Live Hatton vs. Senchenko Results:
Ricky Hatton returns to the ring on Saturday, November 24, and in the USA, Showtime airs the event live to fight fans across the country. He takes on former welterweight titleholder Vyacheslav Senchenko in his quest to position himself immediately in lien for a title challenge, perhaps against former foe Paulie Malignaggi. Right here, check out our live Hatton vs. Senchenko round by round results. Take a look.
The crowd wasted no time with their chants, cheers and songs. It was a sold out crowd in Manchester, from the same arena of some of Hatton’s greatest triumphs, including his win over Kostya Tszyu, and a truly raucous atmosphere. Seems like one of those real “you have to be there” type of experiences.
Hatton has been through it all since then, bottoming out in a blur of drugs and drinking, depression and suicide attempts. But he’s back and ready to make another run, with one big victory under his belt: conquering his demons and returning to the ring.
