. I have been doing this for a while now and believe me, he is not the first on my list of boxers to choose from, but I will admit, I like the guy. He seems cool, and I like the ruggedness of him. He can really take a punch and keep on coming. Yeah I checked wikipedia, but there isn't much there. I was really hoping that somebody had a way of contacting him.

    I'd steer clear of his home life

    He's a gentleman but a poor representative of heavyweight talent.

    He lives in Bedford I think?

    DO you have a website? Get on to his promoter if you do, I cant imagine people are lining up to talk to Skelton so you might get to e-mail him some questions or something.

    Nope, count me in too.

    Maybe more as a person than a fighter, but I do root for ol' Morph.

    I like Skelton.

    He has had some interesting fights too, Williams I was very intense as Skelton tried to intimidate Danny early on.

    Keith Long was it, that was a good honest scrap too.

    The Ali shuffle in Williams II was perhaps a bit much though.

    On the personal stuff, a friend of mine comes from Bedford, where Skelton is a local celeb, often seen out and about. Seems to be well liked in his hometown.
