By Scott Gilfoid: Ricky Hatton’s comeback has knocked some crazy ideas into his head where he thinks he’s going to beat the top fighters in the sport. I bet. Hatton will be starting his comeback on November 24th against former WBA World welterweight champion Vyachslav Senchenko (32-1, 21 KO’s) at the Manchester Arena (formerly M.E.N Arena), in Manchester, Lancashire, UK. This should be easy fight, even if Hatton is only 50% of what he once was.
Hatton said to the Dailystar.co.uk “To the fighters out there holding the world title belts; my message is that I am after you because I want to get right back to the top.”
By Jim Dower: Ricky Hatton (45-2, 32 KO’s) could be returning to the ring as early as November to possibly face unbeaten World Boxing Association welterweight champion Vyacheslav Senchenko (29-0, 20 KO’s), according to The Sun. The choice of opponent and the weight class would seem less than desirable for Hatton, because Senchenko isn’t well known and is much bigger than Hatton at 5’10” compared to Hatton’s 5’7.” Besides the height problems, Hatton would also be giving up five inches in reach to Senchenko, who has a reach of 70” compared to Hatton’s 65.”
