By Scott Gilfoid: Matchroom Sport promoter Eddie Hearn believes that his hand-picked opponent former WBA welterweight champion Vyacheslav Senchenko (34-1, 23 KO’s) will be the toughest challenge of unbeaten #1 IBF Kell Brook’s career this Saturday night at the Motorpoint Arena, Sheffield, Yorkshire, United Kingdom.
While many boxing fans see Senchenko as yet another safe fight that Hearn has picked out for Brook to pad his record with, Hearn is painting Senchenko with entirely different brush.
To Hearn, Senchenko, #8 IBF, #11 WBA, is a class fighter capable of giving Brook a lot of problems.
