## Professional career

Born in Tooting, Skeete made his professional boxing debut in October 2010 with a points win against Billy Smith.
In December 2012, he stopped Chas Symonds in four rounds to take the BBBofC Southern Area welterweight title, successfully defending it in March 2013 against Peter McDonagh.
In November 2013, he beat Colin Lynes by unanimous decision to take the English welterweight title. In his next fight he beat Christopher Sebire to take the vacant WBA Inter-Continental welterweight title. He successfully defended the inter-continental title in April 2014, stopping Tobia Giuseppe Loriga in the seventh round.
In November 2014, he faced Frankie Gavin at the ExCel Arena for the latter's British title and the vacant Commonwealth title. The fight went the distance with Gavin getting a controversial unanimous decision, inflicting the first defeat of Skeete's career.
On 28 February 2015, Skeete beat Anzor Gamgebeli to take the vacant WBO European welterweight title, and successfully defended it four months later, stopping Mark Thompson in the third round. He followed this with a second defence against Stevie Williams in November 2015.
In March 2016 he convincingly beat defending champion Sam Eggington to add the British and Commonwealth titles.
On 28 April 2018, Skeete faced Spanish boxer Kerman Lejarraga for the vacant European welterweight title last held by Mohamed Mimoune. He lost the bout by technical knockout in the second round.
Skeete challenged Hamzah Sheeraz for the WBO European light-middleweight title at the Copper Box Arena in London on 4 December 2021 losing the fight by stoppage in the ninth-round of a controversial contest which saw the champion docked a point in round eight for punching Skeete while he was on the canvas after being knocked down.
Skeete officially announced his retirement from boxing in March 2022.
